  SAP Error Message:
  WZRE_SERVICES027
  
  Text: Target document: Reference number does not equal &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during document processing (often in financial or logistics modules) when the system expects the reference number of the target document to match a specific value, but it finds a discrepancy. The reference number in the target document does not equal the expected reference number (&1 is a placeholder for the expected value).
  Common scenarios include:
  
  When posting a clearing document or a payment, the reference number on the target document (e.g., invoice, credit memo) does not match the reference number provided or expected in the transaction.
  During document flow validation, the system checks consistency between related documents and finds mismatched reference numbers.
  Custom validations or user-exits/enhancements that enforce strict matching of reference numbers.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Reference Numbers:
  
  Verify the reference number on the target document.
  Compare it with the reference number you are trying to use or the one expected by the system.
  Ensure that the reference number entered in the transaction matches the reference number on the target document.
  
  
  
  Correct the Reference Number:
  
  If you have entered the wrong reference number, correct it to match the target document.
  If the target document has an incorrect reference number, consider correcting it if possible (e.g., via document reversal and reposting).
  
  
  
  Review Document Flow:
  
  Check the document flow to ensure that the documents are correctly linked.
  Use transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) and FB04 (Document Flow) to analyze the documents involved.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If your system has custom validations or user-exits that enforce reference number matching, review the logic.
  Adjust the custom code if the business process has changed or if the validation is too strict.
