  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the IDoc Status: Use transaction code WE02 or WE05 to view the details of the IDoc. Check the status and any associated error messages.

  Ensuring that the target system is available and configured correctly.
  Making sure that the necessary master data is present.

  Recreating the IDoc with the correct data.
