  SAP Error Message:
  WP773 Receipt & in IDoc & contains an existing date &
  
  1. Cause:
  This error occurs during the processing of an IDoc (Intermediate Document) related to goods receipt or invoice receipt in SAP. The message indicates that the IDoc contains a receipt date that already exists in the system for the referenced document or transaction.
  In other words, the system is trying to post a goods receipt or invoice receipt with a date that has already been posted or recorded for the same document or material movement. This can happen due to:
  
  Duplicate IDoc processing.
  Reprocessing of an IDoc that was already successfully processed.
  Incorrect or inconsistent date data in the IDoc segments.
  Posting attempts with a receipt date that conflicts with existing document dates in SAP.
  
  
  2. Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check IDoc Status and History:
  
  Verify if the IDoc has already been processed successfully. If yes, avoid reprocessing it or use the appropriate transaction to reprocess only if necessary.
  
  
  Verify Receipt Date:
  
  Check the receipt date in the IDoc segment (usually in E1EDL24 or similar segments for delivery or goods receipt data). Compare it with the existing document dates in SAP to ensure no duplication.
  
  
  Correct the IDoc Data:
  
  If the date is incorrect or duplicated, correct the date in the source system or in the IDoc before reprocessing.
  
  
  Use Transaction WE02 / WE05:
  
  To analyze the IDoc and check the segments and data fields causing the issue.
  
  
  Check Material Document or Invoice Document:

  Avoid Duplicate Posting:
  
  If the IDoc is a duplicate, do not post it again. If necessary, delete or archive the duplicate IDoc.

  Sometimes, SAP provides notes or patches for specific IDoc processing issues. Check SAP Support Portal for notes related to WP773 or the specific IDoc type.
