  The SAP error message EDOCUMENT_ES_SII_EXT034 typically occurs in the context of the Electronic Document Management (EDM) system, particularly when dealing with the SII (Suministro Inmediato de Información) reporting in Spain. This error indicates that a physical path has not been maintained for a specified logical path in the system.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system attempts to access a logical path that does not have an associated physical path defined. This is often due to configuration issues in the system where the logical path is expected to point to a directory on the file system, but that directory has not been set up or is incorrectly configured.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to maintain a physical path for the specified logical path. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the FILE Transaction:
  
  Go to the SAP GUI and enter the transaction code FILE.
  
  
  
  Maintain Logical Path:
  
  In the FILE transaction, you will find options to maintain logical paths.
  Look for the logical path that corresponds to the one mentioned in the error message (indicated by &1).
  If it does not exist, you will need to create it.
  
  
  
  Define Physical Path:
  
  For the logical path, you need to specify a physical path that points to a valid directory on the server where the files can be stored.
  Ensure that the directory exists on the server and that the SAP system has the necessary permissions to read from and write to this directory.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After entering the physical path, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, try to execute the process that was causing the error again to see if the issue has been resolved.
