• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IST_EBS160 - Interval from &1 to &2: &4 of &3 IDocs were successfully processed ?

  The SAP error message IST_EBS160 indicates that a certain number of IDocs (Intermediate Documents) were successfully processed within a specified interval. The message format typically looks like this:
  Interval from &1 to &2: &4 of &3 IDocs were successfully processed
  Where:
  
  &1 and &2 represent the start and end of the interval.
  &3 is the total number of IDocs that were processed.
  &4 is the number of IDocs that were successfully processed.
  
  Cause
  This message is not necessarily an error; rather, it is an informational message indicating the processing status of IDocs. It is generated during the execution of a process that involves IDoc handling, such as inbound or outbound processing. The message is typically logged in the application log or displayed in the IDoc monitoring transaction (like WE02 or WE05).
  Solution
  Since this message is informational, there is no direct solution required unless you are expecting a different outcome (e.g., more IDocs to be processed successfully). Here are some steps you can take if you are concerned about the number of successfully processed IDocs:
  
  
  Check IDoc Status: Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to monitor the status of IDocs. Look for any IDocs that have errors or are in a status other than "Processed" (e.g., "Error" or "Waiting").
  
  
  Analyze Errors: If there are IDocs with errors, investigate the error messages associated with them. You can find detailed error information in the IDoc display.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the IDoc processing configuration is set up correctly. This includes checking partner profiles, message types, and any relevant settings in the IDoc interface.
  
  
  Reprocess IDocs: If there are IDocs that failed, you may need to correct the underlying issue and reprocess them. This can be done using transaction BD87 for reprocessing.
  
  
  Monitor Performance: If you are concerned about performance or the volume of IDocs being processed, consider monitoring the system's performance and adjusting batch sizes or processing intervals as necessary.
