  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EA090 - IDoc '&' was passed to function module '&' ?

    The SAP error message EA090 indicates that an IDoc (Intermediate Document) was passed to a function module, but there is an issue with the IDoc processing. This error typically arises in the context of IDoc processing in SAP, particularly when dealing with inbound or outbound IDocs.

    Cause:

    1. IDoc Structure Issues: The IDoc may not conform to the expected structure or format required by the function module. This could be due to missing segments, incorrect data types, or invalid values.
    2. Function Module Issues: The function module that is being called may not be designed to handle the specific type of IDoc being processed.
    3. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the IDoc processing settings, such as incorrect message types or partner profiles.
    4. Data Issues: The data contained within the IDoc may be invalid or inconsistent, leading to processing errors.

    Solution:

    1. Check IDoc Structure: Verify that the IDoc structure matches the expected format for the function module. You can use transaction WE19 (IDoc test tool) to simulate the IDoc and check for structural issues.
    2. Review Function Module: Check the function module being called to ensure it is appropriate for the IDoc type. You can use transaction SE37 to view the function module and its parameters.
    3. Analyze IDoc Data: Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to analyze the IDoc data. Look for any errors or warnings that may indicate issues with the data being processed.
    4. Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for IDoc processing, including partner profiles (transaction WE20) and message types (transaction WE81).
    5. Debugging: If necessary, you can debug the function module to identify where the error occurs. Set breakpoints in the function module to trace the processing of the IDoc.
    6. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific IDoc type and function module for additional guidance.
