• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EL134 - Old sequence does not agree with current sequence ?

  The SAP error message EL134, "Old sequence does not agree with current sequence," typically occurs in the context of electronic data interchange (EDI) or when dealing with IDocs (Intermediate Documents) in SAP. This error indicates a mismatch between the sequence numbers of the IDocs being processed, which can lead to issues in data integrity and processing.
  Cause:
  
  IDoc Sequence Mismatch: The error usually arises when there is an inconsistency in the sequence numbers of IDocs. For example, if an IDoc is processed out of order or if there are duplicate IDocs with the same sequence number.
  Network Issues: Temporary network issues or interruptions during the transmission of IDocs can lead to sequence discrepancies.
  Manual Interventions: Manual changes or interventions in the IDoc processing can also lead to sequence mismatches.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the EDI settings or IDoc processing settings can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check IDoc Status: Use transaction code WE02 or WE05 to check the status of the IDocs. Look for any IDocs that are in error status and analyze their sequence numbers.
  Reprocess IDocs: If you identify IDocs that are causing the issue, you may need to reprocess them. This can be done using transaction code BD87 for reprocessing IDocs.
  Correct Sequence: Ensure that IDocs are being sent and processed in the correct sequence. If necessary, adjust the sending system to ensure that IDocs are sent in the correct order.
  Review Configuration: Check the EDI and IDoc configuration settings in your SAP system to ensure they are set up correctly. This includes checking partner profiles and message types.
  Consult Logs: Review the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context on the issue.
  Network Stability: Ensure that the network connection between the systems involved in the EDI process is stable and reliable.
