- An IDoc with status &1 cannot be changed ?Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
SAP Error Message:
WZRE_IDOC016 - An IDoc with status &1 cannot be changed
Cause:
This error occurs when you attempt to modify an IDoc that is currently in a status which does not allow changes. In SAP, IDocs (Intermediate Documents) have specific statuses that indicate their processing stage. Some statuses are "locked" or "closed" states where the IDoc is considered processed or in a state that prohibits further modifications.
For example, if the IDoc status is 03 (Data passed to port OK), 12 (Dispatch OK), 53 (Application document posted), or any other status that indicates the IDoc has been processed or is in transit, SAP will prevent changes to maintain data integrity.
Common Statuses that Prevent Changes:
Attempting to change an IDoc in these statuses will trigger the error.
Check the IDoc status:
Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display the IDoc and verify its current status.
Understand the status meaning:
Refer to SAP documentation or transaction WE60 (IDoc documentation) to understand what the current status means.
Avoid changing processed IDocs:
If the IDoc is already processed (e.g., status 53), it should not be changed. Instead, if corrections are needed, consider:
If the IDoc is in an error status (e.g., 51 - Application document not posted):
You can reprocess the IDoc using transaction BD87 or by using the function module IDOC_INBOUND_PROCESS.
If you must change the IDoc for testing or correction:
Check authorization:
Ensure you have the necessary authorization to change or process IDocs.
Transaction Codes:
IDoc Status Overview:
SAP Note or documentation on IDoc status codes can be found in SAP Help or via transaction WE60.
