  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VSB283 - Last IDoc in transfer is not unique ?

    The SAP error message VSB283: Last IDoc in transfer is not unique typically occurs during the processing of IDocs (Intermediate Documents) in SAP. This error indicates that the system has detected that the last IDoc being processed is not unique, which can lead to issues in data transfer or processing.

    Cause:

    1. Duplicate IDocs: The most common cause of this error is the presence of duplicate IDocs in the transfer. This can happen if the same IDoc is sent multiple times or if there are multiple IDocs with the same control record.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the IDoc processing, such as incorrect settings in the partner profiles or message types.
    3. IDoc Status: The IDoc may have a status that does not allow it to be processed correctly, such as being in a status that indicates it has already been processed or is in error.
    4. Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data being sent in the IDoc, leading to conflicts or duplicates.

    Solution:

    1. Check for Duplicates: Review the IDocs being sent to ensure that there are no duplicates. You can use transaction WE02 or WE05 to monitor IDocs and check their status.
    2. Review IDoc Control Records: Ensure that the control records of the IDocs are unique. Each IDoc should have a unique combination of the message type, sender, and receiver.
    3. Adjust Partner Profiles: Check the partner profiles (transaction WE20) to ensure that they are configured correctly for the message types being used. Make sure that the settings for processing IDocs are appropriate.
    4. Check IDoc Status: Use transaction WE02 to check the status of the IDocs. If any IDocs are in error status, investigate the cause of the error and resolve it.
    5. Reprocess IDocs: If you find that there are IDocs that need to be reprocessed, you can use transaction BD87 to reprocess them.
    6. Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.

    Related Information:

    • IDoc Monitoring: Use transactions like WE02 and WE05 for monitoring IDocs and checking their statuses.
