• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_ALE_MONITOR2023 - IDoc &1: (Control record was changed) ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZRE_ALE_MONITOR2023 IDoc &1: (Control record was changed)
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the control record of an IDoc has been modified unexpectedly during ALE/IDoc processing. The control record contains metadata about the IDoc such as sender, receiver, message type, and status. If the control record is changed after the IDoc has been created or during processing, SAP detects this inconsistency and raises this error.
  Common causes include:
  
  Manual changes to the IDoc control record via transaction codes like WE02, WE19, or direct database updates.
  Inconsistent or incorrect ALE configuration causing the control record to be altered during IDoc distribution.
  Duplicate or conflicting processing of the same IDoc leading to control record changes.
  Custom user-exits or BADIs that modify the control record improperly.
  Transport or system copy issues where IDoc control records are not consistent.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check IDoc Processing:
  
  Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display the IDoc &1 (replace &1 with the actual IDoc number).
  Verify the control record fields (sender, receiver, message type, etc.) and check for any inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Avoid Manual Changes:
  
  Do not manually change the control record unless absolutely necessary.
  If changes are needed, ensure they are done before the IDoc is processed or reprocessed properly.
  
  
  
  Review ALE Configuration:
  
  Check partner profiles (transaction WE20) for correct settings.
  Verify that the distribution model (transaction BD64) is consistent and correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code:
  
  Review any user-exits, BADIs, or enhancements that might modify the control record.
  Ensure that these modifications are done correctly and do not cause inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Reprocess or Recreate the IDoc:
  
  If the IDoc is corrupted, consider reprocessing it or recreating the IDoc.
  Use transaction WE19 to test and simulate IDoc processing.
  
  
  
  System Consistency:
  
  If the issue occurs after a system copy or transport, check for inconsistencies in ALE configuration and IDoc metadata.
  Run ALE consistency checks (transaction BD87 for inbound processing, WE19 for testing).
