• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SIPT836 - No data exists for external document & or BAdI is not implemented ?

  The SAP error message SIPT836 indicates that there is no data available for the specified external document, or that a Business Add-In (BAdI) related to the process is not implemented. This error typically occurs in the context of document processing, such as when trying to retrieve or display documents that are expected to be linked to a specific external reference.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Data Exists: The external document ID you are trying to access does not exist in the system. This could be due to:
  
  The document was never created.
  The document was deleted.
  The document is in a different status or not yet processed.
  
  
  
  BAdI Not Implemented: The system is expecting a specific BAdI implementation to handle the processing of the external document, but it has not been implemented. This could happen if:
  
  The BAdI is optional and has not been activated.
  The BAdI implementation is missing or incorrectly configured.
  
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Verify Document Existence:
  
  Check if the external document ID you are using is correct.
  Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) to look up the relevant tables and see if the document exists.
  
  
  
  Check BAdI Implementation:
  
  Use transaction SE18 to check if the BAdI is defined and if there are any implementations available.
  If the BAdI is not implemented, you may need to create an implementation. This can be done using transaction SE19.
  Consult with your development team or SAP support to determine if the BAdI is necessary for your process and how to implement it correctly.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Ensure that all necessary configurations related to document processing are correctly set up in the system.
  Check if there are any specific settings or prerequisites that need to be fulfilled for the external document processing.
