    SAP Error Message:

    WP708 - IDoc & not defined for inbound processing


    Cause:

    This error occurs when an IDoc (Intermediate Document) of a particular message type and basic type is received by the SAP system, but there is no inbound processing function module or partner profile defined for it. In other words, the system does not know how to process the incoming IDoc because the configuration for inbound processing is missing or incomplete.

    Common reasons include:

    • The inbound partner profile for the sender/receiver is not maintained.
    • The inbound process code is not assigned to the message type.
    • The inbound function module is not assigned or does not exist.
    • The message type or basic type is not configured for inbound processing.

    Solution:

    To resolve the WP708 error, follow these steps:

    1. Check Partner Profile Configuration:

      • Go to transaction WE20.
      • Select the relevant partner type (e.g., LS for logical system).
      • Check the inbound parameters for the partner.
      • Ensure that the message type of the incoming IDoc is maintained.
      • Verify that the inbound process code is assigned.
    2. Verify Process Code and Function Module:

      • Go to transaction WE42.
      • Check the process code assigned to the message type.
      • Ensure that the process code points to a valid inbound function module.
    3. Check Message Type and Basic Type:

      • Go to transaction WE81 to verify the message type.
      • Go to transaction WE30 to check the basic type of the IDoc.
      • Confirm that the message type and basic type are correctly linked.
    4. Maintain Inbound Processing:

      • If missing, create or assign the appropriate inbound process code and function module.
      • If a custom function module is needed, develop and register it accordingly.
    5. Test the IDoc Processing:

      • Use transaction WE19 to test inbound processing.
      • Reprocess the IDoc using BD87 after corrections.

      • If you are dealing with a custom message type or IDoc, ensure all configurations are properly maintained.
