• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRT_LOGGING073 - IDoc message discarded due to reconciliation message with higher number ?

  The SAP error message SRT_LOGGING073 indicates that an IDoc message has been discarded because it was associated with a reconciliation message that has a higher sequence number. This typically occurs in scenarios where messages are processed in a sequence, and the system expects messages to arrive in a specific order.
  Cause:
  
  Message Sequence: The error arises when a reconciliation message (which is meant to confirm or reconcile previous messages) arrives with a higher sequence number than the IDoc message. This indicates that the IDoc message is considered outdated or irrelevant because the system has already processed a later message.
  Network Issues: Network delays or issues can cause messages to arrive out of order.
  System Configuration: Incorrect configuration in the message processing or IDoc handling can lead to this issue.
  Duplicate Messages: If the same IDoc is sent multiple times, it may lead to conflicts with the reconciliation messages.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Message Sequence: Ensure that messages are being sent and processed in the correct order. Review the sequence numbers of the messages involved.
  Reprocess IDocs: If the IDoc is still relevant, you may need to reprocess it. This can be done by manually triggering the IDoc processing or using transaction codes like WE19 (IDoc test tool) to simulate the processing.
  Monitor and Adjust Configuration: Review the configuration settings for IDoc processing and ensure that they are set up correctly to handle message sequences.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling mechanisms to log and manage such discrepancies in message processing.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide patches or updates that could resolve the issue.
