  The SAP error message EDATEX601 indicates that there is an attempt to reimport IDocs that have already been successfully imported into the system. This is a safeguard mechanism in SAP to prevent duplicate processing of IDocs, which could lead to inconsistencies or errors in the data.
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:

  Solution:
  To resolve the EDATEX601 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check IDoc Status: Verify the status of the IDoc in question. You can do this by using transaction code WE02 or WE05 to view the IDoc details. If the IDoc has already been processed successfully, you will need to determine if it is necessary to reprocess it.
  
  
  Reprocess if Necessary: If you need to reprocess the IDoc due to an error in the original processing, you may need to create a new IDoc with the same data instead of trying to reimport the existing one.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If the system is incorrectly configured to allow reprocessing, you may need to adjust the settings in the IDoc processing configuration. This can involve checking the settings in transaction WE20 (Partner Profiles) or WE21 (Port Definitions).
  
  
  Error Handling: If the IDoc processing failed and you need to correct the data, you can use the transaction BD87 to reprocess IDocs that are in error status.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for specific configurations related to IDoc processing in your environment.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  IDoc Types: Understand the type of IDoc you are working with, as different IDoc types may have different processing rules.
  IDoc Monitoring: Regularly monitor IDocs using transaction codes like WE02, WE05, and BD87 to ensure that there are no issues with IDoc processing.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to IDoc processing and the EDATEX601 error.
