Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_ALE_MONITOR2040 - Segment &1 (type &2) is mandantory. Deletion is not allowed. ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WZRE_ALE_MONITOR2040 Segment &1 (type &2) is mandatory. Deletion is not allowed.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during ALE (Application Link Enabling) or IDoc processing when a mandatory segment in an IDoc is missing or has been attempted to be deleted. The system expects a particular segment (identified by &1) of a specific type (&2) to be present in the IDoc structure because it is defined as mandatory in the IDoc segment definition.
  
  Segment &1: The name of the segment that is mandatory.
  Type &2: The type of the segment (e.g., E1EDK01, E1EDP01, etc.).
  The error indicates that this segment cannot be deleted or omitted because it is required for the IDoc to be valid.
  
  This usually happens if:
  
  The IDoc is being manually edited or processed by a custom program that deletes or omits mandatory segments.
  There is a configuration or mapping error in the ALE/IDoc processing where mandatory segments are not populated.
  The inbound or outbound processing logic is incorrect or incomplete.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the IDoc Structure:
  
  Use transaction WE30 to check the IDoc type and verify which segments are mandatory.
  Confirm that the segment &1 of type &2 is indeed mandatory.
  
  
  
  Review the IDoc Data:
  
  Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display the IDoc and check if the mandatory segment is missing or deleted.
  If missing, investigate why the segment is not being populated.
  
  
  
  Check the ALE/IDoc Processing Logic:
  
  If you have custom code or user exits/BADIs that manipulate IDocs, verify that they do not delete or omit mandatory segments.
  Correct the logic to ensure mandatory segments are always included.
  
  
  
  Mapping and Partner Profile:
  
  Check the partner profiles (transaction WE20) and the message type configuration.
  Ensure that the mapping (if using SAP PI/PO or other middleware) correctly populates mandatory segments.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the IDoc:
  
  After correcting the issue, reprocess the IDoc using BD87 or manually trigger the inbound/outbound processing.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to the specific IDoc type and error message for any known issues or patches.

  Transaction Codes:

  WE02 / WE05 - IDoc Display
  WE20 - Partner Profiles
  BD87 - IDoc Reprocessing
  
  
  
  IDoc Segments:
  
  Mandatory segments are defined in the IDoc type and must be present for successful processing.
  Deleting or omitting mandatory segments leads to errors like WZRE_ALE_MONITOR2040.
  
  
  
  ALE/IDoc Processing:
  
  ALE uses IDocs to transfer data between SAP systems.
  Proper configuration and data consistency are critical.
