• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RPM_APPL020 - Number of Idocs created: &1 ?

  The SAP error message RPM_APPL020, which states "Number of Idocs created: &1," typically indicates that there is an issue related to the processing of IDocs (Intermediate Documents) in the SAP system. This message is often informational, indicating the number of IDocs that were created during a particular process, but it can also be associated with errors if the number is not as expected.
  Cause:
  
  IDoc Processing Issues: The error may arise if there are issues in the IDoc processing logic, such as incorrect data formats, missing mandatory fields, or other validation errors.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the IDoc settings or partner profiles can lead to problems in IDoc creation.
  Data Issues: The data being processed may not meet the required criteria for IDoc creation, leading to a lower number of IDocs than expected.
  System Performance: If the system is under heavy load, it may not be able to process IDocs efficiently, resulting in fewer IDocs being created.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check IDoc Status: Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to monitor the status of IDocs. Look for any errors or warnings that may indicate why the expected number of IDocs was not created.
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the IDoc configuration and partner profiles are correctly set up. Check the settings in transaction WE20 for partner profiles and WE21 for port definitions.
  Validate Data: Review the data being processed to ensure it meets the necessary criteria for IDoc creation. Check for missing or incorrect data fields.
  Debugging: If necessary, debug the program or process that is responsible for IDoc creation to identify any logical errors or exceptions that may be occurring.
  Performance Monitoring: Monitor system performance to ensure that it is not affecting IDoc processing. If the system is slow, consider optimizing performance or scheduling IDoc processing during off-peak hours.
  
  Related Information:
