  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZRE_ALE_MONITOR2037 – External status records were added
  
  Meaning / Cause
  This message typically appears in the context of ALE (Application Link Enabling) monitoring, specifically when monitoring status records related to IDocs (Intermediate Documents).
  
  The message "External status records were added" indicates that new status records have been received from an external system and have been added to the status table in the SAP system.
  It is an informational or warning message rather than an error, signaling that the system has recorded status updates coming from outside (e.g., from a partner system or another SAP system).
  These external status records usually represent the processing status of IDocs in the partner system or the receiving system.
  The message is generated by the ALE monitor (transaction WE02, WE05, or WE19) or during status record processing in the IDoc status management.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When an IDoc status update is received from an external system via ALE.
  When the system processes inbound status records that are not generated internally but come from partner systems.
  During monitoring or processing of IDoc status records, especially in distributed environments.
  
  
  Solution / Action
  
  No corrective action is usually required if this message is informational.
  Check the IDoc status records in transactions WE02 or WE05 to verify the status of the IDocs.
  If you are troubleshooting IDoc processing issues, use this message as an indication that the external system has sent status updates.
  If you are expecting status updates and this message appears, it confirms that the external system is communicating status correctly.
  If you see unexpected or erroneous status records, investigate the partner system or ALE configuration.
  Ensure that the partner profiles and ALE configuration are correct to avoid inconsistent or unexpected status records.
