• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FZ273 - Only IDoc data can be processed ?

  The SAP error message FZ273 ("Only IDoc data can be processed") typically occurs when there is an attempt to process data that is not in the IDoc format, which is required for certain operations in SAP, particularly when dealing with data interchange between systems.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Data Format: The data being processed is not in the IDoc format. This can happen if the data is being sent or received in a different format (e.g., flat file, XML, etc.) instead of the expected IDoc structure.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the IDoc processing settings, such as incorrect message types or partner profiles.
  Data Mapping Errors: If there are errors in the mapping of data to the IDoc structure, it can lead to this error.
  IDoc Type Not Defined: The IDoc type being referenced may not be defined or may not match the data being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Format: Ensure that the data being processed is in the correct IDoc format. If you are sending data from an external system, verify that it is being sent as an IDoc.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for IDoc processing in transaction WE20 (Partner Profiles) and WE21 (Port Definition). Ensure that the correct message types and IDoc types are being used.
  Validate IDoc Structure: Use transaction WE30 to check the IDoc type and ensure that it is correctly defined and matches the data being processed.
  Error Handling: If the IDoc is being generated from an application, check the application logs for any errors that may indicate why the IDoc is not being created correctly.
  Testing: Use transaction WE19 to test the IDoc processing. You can create a test IDoc to see if it processes correctly, which can help identify if the issue is with the data or the configuration.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to IDoc processing for any specific guidance or known issues.
