  The SAP error message E0448 indicates that the specified IDoc type does not have any fields defined. This can occur in various scenarios when working with IDocs in SAP, particularly during the creation, processing, or mapping of IDocs.
  Cause:
  
  IDoc Type Definition: The IDoc type specified may not have been properly defined in the system. This could be due to missing or incomplete field definitions in the IDoc type.
  Transport Issues: If the IDoc type was recently transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport that resulted in missing fields.
  Configuration Errors: There may be configuration errors in the IDoc settings or the associated message type.

  Check IDoc Type Definition:
