  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP702 - IDoc & changed ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message WP702 IDoc & changed:


    SAP Error Message: WP702 IDoc & changed


    1. Cause

    The error message WP702 typically occurs during the processing of an IDoc (Intermediate Document) related to Work Process (WP) or Workflow processing. The message text usually reads something like:

    WP702 IDoc & changed

    This indicates that the IDoc being processed has been changed or modified unexpectedly during processing. The system detects that the IDoc data has been altered after it was initially read or before it was processed, which can cause inconsistencies or errors in the workflow or data transfer.

    Common causes include:

    • The IDoc data was manually changed or edited after it was created.
    • The IDoc was reprocessed or modified by a user or program.
    • There is a mismatch between the IDoc status and the actual data content.
    • A program or user exit modified the IDoc data incorrectly.
    • Transport or system inconsistencies causing IDoc data corruption.
    • Multiple parallel processes trying to update the same IDoc simultaneously.

    2. Solution

    To resolve the WP702 error, consider the following steps:

    • Check IDoc Status and Data Consistency:

      • Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display the IDoc and verify its segments and data.
      • Confirm that the IDoc data matches the expected structure and content.
    • Avoid Manual Changes:

      • Do not manually edit IDocs unless absolutely necessary.
      • If changes are needed, use proper tools or reprocess the IDoc from the source system.
    • Reprocess the IDoc:

      • If the IDoc is in an error status, try reprocessing it using transaction BD87.
      • Ensure that no other process is modifying the IDoc simultaneously.
    • Check User Exits or Enhancements:

      • Review any user exits, BADIs, or enhancements that might be modifying the IDoc data during processing.
      • Debug or log these to ensure they do not corrupt the IDoc.
    • System Consistency Checks:

      • Run consistency checks on the IDoc database tables (e.g., EDIDC, EDID4).
      • If corruption is found, consider re-importing or recreating the IDoc.
    • Transport and System Issues:

      • If the IDoc was transported between systems, verify that the transport was successful and no data was lost or changed.
      • Check for any system patches or notes related to IDoc processing.

    3. Related Information

      • WE02 / WE05 — Display IDocs
