• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP302 - IDoc & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message WP302: IDoc & does not exist typically occurs when the system tries to process or reference an IDoc (Intermediate Document) that cannot be found in the database. This error is common in scenarios involving IDoc processing, such as inbound or outbound IDoc handling, ALE distribution, or when manually trying to display or reprocess an IDoc.
  
  Cause
  
  The IDoc number referenced in the process does not exist in the system.
  The IDoc might have been deleted or never created.
  Incorrect IDoc number entered manually.
  The IDoc was archived and is no longer available in the active database.
  The IDoc was not successfully created due to previous errors.
  The IDoc number is from a different client or system and not available in the current system.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Verify the IDoc Number:
  
  Double-check the IDoc number you are trying to access or process.
  Ensure there are no typos or incorrect entries.
  
  
  
  Check IDoc Existence:
  
  Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to search for the IDoc number.
  If the IDoc is not found, it confirms the IDoc does not exist in the system.
  
  
  
  Check Archiving:
  
  If the IDoc was archived, it will not be visible in WE02/WE05.
  Use transaction SARA to check if IDocs have been archived.
  Retrieve the IDoc from the archive if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Client and System:
  
  Ensure you are in the correct client and system where the IDoc was created.
  IDoc numbers are client-specific.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Reprocess IDoc:
  
  If the IDoc was never created, investigate the process that should have generated it.
  Re-trigger the IDoc generation if possible.
  
  
  
  Check for Deletion:
  
  Confirm if the IDoc was deleted manually or by a cleanup job.
  If deleted, you may need to regenerate the IDoc.
  
  
  
  Check ALE Configuration:
  
  If the error occurs during ALE distribution, verify partner profiles and message types.
  Ensure the IDoc is correctly generated and sent.
