  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP722 - Date/time in IDoc & invalid for receipt & ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WP722 - Date/time in IDoc & invalid for receipt &


    Cause:

    This error occurs when the date and/or time fields in the IDoc (Intermediate Document) are not valid or not in the expected format during IDoc processing. The system checks the date/time values in the IDoc control record or data segments, and if these values are incorrect, missing, or outside acceptable ranges, it triggers this error.

    Common reasons include:

    • The date/time fields are empty or contain invalid characters.
    • The date/time format does not comply with SAP's expected format (usually YYYYMMDD for date and HHMMSS for time).
    • The date/time values are outside the valid range (e.g., a date in the future or too far in the past).
    • The IDoc was generated or modified incorrectly by an external system or middleware.

    Solution:

    1. Check the IDoc Data:

      • Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display the IDoc and verify the date/time fields in the control record and relevant segments.
      • Confirm that the date is in the format YYYYMMDD and the time is in HHMMSS.
      • Ensure the date/time values are valid calendar dates and times.
    2. Correct the Source System or Middleware:

      • If the IDoc is generated by an external system, verify that the date/time fields are populated correctly before sending the IDoc to SAP.
      • Adjust the mapping or interface logic to ensure proper date/time formatting.
    3. Reprocess the IDoc:

      • After correcting the date/time values, reprocess the IDoc using transaction BD87 or WE19 (test tool) to simulate inbound processing.
    4. Check SAP Notes and Documentation:

      • Sometimes, specific SAP Notes address known issues with date/time handling in IDocs for certain versions or modules.

    Related Information:

    • IDoc Control Record Fields:

      • SNDPRN (Sender Partner Number)
      • RCVPRN (Receiver Partner Number)
      • CREDAT (Creation Date)
      • CRETIM (Creation Time)
        The fields CREDAT and CRETIM must be valid.
    • Transactions:

      • WE02 / WE05: Display IDocs
      • BD87: Reprocess IDocs
      • WE19: Test tool for IDocs
    • SAP Notes:
      Search for SAP Notes related to WP722 or IDoc date/time errors in the SAP Support Portal.


    Summary:

    The WP722 error indicates invalid or incorrectly formatted date/time values in the IDoc. Verify and correct these values in the IDoc data or the sending system, then reprocess the IDoc to resolve the issue.
