• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EIU223 - Key fields of IDoc are empty ?

  The SAP error message EIU223, which states "Key fields of IDoc are empty," typically occurs when an IDoc (Intermediate Document) is being processed, but the key fields that are required for the IDoc to be valid are not populated. This can prevent the IDoc from being processed correctly, leading to errors in data transfer or integration processes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data: The key fields that are required for the IDoc type are not filled in the data being sent. This could be due to a configuration issue or a problem in the data extraction process.
  Incorrect Mapping: If the data is being mapped from a source system to the IDoc structure, there may be a mapping error that results in key fields not being populated.
  IDoc Structure Changes: If there have been changes to the IDoc structure (e.g., adding or removing fields), the sending system may not be updated to reflect these changes, leading to empty key fields.
  Data Validation Issues: The data being sent may not meet the validation criteria set in the IDoc processing logic, causing the key fields to be ignored or left empty.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check IDoc Structure: Verify the IDoc structure in transaction WE30 to ensure that the key fields are correctly defined and that the IDoc type being used is appropriate for the data being sent.
  Review Data Mapping: If the IDoc is being generated from another system, check the mapping configuration to ensure that all required fields, especially key fields, are being populated correctly.
  Validate Input Data: Ensure that the data being sent to the IDoc is complete and valid. Check for any missing or incorrect values that could lead to empty key fields.
  Debugging: Use transaction WE19 (IDoc test tool) to simulate the IDoc processing and identify where the key fields are not being populated. This can help pinpoint the issue in the data flow.
  Consult Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific IDoc type being used to understand the required fields and their significance.
  Error Logs: Check the error logs in transaction WE02 or WE05 for more details on the IDoc processing errors, which may provide additional context for the empty key fields.
  
  Related Information:
