  The SAP error message O9873 indicates that the system is unable to determine a receiver for an IDoc (Intermediate Document) that is supposed to be created. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when dealing with IDoc processing in SAP systems.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  Missing Partner Profile: The partner profile for the receiving system may not be configured correctly or may be missing entirely. The partner profile defines how the IDocs are sent and received.
  
  
  Incorrect Message Type: The message type associated with the IDoc may not have a corresponding receiver defined in the partner profile.
  
  
  Logical System Configuration: The logical system for the sender or receiver may not be set up correctly in the SAP system.
  
  
  IDoc Type Not Assigned: The IDoc type may not be assigned to the correct message type in the partner profile.
  
  
  Filter Settings: There may be filter settings in the partner profile that prevent the IDoc from being sent to the intended receiver.

  To resolve the error O9873, you can take the following steps:

  Ensure that the logical system for both the sender and receiver is correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Review IDoc Type Assignment:
  
  In transaction WE30, check the IDoc type and ensure it is correctly assigned to the message type in the partner profile.
  
  
  
  Check Filter Settings:
  
  Review any filter settings in the partner profile that might restrict the IDoc from being sent to the intended receiver.
