• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WE019 - New entry: no original exists ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message WE019 New entry: no original exists:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WE019 New entry: no original exists
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when you try to create or maintain an IDoc (Intermediate Document) or an IDoc segment in the system, but the system cannot find the original or reference object that the new entry is supposed to be linked to.
  More specifically:
  
  You are attempting to create a new entry (e.g., a new segment or a new message type) in the IDoc configuration.
  The system expects that this new entry should be linked to an existing original object (such as an existing IDoc type, segment, or message type).
  However, the original object does not exist in the system, or the reference is incorrect.
  
  This can happen in scenarios such as:
  
  Creating a new segment definition without having the parent IDoc type defined.
  Adding a new message type or segment that references a non-existent IDoc type or segment.
  Incorrect or incomplete customizing in WE30 (IDoc type development) or WE31 (segment editor).
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Existence of the Original Object:
  
  Verify that the original IDoc type, segment, or message type you are referencing actually exists.
  Use transaction WE30 to check IDoc types.
  Use transaction WE31 to check segments.
  Use transaction WE81 to check message types.
  
  
  
  Correct the Reference:
  
  If the original object does not exist, create it first.
  If the reference is incorrect (e.g., typo in the IDoc type or segment name), correct it.
  
  
  
  Maintain the IDoc Structure Properly:
  
  When creating new segments or message types, always ensure the parent IDoc type or segment is already defined.
  Follow the correct sequence: define segments ? define IDoc types ? assign segments to IDoc types ? define message types ? assign IDoc types to message types.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing and Transport Requests:
  
  Sometimes, the original object exists in a different client or system but not in the current one.
  Ensure that all necessary objects are transported and available in the system where you are working.
  
  
  
  Use SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error.
  Review SAP documentation on IDoc development and customizing.

  IDoc Concepts:
  
  IDocs are structured documents used for data exchange.
  They consist of segments, which are reusable data structures.
  Message types are linked to IDoc types to define the business context.
  
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  When extending or customizing IDocs for new business requirements.
  When importing IDoc definitions from other systems or SAP standard.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error "WE019 New entry: no original exists" means you are trying to create or maintain an IDoc-related entry that references an original object which does not exist in the system. To fix it, ensure the original IDoc type, segment, or message type exists and is correctly referenced before creating new entries.
