Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_ALE_MONITOR2041 - New IDoc &1 was copied from IDoc &2 (Segment &3 was deleted) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WZRE_ALE_MONITOR2041
  
  Text: New IDoc &1 was copied from IDoc &2 (Segment &3 was deleted)
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This message occurs during the processing or monitoring of IDocs in ALE (Application Link Enabling) when a new IDoc (&1) is created by copying an existing IDoc (&2). However, during this copying process, a particular segment (&3) that existed in the original IDoc (&2) was deleted or omitted in the new IDoc (&1).
  Why does this happen?  
  
  The IDoc structure might have changed between the two IDocs (e.g., due to different message types or versions).  
  The segment &3 is not relevant or not needed in the new IDoc.  
  The system or a custom program intentionally deletes the segment during copying to tailor the IDoc for a specific purpose.  
  It can also happen if the IDoc is being filtered or transformed during ALE distribution or processing.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During ALE monitoring or IDoc processing, especially when IDocs are copied or reprocessed.  
  When IDocs are generated or modified by custom code or standard SAP functions that copy IDocs but remove certain segments.  
  During IDoc reprocessing or forwarding scenarios.
  
  
  Impact:
  
  This is generally an informational or warning message rather than an error that stops processing.  
  It indicates that the new IDoc is not an exact copy of the old one, which might be expected behavior.  
  However, if the deleted segment is required for downstream processing, it could cause issues.
  
  
  Solution / How to handle:
  
  
  Check if the deletion of the segment is expected:  
  
  Review the business process or custom code that copies the IDoc.  
  Confirm whether the segment &3 is intentionally removed.  
  If yes, no action is needed; the message can be considered informational.
  
  
  
  If the segment should not be deleted:  
  
  Investigate the logic that copies the IDoc and removes the segment.  
  Adjust the code or configuration to ensure the segment is retained if required.
  
  
  
  Verify IDoc versions and message types:  
  
  Ensure that the IDoc types and versions used are consistent and compatible.  
  Sometimes, segment deletion happens due to version mismatches.
  
  
  
  Check ALE configuration and filters:  
  
  ALE distribution model might have filters that exclude certain segments.  
  Adjust filters if necessary.
  
  
  
  Monitor downstream processing:  
  
  Ensure that the absence of the segment does not cause errors in receiving systems or processes.
