• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP706 - IDocs that have been changed exist ?

  The SAP error message WP706 - "IDocs that have been changed exist" typically occurs during the processing or reprocessing of IDocs (Intermediate Documents) in the SAP system.
  
  Cause:
  
  The error WP706 arises when you attempt to process or reprocess IDocs that have been modified but not yet saved or released properly.
  It indicates that there are IDocs in the system that have been changed (edited) but the changes have not been finalized or the IDocs are in an inconsistent state.
  This can happen if:
  
  IDocs were manually edited in transaction WE02/WE19 or other IDoc processing transactions but not saved correctly.
  There are IDocs in status 30 (IDoc ready for dispatch) or 64 (IDoc ready for transfer to application) that have been changed but not yet processed.
  The system detects that the IDoc data in the database does not match the expected state for processing.
  
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the status of the IDocs:
  
  Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display the IDocs.
  Look for IDocs with status 30, 64, or any status indicating they are ready for processing but have been changed.
  
  
  
  Revert or finalize changes:
  
  If the IDocs were manually changed, ensure that the changes are saved properly.
  If the changes are incorrect or incomplete, consider reverting the IDocs to their original state or deleting and recreating them if possible.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the IDocs:
  
  Use transaction BD87 to reprocess the IDocs.
  If the error persists, try to reset the status of the IDocs to a previous status (e.g., 30) using transaction WE19 or program RBDMANI2.
  
  
  
  Check for locks or inconsistencies:
  
  Sometimes, IDocs may be locked or partially processed.
  Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on IDoc tables (e.g., EDIDC, EDID4).
  Remove stale locks if necessary.
  
  
  
  Use standard SAP notes and documentation:
  
  Check SAP OSS notes related to WP706 for any specific patches or corrections.
  Example note: SAP Note 0000000 (replace with actual note number if available).
