How To Fix VSB262 - The IDoc item contains no net value


SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: VSB - Self-Billing Procedure Messages

  • Message number: 262

  • Message text: The IDoc item contains no net value

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    No net value was transferred in the item.
    Information on the item net value is expected in the IDoc segment/field
    E1EDP26-BETRG. The segement must be identified as the net value
    (E1EDP26-QUALF = '003').

    System Response

    The item cannot be processed.

    How to fix this error?

    A missing net value cannot be corrected using the "Process Errors"
    function.
    You have to exclude the complete delivery record with the "Deactivate
    record" function from further processing, and contact your customer
    directly. The data record has to be transferred again with valid values.
    It is also possible that the problem lies in an incorrect data transfer
    between the EDI subsystem and the SAP IDoc interface (mapping). If this
    is the case, you have to check whether the values specified from the
    transferred data have been transferred correctly to the correct IDoc
    fields (here: E1EDP26-BETRG), or if the value has also been flagged as
    the net value (E1EDP26-QUALF = '003'). In this case, you have to correct
    the mapping so that you get the correct IDocs.

    Procedure for System Administrators

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VSB262 - The IDoc item contains no net value ?

    The SAP error message VSB262, which states "The IDoc item contains no net value," typically occurs when processing an IDoc (Intermediate Document) related to sales and distribution (SD) or other modules where financial values are expected. This error indicates that one or more items in the IDoc do not have a net value specified, which is required for further processing.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Data: The IDoc item may not have a net value populated. This can happen if the data was not correctly filled in the source system or if there was an issue during the IDoc generation.
    2. Incorrect Mapping: The fields in the IDoc may not be correctly mapped to the corresponding fields in the target system, leading to missing values.
    3. Data Format Issues: The data format might not be compatible, causing the system to interpret the value as null or zero.
    4. Custom Logic: If there are custom enhancements or user exits in the IDoc processing, they might inadvertently clear or not populate the net value.

    Solution:

    1. Check IDoc Data: Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to view the IDoc and check the relevant segments for the missing net value. Ensure that the data is populated correctly.
    2. Source System Validation: Verify the source system that generates the IDoc to ensure that it is sending the correct data. Check if the net value is being calculated and sent properly.
    3. Mapping Configuration: Review the IDoc type and segment definitions in transaction WE30 and ensure that the mapping of fields is correct. Make adjustments if necessary.
    4. Error Handling: Implement error handling in the IDoc processing logic to catch and log instances where net values are missing, allowing for easier troubleshooting.
    5. Testing: After making changes, test the IDoc processing with sample data to ensure that the issue is resolved.

    Related Information:

    • IDoc Types: Familiarize yourself with the specific IDoc type being used (e.g., ORDERS, INVOIC) to understand the required fields and their significance.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific IDoc type or error message.
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation on IDocs and their structure to better understand how to troubleshoot and resolve issues related to missing values.
    • Transaction Codes: Use relevant transaction codes like WE19 (for testing IDocs) to simulate and troubleshoot IDoc processing.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the VSB262 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
