How To Fix VG610 - Intermediate document category & is incorrect: Correct categ.is &

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VG - EDI Messages in SD

• Message number: 610

• Message text: Intermediate document category & is incorrect: Correct categ.is &

What causes this issue?

The specified intermediate document type was not expected by the
<GL:EDI>EDI</> initial program; the intermediate document type which
was expected is stipulated in the short text message. The incorrect
intermediate document type can be found in the EDI partner agreement,
table EDP02.
It may be that the specified intermediate document type is correct but
that the wrong EDI initial program was selected. This is caused by the
processing key in table EDPO2. The processing key overrules table TEDE1
in determining which function module is called up for initial
processing.

How to fix this error?

Check whether the EDI partner agreement is incorrect, that is whether
the intermediate document type does not correspond with the processing
type.
Check the assignment of processing key to function module in initial
processing.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VG610 - Intermediate document category & is incorrect: Correct categ.is & ?

  The SAP error message:
  "VG610 Intermediate document category & is incorrect: Correct categ. is &"
  typically occurs in the context of IDoc (Intermediate Document) processing. This message indicates that the IDoc being processed has an incorrect or unexpected IDoc category (also called message type category), and SAP is expecting a different category.
  
  Explanation of the Error
  
  
  Cause:
  
  The IDoc being processed has a category that does not match the expected category for the message type or process. For example, the system expects an IDoc of category 'C' (for change), but the IDoc has category 'N' (for new), or vice versa. This mismatch causes the system to reject the IDoc or raise an error.
  
  
  The placeholders & in the message are replaced by actual values during runtime:
  
  The first & is the category found in the IDoc.
  The second & is the category expected by the system.
  
  
  
  
  Common Causes
  
  
  Incorrect IDoc category in the inbound or outbound IDoc:
  
  The IDoc was created or modified with an incorrect category.
  The partner profile or message type configuration expects a different category.
  
  
  
  Mismatch in partner profile settings:
  
  The partner profile (WE20) defines the expected IDoc category for inbound or outbound processing.
  If the IDoc category does not match the partner profile settings, this error can occur.
  
  
  
  Incorrect message type or process code assignment:
  
  The process code or message type assigned to the IDoc does not correspond to the expected category.
  
  
  
  Custom developments or enhancements:
  
  Custom code or user exits modifying the IDoc category incorrectly.
  
  
  
  
  How to Identify the Problem
  
  Check the IDoc segment and control record to see the category assigned.
  Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display the IDoc and check the category field.
  Check the partner profile in WE20 for the expected category for the message type.
  Review the process code and message type configuration in WE41/WE42.
  
  
  Solution / Resolution Steps
  
  
  Verify the IDoc category:
  
  Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display the IDoc.
  Check the field IDOCTYP and the category field in the control record (segment EDI_DC40, field MESTYP and CATEG).
  
  
  
  Check partner profile settings:
  
  Go to transaction WE20.
  Select the partner and check the inbound or outbound parameters.
  Verify the message type and the expected IDoc category.
  
  
  
  Correct the IDoc category:
  
  If the IDoc category is incorrect, correct it in the source system or during IDoc creation.
  If the IDoc is inbound, ensure the sending system sends the correct category.
  If the IDoc is outbound, check the configuration or custom code generating the IDoc.
  
  
  
  Adjust partner profile or message type if necessary:
  
  If the partner profile expects a different category, adjust it to match the actual IDoc category.
  Alternatively, adjust the sending system to send the expected category.
  
  
  
  Check for custom code:
  
  Review any user exits or BADIs that might modify the IDoc category.
  Correct the logic if it sets an incorrect category.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the IDoc:
  
  After correction, reprocess the IDoc using transaction BD87 or WE19 (test tool).
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  
  IDoc Categories:
  
  N = New (creation)
  C = Change
  D = Delete
  S = Status
  E = Error
  I = Inquiry
  
  
  
  The category is important because it tells the receiving system how to process the IDoc.
  
  
  The error message is generated in function modules related to IDoc processing, such as IDOC_INPUT_<message_type> or during partner profile validation.
  
  
  
  Summary
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Details
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  IDoc category in the IDoc does not match the expected category configured in SAP.
  
  
  Solution
  Verify and correct the IDoc category or adjust partner profile/message type settings.
  
  
  Transactions
  WE02, WE05 (IDoc display), WE20 (partner profile), BD87 (IDoc reprocessing), WE19 (test)
  
  
  Notes
  Check custom code or enhancements that might alter the IDoc category.
