  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/SYNC136 ALE inbound processing will be started independent of OK indicator typically occurs in the context of Application Link Enabling (ALE) and is related to the processing of inbound messages. This message indicates that the system is proceeding with the inbound processing of a message even though the "OK" indicator (which usually signifies that the message is ready for processing) is not set.
  Cause:
  
  Message Status: The message being processed may not have the expected status or may not have been marked as "OK" in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the ALE settings or in the message type settings that are causing the system to bypass the OK indicator.
  Data Issues: The data being sent in the inbound message may not meet the required criteria, leading to the system processing it regardless of the OK status.
  Custom Logic: If there are custom enhancements or modifications in the ALE processing logic, they might be affecting how the OK indicator is evaluated.

  Check Message Status: Verify the status of the inbound message in the relevant transaction (e.g., WE02 or WE05) to see if it is marked as "OK" and investigate why it is not.

  Analyze Data: Look into the data being sent in the inbound message to ensure it is complete and valid. You may need to check the source system to ensure that it is sending the correct data.
  Debugging: If necessary, debug the inbound processing logic to see how the OK indicator is being evaluated and why the system is proceeding without it.
