  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_IDOC013 - Field &1 not contained in structure &2 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WZRE_IDOC013 Field &1 not contained in structure &2


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs during IDoc processing or mapping when a field specified in the IDoc segment or mapping does not exist in the target structure or data dictionary structure. Essentially, the system is trying to access or map a field named &1 in a structure &2, but that field is not defined in the structure.

    Common causes include:

    • The IDoc segment definition or mapping references a field that was removed or renamed in the underlying structure.
    • Custom enhancements or user exits refer to fields that do not exist.
    • Incorrect or outdated metadata in the IDoc segment or data structure.
    • Mismatch between the IDoc segment definition and the actual data structure used in the program or mapping.

    Solution / How to Fix:

    1. Check the Field and Structure Names:

      • Identify the exact field name (&1) and structure (&2) from the error message.
      • Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the field exists in the structure.
    2. Verify IDoc Segment Definitions:

      • Use transaction WE30 to display the IDoc segment and verify the fields defined.
      • Check if the segment definition matches the structure used in the program or mapping.
    3. Check Mapping or User Exits:

      • If the error occurs during mapping (e.g., in a custom mapping program or function module), verify that the field names used correspond to the actual structure fields.
      • Review any user exits, BADIs, or enhancements that manipulate the IDoc data.
    4. Adjust the Structure or Mapping:

      • If the field is missing in the structure but required, add it to the structure (if possible).
      • If the field is obsolete or not needed, remove or correct the reference in the mapping or program.
    5. Regenerate or Re-import IDoc Metadata:

      • Sometimes, re-importing or regenerating the IDoc metadata can resolve inconsistencies.
    6. Check for Notes or Patches:

      • Search SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error message and apply relevant corrections.

      • Any mismatch between the IDoc segment definition and the actual data structure leads to such errors.

    Summary:

    Aspect Description
    Cause Field &1 is referenced but does not exist in structure &2 during IDoc processing or mapping.
