  SAP Error Message:
  WP216 - IDoc segment contains errors - to be processed in the next processing run
  
  Cause:
  The error message WP216 occurs during IDoc processing when one or more segments of the IDoc contain errors that prevent successful processing in the current run. This can happen due to:
  
  Data inconsistencies or invalid data in one or more IDoc segments.
  Missing mandatory fields or incorrect field values in the segment.
  Segment-level validation failures triggered by the application logic.
  Temporary system issues such as locked objects or database inconsistencies.
  The IDoc is flagged for reprocessing because the system could not process it completely in the current run.
  
  The message indicates that the IDoc segment has errors but the system will attempt to process it again in the next scheduled run.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Analyze the IDoc segments:
  
  Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display the IDoc and check the status and error details.
  Identify which segment(s) contain errors by reviewing the segment data and error messages.
  
  
  
  Check the error details:
  
  Look for specific error messages related to the segment in the IDoc status records.
  Review the segment data for missing or incorrect values.
  
  
  
  Correct the data:
  
  If the error is due to incorrect or missing data, correct the data in the source system or directly in the IDoc (if appropriate).
  Sometimes, manual correction of the IDoc segment data is possible using transaction WE19 (Test tool for IDocs).
  
  
  
  Reprocess the IDoc:
  
  After correction, reprocess the IDoc using transaction BD87 or by triggering the inbound processing again.
  If the system is set to automatically retry processing, monitor the next run to ensure the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Check for system or configuration issues:
  
  If the error persists, check for configuration issues in the IDoc processing function modules or partner profiles.
  Review application logs and system dumps for related errors.
