  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_IDOC017 - Structure &1 is not compatible with E1BPPAREX ?

    The SAP error message:

    WZRE_IDOC017 Structure &1 is not compatible with E1BPPAREX

    typically occurs during IDoc processing, indicating a mismatch between the expected and actual data structure.


    Cause

    • The IDoc segment structure being processed does not match the expected structure E1BPPAREX.
    • This usually happens when the IDoc segment definition in the system (e.g., in the IDoc type or segment definition) differs from the structure expected by the processing function module or the interface.
    • Possible reasons:
      • Custom or standard IDoc segment has been changed or extended incorrectly.
      • The IDoc segment name or structure (&1 in the message is the actual segment name causing the issue) is not compatible with the expected segment E1BPPAREX.
      • Mismatch between the IDoc version or message type and the processing logic.
      • Incorrect or missing segment mapping in the interface or ALE configuration.

    Solution

    1. Check the segment name &1:

      • Identify the actual segment name replacing &1 in the error message.
      • Compare the segment structure of this segment with the standard E1BPPAREX segment.
    2. Verify IDoc segment definitions:

      • Use transaction WE30 to display the segment definitions.
      • Check if the segment &1 is defined correctly and matches the expected structure of E1BPPAREX.
    3. Check IDoc type and message type:

      • Use transaction WE82 to verify the message type and associated IDoc type.
      • Ensure the IDoc type used supports the segment E1BPPAREX or the segment &1.
    4. Check the processing function module:

      • The error often occurs in the function module processing the IDoc.
      • Check the function module (e.g., in the process code) that processes the segment.
      • Ensure the segment structure expected in the function module matches the IDoc segment.
    5. Adjust or correct the segment structure:

      • If a custom segment was created or modified, ensure it is compatible with E1BPPAREX.
      • If necessary, recreate or adjust the segment definition to match the expected structure.
    6. Regenerate or re-import IDoc metadata:

      • If the IDoc metadata is outdated or corrupted, regenerate or re-import the IDoc type and segments.
    7. Check for OSS Notes:

      • Search SAP OSS Notes for this error message and your specific IDoc/message type.
      • Sometimes SAP provides patches or corrections for known issues.

      • WE60 - IDoc Documentation
      • WE82 - Assign Message Type to IDoc Type
      • WE19 - Test tool for IDocs
    • IDoc Segment E1BPPAREX:

      • This segment is typically used in Purchase Order (PO) related IDocs (e.g., ORDERS05).
      • It is an extension segment used to pass additional partner or parameter data.
    • Common scenarios:

      • When extending standard IDocs with custom segments, ensure the extensions are consistent.
      • When upgrading or applying support packages, verify that IDoc definitions are consistent.
