• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E0271 - IDoc sent as SAPmail to user & ?

  The SAP error message E0271 indicates that an IDoc (Intermediate Document) has been sent as an SAPmail to a user, but there is an issue with the user ID or the configuration that prevents the IDoc from being processed correctly.
