• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_LIST011 - Document types are different (&/&). Comparison only for document header ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WZRE_LIST011 - Document types are different (&/&). Comparison only for document header
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to perform a comparison or reconciliation between two accounting documents (or document lists) in SAP, and the system detects that the document types of the documents involved are different. The comparison logic in the program or transaction expects the documents to be of the same document type because the comparison is only valid at the document header level when document types match.
  In other words:  
  
  The system is trying to compare two documents, but their document types (e.g., KR, RE, SA, etc.) do not match.  
  Since document types define the nature and processing rules of documents, comparing different types directly is not allowed or meaningful in this context.
  
  
  When does this typically happen?
  
  During document comparison or reconciliation processes, such as in the SAP Financial Accounting (FI) module, especially when using tools or reports that compare accounting documents.  
  When using transaction codes or custom programs that perform document matching or validation.  
  In scenarios involving clearing, payment runs, or document verification where document types must be consistent.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Types:
  
  Verify the document types of the documents you are trying to compare. Ensure that both documents have the same document type.
  
  
  Filter or Select Correct Documents:
  
  Adjust your selection criteria or filters to include only documents of the same type for comparison.
  
  
  Review Business Process:
  
  Confirm that the business process or reconciliation logic you are applying is valid for the document types involved. If you need to compare different document types, you may need a different approach or tool.
  
  
  Customizing or Program Logic:
  
  If this error arises in a custom program or report, review the logic to handle or exclude documents with different document types before comparison.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any SAP Notes related to this message or the transaction/program you are using for any known issues or patches.
