  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_CONV_XML130 'Instructed Agent' is not identical for every transaction typically occurs in the context of data processing or integration scenarios, particularly when dealing with XML data formats or transactions that involve multiple entries. This error indicates that the "Instructed Agent" field, which is expected to be consistent across transactions, has differing values in the data being processed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Inconsistent Data: The most common cause of this error is that the "Instructed Agent" field has different values across the transactions being processed. This inconsistency can arise from:
  
  Manual data entry errors.
  Data extraction from different sources that may not have uniform values.
  Changes in the agent information that were not updated across all relevant transactions.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that expect uniformity in certain fields across transactions, and if these settings are not adhered to, errors will occur.
  
  
  Integration Issues: If the data is being integrated from external systems, discrepancies in the data mapping or transformation processes can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Data Review: 
  
  Review the transactions involved to identify where the "Instructed Agent" values differ. This can often be done by querying the relevant database tables or using transaction codes that display the data.
  Ensure that all transactions that should have the same "Instructed Agent" do indeed have the same value.
  
  
  
  Data Correction: 
  
  Correct any discrepancies found in the data. This may involve updating the "Instructed Agent" field in the affected transactions to ensure consistency.
  If the data is coming from an external source, ensure that the source data is corrected before it is imported into SAP.
  
  
  
  Configuration Check: 
  
  Check the configuration settings related to the processing of these transactions. Ensure that any rules or validations that enforce consistency are correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Testing: 
  
  After making corrections, test the transactions again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training: 
  
  Document the findings and solutions to prevent similar issues in the future. Provide training to users involved in data entry to minimize manual errors.
