• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EDOCUMENT175 - Class &1 is not inherited from class &2; change your input ?

  The SAP error message EDOCUMENT175 indicates that there is an issue with class inheritance in the context of electronic documents. Specifically, the error states that the class you are trying to use (denoted as &1) is not inheriting from the expected class (denoted as &2). This typically occurs in scenarios where a specific class structure is required for processing electronic documents, and the class you are using does not meet that requirement.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Class Usage: The class you are trying to use does not extend or inherit from the required base class. This can happen if the class was created incorrectly or if there was a misunderstanding of the class hierarchy.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the electronic document framework that expect certain classes to be used, and the class you provided does not conform to these expectations.
  Custom Development: If custom classes have been developed, they may not have been implemented correctly to inherit from the necessary base classes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Class Hierarchy: Verify the class you are using (&1) and ensure that it is correctly inheriting from the required class (&2). You can do this by checking the class definition in the ABAP Workbench (transaction SE80 or SE24).
  Modify Class Definition: If the class does not inherit from the required class, you may need to modify its definition to ensure it extends the correct base class.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to electronic documents to ensure that the correct classes are being referenced.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to electronic documents to understand the expected class structure and any specific requirements.
  Testing: After making changes, test the functionality to ensure that the error is resolved and that the electronic document processing works as expected.
