  The SAP error message E0159, "No entry in IDOCSYN for basic type &", typically occurs when the system is unable to find a corresponding entry in the IDOCSYN table for the specified basic type of an IDoc. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Cause:

  Incorrect Configuration: The IDoc type may not be properly configured in the system, or there may be a mismatch between the IDoc type and the expected configuration.
