This error typically occurs when there is an attempt to process an IDoc that is expected to be of a certain type but does not meet that requirement.
  Cause:
  
  IDoc Type Mismatch: The IDoc being processed is not of the expected type. For example, if the system expects a change type IDoc (e.g., ORDCHG for order changes) but receives a different type (e.g., ORDERS for order creation), this error will occur.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration in the IDoc processing settings may not align with the IDoc type being sent.
  Data Issues: The data in the IDoc may not conform to the expected structure or type, leading to processing errors.
  Inconsistent Partner Profiles: The partner profiles (WE20) may not be set up correctly to handle the specific IDoc type being sent.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check IDoc Type: Verify the type of IDoc being processed. Ensure that it matches the expected inbound processing type. You can do this by checking the IDoc in transaction WE02 or WE05.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the IDoc processing in transaction WE20. Ensure that the inbound parameters are set correctly for the expected IDoc type.
  Correct Data: If the IDoc data is incorrect, you may need to correct the data at the source or adjust the IDoc mapping to ensure it conforms to the expected structure.
  Partner Profile Settings: Review the partner profile settings to ensure that they are configured to accept the specific IDoc type being sent. Make sure that the message type and IDoc type are correctly defined.
