Re-Processing inbound IDOC using WE02

Re-Processing inbound IDOC using WE02

Whenever posting an inbound IDOC results in error, the general tendency is to post the IDOC again by executing the posting application/program again or by correcting the errors and re-processing the IDOC using transaction WE19. Both these options would create a new IDOC in the system leaving the old IDOC useles.

There is a provision in SAP wherein we can re-process the same IDOC without creating any additional IDOC’s in the system. This can be achieved by using the transaction WE02. The below steps tell how to do it:

1.Open the IDOC in error in WE02 Transaction.

2.Expand the status records, and see which segment is in error.

3.     Double click on the page type iconadjacent to the error segment name, 

    as shown in the figure below.

4.     It will take you to the below screen, this shows which fields are filled for that particular segment.

5.     Go to change mode, this will show all the fields that exist in the segment whether filled or not.  

6.     Replace the error value with the correct value and click on the save button.

7.     Now go to transaction BD87, enter the IDOC number and click on execute.

8.     Now expand all the drop downs and click on the Process Button

9.     It will re-process the IDOC with the modified data and display the success message if there are no errors in the edited data.
