SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VSB - Self-Billing Procedure Messages

• Message number: 315

• Message text: Verification step incomplete (IDocs not processed yet)

What causes this issue?

The processing step should have been started for a transfer for which
the verification step is not complete:
Transfer was blocked when IDoc &V2& should have been processed in the
verification step.

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

System Response

The processing step can only be started when the IDoc has been
processed.

How to fix this error?

Check whether the IDoc is still in the EDI inbox and has status 51. If
this is the case, you have to retrigger processing of the IDoc.
If the IDoc is in the EDI inbox and already has status 53, then you have
to restart the verification step for transfer &V1& that contains the
IDoc.
Note:
Using transaction WE02 or WE05, you can list IDocs and check their
status. IDocs with status 51 that are incorrect can be rescheduled for
processing using transaction BD87.
