• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W9006 - No intermediate document (IDoc) available ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message W9006: No intermediate document (IDoc) available:
  
  Error Message:
  W9006 No intermediate document (IDoc) available
  
  Cause:
  This warning message typically occurs when a process or program expects to find an IDoc (Intermediate Document) for further processing, but no IDoc is found in the system. This can happen in scenarios such as:
  
  The IDoc was never created or generated.
  The IDoc was deleted or archived before processing.
  The selection criteria used to find the IDoc do not match any existing IDocs.
  The partner profile or configuration is incorrect, so the IDoc is not triggered.
  The IDoc was not successfully transmitted or received.
  The process is trying to reprocess an IDoc that does not exist.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During inbound or outbound IDoc processing.
  When running reports or programs that expect IDocs to be present.
  When trying to reprocess or display IDocs.
  In ALE/EDI scenarios where IDocs are used for data exchange.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check IDoc Creation:
  
  Verify if the IDoc was actually created.
  Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to search for the IDoc by message type, date, or other criteria.
  If no IDoc is found, check the preceding process that should generate the IDoc.
  
  
  
  Verify Partner Profile and Configuration:
  
  Check partner profiles in WE20 to ensure the correct message types and outbound parameters are set.
  Confirm that the process triggering the IDoc is correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  If running a report or program, verify the selection parameters to ensure they match existing IDocs.
  
  
  
  Check IDoc Status:
  
  If the IDoc exists but is not processed, check its status in WE02/WE05.
  Status codes like 51 (error) or 64 (ready for dispatch) may indicate issues.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Trigger IDoc:
  
  If the IDoc was never created, trigger the process again to generate the IDoc.
  For example, re-execute the transaction or program that creates the IDoc.
  
  
  
  Check for Archiving or Deletion:
  
  Confirm that the IDoc has not been archived or deleted.
  If archived, retrieve it from the archive if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check ALE/EDI Communication:
  
  Verify the communication channels and ports in WE21.
  Check for any errors in the communication layer (SM58, SMQ1/SMQ2 for queues).
