• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IDOC_ADAPTER602 - Partner & could not be converted ?

  The SAP error message IDOC_ADAPTER602 typically indicates that there is an issue with the IDoc (Intermediate Document) processing, specifically related to the partner profile configuration or the data format being sent or received. The error message suggests that the system could not convert the IDoc due to a problem with the partner settings.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Partner Profile Configuration: The partner profile for the sender or receiver may not be set up correctly. This includes settings for message types, process codes, and other parameters.
  Data Format Issues: The data being sent in the IDoc may not match the expected format or structure defined in the IDoc type.
  Missing or Incorrect Mapping: If there is a mapping involved (e.g., between different systems), it may not be correctly defined, leading to conversion issues.
  IDoc Type Not Registered: The IDoc type being used may not be registered or recognized in the system.
  Communication Issues: There may be issues with the communication layer, such as network problems or incorrect communication settings.
