• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTR0449 - IDoc status &1: Manual linking is only permitted for status '51' ?

  The SAP error message FTR0449 indicates that there is an issue with the status of an IDoc (Intermediate Document) when trying to perform a manual linking operation. Specifically, the error states that manual linking is only permitted for IDocs that have a status of '51'.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the IDoc you are trying to link does not have the required status. In SAP, IDocs have various statuses that indicate their processing state. Status '51' means that the IDoc is ready for processing and can be manually linked to a financial transaction or document. If the IDoc is in any other status (e.g., '03' for "data record is being processed", '12' for "error during processing", etc.), the system will not allow manual linking.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check IDoc Status: Use transaction code WE02 or WE05 to check the status of the IDoc in question. Look for the IDoc number that corresponds to the error message.
  
  
  Identify the Issue: If the IDoc is not in status '51', you need to determine why it is in its current status. Common reasons include:
  
  The IDoc has not been processed yet.
  There was an error during processing that needs to be resolved.
  The IDoc is in a status that does not allow manual linking.
  
  
  
  Resolve Errors: If the IDoc is in an error status (e.g., '12'), you will need to correct the underlying issue. This may involve:
  
  Analyzing the error message associated with the IDoc.
  Making necessary corrections to the data or configuration.
  Reprocessing the IDoc to change its status to '51'.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the IDoc: Once the issue is resolved, you can reprocess the IDoc. This can be done using transaction code BD87 or by using the appropriate function in your SAP system.
  
  
  Manual Linking: After the IDoc is successfully processed and its status is updated to '51', you can attempt the manual linking operation again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  IDoc Status Codes: Familiarize yourself with the various IDoc status codes and their meanings. This will help you understand the processing state of IDocs and troubleshoot issues more effectively.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  WE02: Display IDoc
  WE05: IDoc List
  BD87: Reprocess IDocs
  
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on IDocs, their statuses, and error handling.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FTR0449 error and successfully perform the manual linking operation.
