  SAP Error Message: WE003 - Entry was reactivated
  Message Text:
  
  Entry was reactivated
  
  Cause
  The message WE003 occurs in the context of IDoc processing in SAP. It indicates that an IDoc segment or entry that was previously marked for deletion or inactive has been reactivated during processing.
  This typically happens when:
  
  An IDoc segment or data record was flagged as deleted or inactive.
  During a subsequent processing step, the system detects that the entry should be active again and reactivates it.
  This is often related to inbound IDoc processing or when editing IDoc data in transaction WE02/WE19.
  
  In other words, the system is informing you that an entry that was previously "deleted" or inactive has been restored or reactivated.
  
  When does this message appear?
  
  During inbound IDoc processing, especially when segments are being reprocessed.
  When manually editing IDocs and changing the status of segments.
  When reprocessing IDocs that had errors and were partially processed.
  
  
  Solution
  
  Generally, this message is informational and not an error that stops processing. It informs you that the system has reactivated an entry.
  If you are manually editing IDocs and see this message, verify if the reactivation is intended.
  If the reactivation causes issues, check the IDoc segment data and processing logic to ensure that segments are correctly flagged.
  Review the IDoc status and processing steps to confirm that the reactivation aligns with your business process.
  If the message appears unexpectedly during automated processing, investigate the IDoc inbound processing logic or any custom enhancements that might affect segment status.
