• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_INTRASTAT020 - Simulation; skip transfer of document &1,item &2 ?

  The SAP error message:
  WS_INTRASTAT020 Simulation; skip transfer of document &1, item &2
  Meaning / Cause:
  This message occurs during the Intrastat data simulation or transfer process. It indicates that the system is skipping the transfer of a particular document and item for Intrastat reporting because the document/item does not meet the criteria for Intrastat reporting or is flagged to be excluded.
  Common causes include:
  
  The document/item is not relevant for Intrastat reporting (e.g., non-intrastat relevant country, transaction type, or missing required data).
  The document/item is marked as a simulation or test document.
  The document/item does not have the necessary Intrastat fields filled (e.g., missing commodity code, statistical value, or transport mode).
  The document/item is excluded by user-defined filters or customizing settings in the Intrastat configuration.
  The document/item is already transferred or flagged to be skipped.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Intrastat Configuration:
  
  Verify the country settings and ensure the document's country is subject to Intrastat reporting.
  Check the customizing for Intrastat (transaction WEIS or S_ALR_87012103) to confirm the selection criteria and filters.
  
  
  
  Review Document Data:
  
  Ensure all mandatory Intrastat fields are correctly maintained on the document/item (e.g., commodity code, statistical value, transport mode, nature of transaction).
  Check if the document/item is marked as simulation or test and if so, exclude it from actual transfer.
  
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Verify if the document/item has already been transferred or flagged to be skipped.
  If necessary, reset the transfer status to allow re-transfer.
  
  
  
  Run Simulation with Detailed Logs:
  
  Run the Intrastat simulation with detailed logging to identify why the document/item is skipped.
  Use transaction WEIS or the relevant Intrastat report to simulate and analyze the output.
  
  
  
  Adjust Filters or User Exits:
  
  If custom filters or user exits are implemented, review them to ensure they are not incorrectly excluding documents/items.
