  Review IDoc Settings:
  
  Use transaction WE60 to review the documentation for the IDoc types and ensure that the expected combinations are valid.

  Validate Data:
  
  Check the data being sent in the IDoc for any inconsistencies or formatting issues that may lead to validation failures.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
