  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message V4079 - Packing material no. changed from &1 in the old IDoc to &2 ?

    The SAP error message V4079 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the packing material number between the old IDoc and the new IDoc. Specifically, it means that the packing material number has changed from what was previously recorded in the old IDoc to a new value in the current IDoc.

    Cause:

    1. Data Inconsistency: The packing material number in the IDoc does not match the expected value in the system. This can happen if the packing material was changed in the system after the old IDoc was created.
    2. IDoc Processing: The IDoc may have been generated based on outdated or incorrect data, leading to a mismatch when processing the new IDoc.
    3. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that are not aligned with the current packing material data.

    Solution:

    1. Check IDoc Data: Review the old IDoc and the new IDoc to understand the differences in the packing material numbers. You can use transaction WE02 or WE05 to analyze the IDocs.
    2. Verify Packing Material: Ensure that the packing material number in the new IDoc is valid and exists in the system. You can check this in the material master (transaction MM03).
    3. Update Data: If the packing material number has changed legitimately, update the relevant records in the system to reflect the new packing material number.
    4. Reprocess IDoc: If the old IDoc is still valid and should be used, you may need to reprocess the IDoc with the correct packing material number.
    5. Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or change logs to understand why the packing material number was changed and ensure that all related processes are aligned.

    Related Information:

    • IDoc Types: Understand the IDoc type being used for packing materials, as different IDoc types may have different structures and requirements.
