  Error Message
  WP701: This is a changed version of IDoc &
  
  Cause
  This message occurs when an IDoc being processed has been modified after it was originally created or sent. Specifically, the system detects that the IDoc version currently being processed differs from the original version, indicating that the IDoc data has been changed manually or by some process after its initial creation.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Manual changes to the IDoc segments or fields in transaction WE02/WE05 or via function modules.
  Reprocessing or reimporting an IDoc that was altered.
  Changes in the IDoc structure or data due to custom developments or user exits.
  Transport or system copy inconsistencies where IDoc data was modified.
  
  
  Explanation
  SAP uses the IDoc control record and data records to track the state and content of an IDoc. When the system detects that the IDoc data has been changed compared to the original version (e.g., the data segment content or control record fields), it raises this message to warn the user or administrator that the IDoc is no longer in its original state.
  This is important because processing a changed IDoc might lead to inconsistent or unexpected results in the target system or application.
  
  Solution / How to Resolve
  
  
  Verify the Changes:
  
  Check the IDoc in transaction WE02 or WE05.
  Compare the current IDoc data with the original data or the expected data.
  Identify what changes were made and why.
  
  
  
  Avoid Manual Changes:
  
  If the IDoc was changed manually, try to avoid manual edits unless absolutely necessary.
  Instead, correct the source data or the process that generates the IDoc.
  
  
  
  Recreate the IDoc:
  
  If the IDoc is corrupted or incorrectly changed, consider deleting it and recreating it from the source system.
  Use the original transaction or process to generate a fresh IDoc.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code / User Exits:
  
  Review any user exits, BADIs, or custom programs that might modify the IDoc data.
  Ensure that modifications are done correctly and consistently.
  
  
  
  Use Standard Tools for Reprocessing:
  
  If reprocessing is needed, use standard SAP tools and transactions (e.g., BD87) to reprocess IDocs rather than manual changes.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Copy Checks:
  
  If the issue appeared after a system copy or transport, verify that the IDoc data and metadata are consistent.
  Re-import or regenerate IDocs if necessary.
