• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_IDOC002 - Structure &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message:
  WZRE_IDOC002 Structure &1 does not exist
  typically occurs during IDoc processing or development when the system cannot find the specified data structure.
  
  Cause
  
  The error indicates that the ABAP structure named &1 (where &1 is replaced by the actual structure name in the message) does not exist in the SAP Data Dictionary (DDIC).
  This usually happens when:
  
  The structure name is misspelled or incorrect.
  The structure has not been created or activated in the system.
  The IDoc type or segment definition references a structure that is missing.
  There is a mismatch between the IDoc segment definition and the underlying ABAP structure.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Structure Name:
  
  Verify the exact structure name mentioned in the error message.
  Go to transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) and search for the structure.
  If it does not exist, confirm if the name is correct or if it should be created.
  
  
  
  Create or Activate the Structure:
  
  If the structure is missing, create it in SE11 as per the required fields.
  If it exists but is inactive, activate it.
  
  
  
  Check IDoc Segment Definitions:
  
  Use transaction WE30 (IDoc Type Development) to check the segment definitions.
  Ensure that the segment is linked to the correct structure.
  If the segment references a non-existent structure, correct it.
  
  
  
  Check IDoc Type and Message Type:
  
  Use transaction WE31 to check segments.
  Use transaction WE82 to check message type to IDoc type assignment.
  Make sure all references are consistent.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If the structure exists in the development system but not in the target system, ensure proper transport of the structure and related objects.
  Check for missing transports or inconsistencies between systems.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the error occurs during runtime (e.g., IDoc processing), debug the program to see where the structure is called.
  Check for custom code or user exits that might reference the structure.

  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to IDoc errors and missing structures.
  Sometimes, SAP releases patches or corrections for IDoc metadata issues.
  
  
  
  IDoc Basics:
  
  IDocs are structured using segments, which are linked to ABAP structures.
  The system must find the corresponding structure to process or generate IDocs.
  
  
  
  
  Summary
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Details
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  ABAP structure referenced in IDoc segment does not exist or is inactive in DDIC.
  
  
  Solution
  Verify, create, or activate the structure in SE11; correct segment definitions in WE30.
  
  
  Check
  IDoc segments (WE31), IDoc types (WE30), message type assignments (WE82), transports.
  
  
  Tools
  SE11, WE30, WE31, WE82, WE19, debugging.
