  The SAP error message EDATEX072 indicates that an IDoc (Intermediate Document) was partially processed. This means that while some segments of the IDoc were successfully processed, others encountered issues that prevented the entire IDoc from being processed successfully.

  The partial processing of an IDoc can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Data Issues: There may be invalid or missing data in the IDoc segments that are causing processing errors.
  Mapping Errors: If the IDoc is being transformed or mapped to a different format, errors in the mapping logic can lead to partial processing.
  Application Logic: The receiving application may have business logic that rejects certain segments of the IDoc while accepting others.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the IDoc processing or in the related application can lead to partial processing.
  Communication Errors: Issues in communication between systems (e.g., network issues, system downtime) can also lead to partial processing.

  To resolve the issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  Check IDoc Status: Use transaction code WE02 or WE05 to view the status of the IDoc. Look for any error messages associated with the segments that were not processed.
