  The SAP error message EA314 indicates that the system cannot recognize the structure of the specified IDoc type and object type. This typically occurs when the IDoc type is not defined in the system or when there is a mismatch in the configuration.
  Cause:
  
  IDoc Type Not Defined: The IDoc type specified in the error message may not be defined in the SAP system.
  Missing or Incorrect Configuration: The IDoc type may not be properly configured in the relevant application or may not be activated.
  Transport Issues: If the IDoc type was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly.
  Namespace Issues: If the IDoc type is in a custom namespace, it may not be recognized due to missing definitions or authorizations.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check IDoc Type Definition:
  
  Use transaction code WE30 to check if the IDoc type is defined in the system.

  Check the message type and ensure it is correctly mapped to the IDoc type.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the IDoc type was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that it was transported successfully.
