Qualifier missing in Inbound Orders IDOC

[former_member623826]

Hello All,

Sales order is being created from an Inbound ORDERS Idoc. We have created a new material (variant config based, as other materials).

In the Inbound IDOC, the segment E1EDP19- Qualifier 002 is missing. Due to this, IDOC is failing with error "The material number for item 0010 could not be identified". Can you please let me know why this segment could be missing from the IDOC?

Regards,

Abhinav

Hello Abhinav,

Have you maintained/mapped your material and customer material code information in VD51 (Customer material info record)?

This would be the probable reason, that material number cannot be identified.

Please check and if missing, please maintain information in VD51.

Hello Abhinav,

You can check the Idoc contents with Transaction WE02 and check if anything is filled in the Qualifier segment for E1EDP19.

I am sure you also know howto re-process the idoc with Transaction WE19 / BD87.

Regarding the question - "Why the segment could be missing from the Idoc", since it is an inbound Idoc, you need to check with sender or middleware systems for possible issues. Since it is a new material probably, the sender is not informed of the specific details to be included or middleware systems are not prepare to receive message for the new material.

Thanks,

Thanks Jignesh for your answer.

Yes, I know We19 and I Can reprocess using it. But this is an automated solution and is working for other materials. we can not manually handle so many IDOCs daily.

As of now for the failed IDOC, Qualifier 001 is filled for E1EDP19. For successful cases, both 001 and 002 are present.

We are not receiving the IDOC data from any external system. A Purchase order is created in SAP and from the Purchase order Output, an Outbound ORDERS Idoc is created. Even in this Outbound IDOC the segment E1EDP19-002 is missing. From the Outbound ORDERS Idoc, an Inbound ORDERS Idoc is created.

So effectively, both Outbound and Inbound ORDERS Idoc have missing 002 Qualifier.

Hope I have been able to give required information.

Hello Abhinav,

Since this is happening only for the newly created Material and we are not aware of what is mapped to Qualifier 002 in your system, I believe it would be best to work with you ABAP consultant and debug the Idoc generation.

One debug analysis with a successful idoc and failed idoc will lead you to root cause of the missing Qualifier 002.

Thanks,
