  The SAP error message "EDI_MM_ORDER_RESP018 BADI was not Implemented" typically occurs in the context of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) processes, particularly when dealing with order responses in the Materials Management (MM) module. This error indicates that a Business Add-In (BADI) related to the processing of order responses has not been implemented in the system.
  Cause:
  
  BADI Not Implemented: The primary cause of this error is that the specific BADI (Business Add-In) for handling order responses has not been implemented in the SAP system. BADIs are used to enhance standard SAP functionality without modifying the original code.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the EDI settings or the specific process flow that requires the BADI to be implemented.
  Missing Custom Logic: If your organization has specific requirements for processing order responses, and the BADI is expected to contain custom logic, the absence of this implementation will lead to the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Implement the BADI:
  
  Use transaction code SE18 to find the BADI associated with the error message. The BADI name is usually specified in the error message.
  Once you identify the BADI, use transaction code SE19 to implement it.
  Create a new implementation and add the necessary logic as per your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the EDI configuration settings in transaction WE20 (Partner Profiles) and WE21 (Port Definitions) to ensure that everything is set up correctly.
  Ensure that the message types and process codes are correctly defined and linked to the appropriate function modules.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific BADI for guidance on what logic should be implemented.
  Check for any SAP Notes that might provide additional information or updates regarding the BADI.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After implementing the BADI, perform thorough testing to ensure that the order response processing works as expected without any errors.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BADI Documentation: SAP provides documentation for each BADI, which can be accessed through the SAP Help Portal or directly in the SAP system.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on the BADI in question.
