• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_LIST008 - Comparison is not possible. Document & does not exist in remote system ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZRE_LIST008 Comparison is not possible. Document & does not exist in remote system
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the comparison or reconciliation process between documents in a distributed SAP environment (such as ALE, IDoc processing, or cross-system document comparison). The system tries to compare a document (e.g., a purchase order, invoice, or any transactional document) with its counterpart in a remote system, but the document does not exist in the remote system.
  Typical scenarios include:
  
  The document was never created or replicated in the remote system.
  The document was deleted or archived in the remote system.
  Network or communication issues caused incomplete data transfer.
  Incorrect document number or system ID used for comparison.
  The remote system is not synchronized or has inconsistent master data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Document Existence:
  
  Check if the document number mentioned in the error actually exists in the remote system.
  Use transaction codes like VA03 (Sales Order), ME23N (Purchase Order), or relevant transaction in the remote system to confirm.
  
  
  
  Check ALE/IDoc Status:
  
  If the document is supposed to be replicated via ALE/IDoc, check the IDoc status in both sender and receiver systems (WE02, WE05).
  Look for errors or incomplete processing in the IDoc chain.
  
  
  
  Resend or Reprocess Document:
  
  If the document is missing in the remote system, resend the document or trigger replication again.
  Use transaction BD87 to reprocess failed IDocs.
  
  
  
  Check System Connectivity:
  
  Ensure that the RFC connections between the systems are active and working (SM59).
  Test the connection to the remote system.
  
  
  
  Synchronization:
  
  Synchronize master data and customizing settings between systems to avoid inconsistencies.
  Run relevant synchronization programs if available.
  
  
  
  Correct Document Number:
  
  Verify that the document number used for comparison is correct and corresponds to the remote system's document.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs and Traces:
  
  Check application logs (SLG1) for more detailed error messages.
  Review system traces (ST22, SM21) for related dumps or errors.
