    Certainly! Here's detailed information about the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WSTI_MLT_INV_DOC002
    Text: The item No &1 and line No &2 could not be found.


    Cause:

    This error typically occurs during the processing of inbound IDocs (Intermediate Documents) in SAP, especially when dealing with multi-level invoice documents or related document structures. The system is trying to reference an item number and line number in the IDoc or related document, but it cannot find the specified item or line.

    Common causes include:

    • The referenced item number (&1) and line number (&2) do not exist in the document or IDoc being processed.
    • Data inconsistency or missing data in the IDoc segments.
    • Incorrect or incomplete mapping of IDoc segments to SAP document fields.
    • The document structure expected by the system does not match the actual data (e.g., missing child items or sub-items).
    • The document has been partially processed or deleted, causing references to invalid items.

    Solution:

    To resolve this error, consider the following steps:

    1. Check the IDoc Data:

      • Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display the IDoc.
      • Verify that the item number (&1) and line number (&2) exist in the IDoc segments.
      • Check for missing or incorrect segment data related to the item and line.
    2. Verify Document Structure:

      • Ensure that the document structure in the IDoc matches the expected structure in SAP.
      • Confirm that all required child items or sub-items are present.
    3. Check Custom Mapping or Enhancements:

      • If there are user exits, BADIs, or custom mappings involved in IDoc processing, verify that they correctly handle item and line numbers.
      • Debug the processing function module (e.g., in the IDoc inbound processing) to see where the item/line lookup fails.
    4. Reprocess or Correct the IDoc:

      • If the IDoc data is incorrect, correct the source data and regenerate the IDoc.
      • If the IDoc is stuck, consider reprocessing it after correction.
    5. Check for Document Deletion or Partial Processing:

      • Verify if the referenced document or items have been deleted or partially processed.
      • If so, adjust the process or recreate the document as needed.
    6. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Search for SAP Notes related to this error message or the specific IDoc type you are processing.
      • SAP Notes may provide patches or detailed instructions for known issues.
