This error is often encountered in the context of data processing or integration scenarios, particularly when dealing with IDocs in SAP.
  Causes:
  
  Missing IDoc: The IDoc specified by the parameters &1 and &2 does not exist in the system. This could be due to it not being created, deleted, or not being processed correctly.

  Solutions:
  
  Check IDoc Existence: Use transaction code WE02 or WE05 to check if the IDoc with the specified identifiers exists in the system. If it does not exist, investigate why it was not created or processed.
