  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_IDOC018 - No IDoc created. No data selected. ?

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


    SAP Error Message:

    WZRE_IDOC018 No IDoc created. No data selected.


    Cause:

    This error occurs when the IDoc generation process is triggered, but no data is found or selected to create the IDoc. Essentially, the system tries to create an IDoc, but the underlying data selection step returns zero records.

    Common reasons include:

    • The selection criteria used for IDoc creation do not match any data in the source tables.
    • The relevant master data or transactional data required for the IDoc is missing or incomplete.
    • Incorrect or too restrictive filters in the IDoc generation program or report.
    • The data has already been processed or flagged as processed, so no new data is available for IDoc creation.
    • The partner profiles or message types are not correctly configured, leading to no data being picked up.

    Solution:

    1. Check Selection Criteria:
      Review the selection parameters used in the IDoc generation program or transaction. Loosen or adjust filters to ensure relevant data is included.

    2. Verify Data Availability:
      Confirm that the source data (e.g., sales orders, deliveries, master data) exists and is in the correct status for IDoc creation.

    3. Check Partner Profiles and Message Types:
      Ensure that the partner profiles (WE20) and message types are correctly configured and active for the intended data exchange.

    4. Review Processing Status:
      Check if the data has already been processed or flagged to prevent duplicate IDoc creation.

    5. Debug or Trace:
      If the above steps do not resolve the issue, enable debugging or trace the IDoc generation program to identify why no data is selected.

    6. Consult SAP Notes:
      Look for relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues with the specific IDoc type or message type.


    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • WE19 – Test tool for IDocs
      • WE02 / WE05 – IDoc display and monitoring
      • WE20 – Partner profiles
      • The specific program or report used for IDoc creation (varies by scenario)
    • Common Scenarios:
      This error is often seen in outbound IDoc processing for sales orders (ORDERS), deliveries (DELVRY), or master data distribution.

    • SAP Documentation:
      Refer to SAP Help Portal or SAP Notes for the specific IDoc type and message type you are working with.
