• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E0075 - EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (too many repetitions of a segment) ?

  The SAP error message E0075, which indicates a "Syntax error in IDoc (too many repetitions of a segment)," typically occurs during the processing of an IDoc (Intermediate Document) in the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) framework. This error suggests that a specific segment in the IDoc has been repeated more times than allowed by the IDoc's structure definition.
  Cause:
  
  Segment Repetition Limit Exceeded: Each segment in an IDoc has a defined maximum number of repetitions. If the data being sent exceeds this limit, the error will occur.
  Incorrect Mapping: The mapping of data from the source system to the IDoc structure may be incorrect, leading to excessive repetitions of a segment.
  Data Quality Issues: The data being processed may contain duplicates or excessive entries that violate the IDoc structure.
  Configuration Issues: The IDoc type or message type may not be configured correctly in the SAP system, leading to unexpected behavior.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check IDoc Structure: Review the IDoc type and its segments to understand the maximum allowed repetitions for the segment in question. This can be done using transaction WE30 (IDoc Types) or WE31 (Segment Types).
  Validate Data: Ensure that the data being sent does not exceed the allowed repetitions. This may involve checking the source system or the data mapping process.
  Adjust Mapping: If the mapping is incorrect, adjust it to ensure that the correct number of segments is being sent. This may involve modifying the EDI mapping logic or the transformation rules.
  Data Cleansing: If the issue is due to data quality, implement data cleansing processes to remove duplicates or excessive entries before sending the IDoc.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the documentation for the specific IDoc type to understand the expected structure and limitations.
  Testing: After making changes, test the IDoc generation and processing to ensure that the error does not occur again.
  
  Related Information:
