Hi ravi,

1. If IDoc is in status 51, it means it was properly delivered to R/3. So you can now set a break-point in the respective IDoc handling function and reprocess the IDoc with BD87 (or report: RBDINPUT). Then debug the IDoc function and find where the error message is issued.

2.Inbound Status Codes

51 Error --> Application Document not posted

to debug Error 51do the following steps

goto WE19 - give the IDOC Number and Execute-

Press on Inbound function Module.

Hope this will help.

Rewards if helpful.

I think Michael have cleared the issue. Thanks Michael.

just check that and go ahead.

BR,

Alok

Hi Ravi,

the error is in your IDoc. You're sending <MTART>Finished Product</MTART>. You're using the description of the material type, but ALE expects the code. The error message displays Fini because the <MTART> has only 4 characters in ALE processing, the others are skipped. The solution is that you have to use the remote keys for <MTART>. This is a common behaviour of ALE/IDocs. If the data in ERP has value helps (like customizing tables, domain fixed values, and so on), the IDoc usually uses the codes instead of the texts. Just distribute a record having the Finished Product as material type from ERP and check the <MTART> in the IDoc. There you'll see the correct code.

Best Regards

Michael
