  The SAP error message IDOC_ADAPTER702 indicates that there is a syntax error in an IDoc (Intermediate Document) due to a missing mandatory segment, specifically the E1ADHDR segment in the ALEAUD01 IDoc type. This error typically occurs during the processing of IDocs in the Application Link Enabling (ALE) framework, which is used for data exchange between SAP systems.

  Correct Mapping: If you are using a middleware or mapping tool, ensure that the mapping configuration includes the E1ADHDR segment. Update the mapping to include this segment if it is missing.
  
  
  Test IDoc Creation: After making the necessary changes, test the IDoc creation process to ensure that the E1ADHDR segment is now included and that the IDoc can be processed without errors.
