  SAP Error Message:
  
  VG002 - EDI incoming inquiries terminated
  
  Cause:
  The error message VG002 typically occurs when an incoming EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) inquiry document cannot be processed successfully in SAP. This termination can be due to several reasons, such as:
  
  Incorrect or incomplete data in the incoming EDI inquiry.
  Missing or incorrect partner profiles or EDI configuration.
  Mapping or conversion errors during IDoc processing.
  Master data inconsistencies (e.g., customer or material master data missing or incorrect).
  Authorization issues or system errors during processing.
  
  In short, the system detects a problem while trying to process the incoming EDI inquiry and terminates the process to avoid incorrect data posting.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VG002 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the IDoc Status and Data:
  
  Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display the incoming IDoc.
  Analyze the segments and data for completeness and correctness.
  Look for any error messages or status codes attached to the IDoc.
  
  
  
  Review Partner Profiles:
  
  Check the partner profile settings in transaction WE20.
  Ensure the inbound parameters for the partner are correctly maintained.
  Verify the message type and process code are correctly assigned.
  
  
  
  Check Mapping and Conversion Routines:
  
  If custom mapping or user exits are used, debug or review the code.
  Ensure that the inbound processing function module is working correctly.
  
  
  
  Verify Master Data:
  
  Confirm that all referenced master data (customers, materials, sales org, etc.) exist and are valid.
  Correct any missing or inconsistent master data.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the IDoc:
  
  After corrections, reprocess the IDoc using transaction BD87 or WE19 (test tool).
  Monitor if the IDoc processes successfully.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization and System Logs:
  
  Verify that the user or process has the necessary authorizations.
  Review system logs (SM21) and application logs (SLG1) for related errors.
