• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_DIS143 - Do not delete unnecessary IDoc files ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_DIS143 with the description "Do not delete unnecessary IDoc files" typically relates to the management of IDoc files in the SAP system. This error can occur in scenarios where the system is trying to delete IDoc files that are still needed or are not marked for deletion.
  Cause:
  
  IDoc Status: The IDocs in question may still be in a status that requires them to be retained. For example, if they are still being processed or have not been acknowledged, the system will prevent their deletion.
  Configuration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the IDoc processing that dictate how and when IDoc files can be deleted.
  Custom Logic: Custom programs or enhancements may be interfering with the standard IDoc processing logic, leading to attempts to delete IDocs that should not be deleted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check IDoc Status: Review the status of the IDocs that are being targeted for deletion. Ensure that they are in a status that allows for deletion (e.g., status 53 - "IDoc is processed").
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to IDoc processing in transaction WE20 (Partner Profiles) and WE21 (Port Definition). Ensure that the settings align with your business processes.
  Monitor IDoc Processing: Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to monitor IDoc processing and identify any IDocs that are stuck or in error status. Resolve any issues with these IDocs before attempting deletion.
  Custom Code Review: If there are custom programs or enhancements that interact with IDoc processing, review the code to ensure it is not attempting to delete IDocs prematurely.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to IDoc processing for any specific guidelines or recommendations.
  
  Related Information:
  
  IDoc Types: Understand the different types of IDocs and their purposes within your SAP landscape.
  IDoc Monitoring: Regularly monitor IDocs to ensure they are processed correctly and to avoid accumulation of unnecessary IDocs.
  Archiving Strategy: Consider implementing an archiving strategy for IDocs that are no longer needed, rather than deleting them outright.
