Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_ALE_MONITOR2006 - No. of sel. IDocs (&1) w. status NE &2 deviates from expected value (&3) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WZRE_ALE_MONITOR2006
  
  Text: No. of sel. IDocs (&1) w. status NE &2 deviates from expected value (&3)
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in the ALE (Application Link Enabling) monitoring process when the number of selected IDocs with status NE (IDocs ready to be processed) does not match the expected number.
  
  &1 = Number of selected IDocs with status NE
  &2 = Actual number of IDocs with status NE found
  &3 = Expected number of IDocs with status NE
  
  The system expects a certain number of IDocs in status NE, but the actual count deviates from this expected value. This discrepancy can be caused by:
  
  IDocs being processed or deleted between the selection and the check.
  Incorrect filtering or selection criteria in the monitoring tool.
  IDocs stuck in other statuses or not yet generated.
  ALE distribution errors or inconsistencies.
  Timing issues where the IDoc status changes during the monitoring run.
  
  
  Where does this occur?
  
  This message typically appears in the ALE Monitor (transaction WE02, WE05, or custom ALE monitoring tools).
  It can also appear in custom reports or programs that check IDoc statuses against expected values.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check IDoc Statuses:
  
  Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to list IDocs with status NE.
  Verify if the number of IDocs with status NE matches the expected number.
  Check if some IDocs have moved to other statuses (e.g., 03 - Data passed to port, 12 - Dispatch OK).
  
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria:
  
  Ensure that the selection criteria used in the monitoring or report are correct and consistent.
  Check if any filters exclude some IDocs unintentionally.
  
  
  
  Investigate ALE Distribution:
  
  Check if there are any errors in ALE distribution (transaction BD87 for reprocessing IDocs).
  Look for any communication errors or partner profile issues (transaction WE20).
  
  
  
  Timing and Synchronization:
  
  If the monitoring is done in a batch or automated job, consider that IDoc statuses might change during the run.
  Try running the check manually or with a short time interval to avoid timing issues.
  
  
  
  Reprocess or Resend IDocs:
  
  If IDocs are stuck or missing, consider reprocessing them using BD87 or resending the data.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If this message appears in a custom program, review the logic that calculates expected vs actual IDoc counts.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  IDoc Status NE: This status means the IDoc is created and ready for processing but not yet processed.
  ALE Monitoring: ALE monitors the distribution and processing of IDocs between systems.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  WE02 / WE05: Display IDocs
  BD87: Reprocess IDocs
  WE20: Partner profiles
  SM58: Check for tRFC errors related to IDoc processing
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Details
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  Number of IDocs with status NE differs from expected due to processing, filtering, or timing issues.
  
  
  Solution
  Verify IDoc statuses, check selection criteria, investigate ALE errors, reprocess IDocs if needed.
