  The SAP error message EDOCUMENT_IN_EWB117 with error code 505 typically relates to issues with the Electronic Way Bill (EWB) functionality in SAP, particularly in the context of integrating with the NIC (National Informatics Centre) for generating electronic waybills in India.
  Cause:
  The error indicates that the public key of the NIC is not present in the keystore of your SAP system. The NIC public key is required for secure communication between your SAP system and the NIC services. Without this key, the system cannot establish a secure connection, leading to the error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to add the NIC public key to the keystore in your SAP system. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Obtain the NIC Public Key:
  
  You need to download the NIC public key certificate. This is usually provided by the NIC or can be found on their official website.
  
  
  
  Access the SAP Keystore:
  
  Use transaction code STRUST in your SAP system to access the Trust Manager.
  
  
  
  Import the NIC Public Key:
  
  In the Trust Manager, navigate to the appropriate keystore (usually the SSL client or server SSL).
  Click on the "Import" button to import the NIC public key certificate.
  Browse to the location where you saved the NIC public key certificate and select it for import.
  Ensure that you use the alias niccert when importing the certificate.
  
  
  
  Save and Activate:
  
  After importing the certificate, save your changes.
  You may need to restart the relevant services or the SAP system for the changes to take effect.
  
  
  
  Test the Connection:
  
  After adding the public key, test the EWB functionality to ensure that the error is resolved and that the system can communicate with the NIC services successfully.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates related to EWB and NIC integration.
