• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_INTRASTAT016 - No relevant document found for given selection criteria for partner & ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WS_INTRASTAT016 No relevant document found for given selection criteria for partner &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the Intrastat report or related transaction is executed with selection criteria that do not match any existing documents for the specified partner. In other words, SAP cannot find any relevant sales or purchase documents (such as deliveries, invoices, or goods movements) that meet the criteria you have entered for the partner in question.
  Common reasons include:  
  
  The partner number entered does not have any Intrastat-relevant documents in the selected period.  
  The selection criteria (date range, document type, movement type, etc.) are too restrictive or incorrect.  
  The partner is not flagged or maintained correctly for Intrastat reporting.  
  The documents exist but are not yet posted or are incomplete for Intrastat purposes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:  
  
  Verify the partner number is correct and active.  
  Broaden the date range or other filters to ensure documents are included.  
  Confirm that the document types and movement types selected are relevant for Intrastat.
  
  
  
  Verify Partner Master Data:  
  
  Ensure the partner is maintained correctly in the system with the necessary Intrastat-related data (e.g., VAT registration number, country, etc.).  
  Check if the partner is flagged for Intrastat reporting in the business partner or vendor/customer master.
  
  
  
  Check Document Posting:  
  
  Confirm that the relevant documents (invoices, deliveries, goods movements) are posted and not parked or blocked.  
  Ensure that the documents have the necessary Intrastat-relevant fields filled (e.g., commodity codes, transaction codes).
  
  
  
  Run Intrastat Report with Adjusted Criteria:  
  
  Try running the Intrastat report without specifying the partner to see if any documents appear.  
  If documents appear without the partner filter, the issue is likely with the partner data or selection.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes and Documentation:  
  
  Check for any SAP Notes related to Intrastat reporting and this specific error message.  
  Review SAP Help Portal documentation on Intrastat setup and reporting.
