Regarding EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (segment cannot be identified)

Hi,
My requirement is that I was adding two diffrent field values under two diffrent segments as "E1EDKA1" and "E1EDK02" in outbound invoice IDOCS, INVOIC02 (process code: SD09 - IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC).
I am getting the IDOC number through Tcode "VF02". Can any body give me idea how to check that syntax error in debug mode.
Please find the following error details using TCODE "WE02".
*EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (segment cannot be identified)*
*Message no. E0 078*
*Diagnosis*
*The segment E1EDKA1 does not occur at the current level of the basic type INVOIC02 (extension ).*
*This error can have several reasons:*
*The segment E1EDKA1 is assigned to a group whose header segment does not occur.*
*The segment E1EDKA1 does not exist in the syntax description of the basic type INVOIC02 (extension ).*
*The sequence of segments in the group in which the segment appears is incorrect.*
*Previous errors ('mandatory' segment or group missing) may be due to this error.*
Please help me to resolve this problem. <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Regards,
Skumar.

It seems that you added segment E1EDKA1 at a place where it is not supposed to be. That's where this error is coming from. The structure of every IDOC is definded by SAP standard and you cannot change the sequence or the level of standard segments. If you require a certain field at a certain level you have to add that field to a Z-segment and then add that Z-segment where appropriate in your extension.
Hope that helps,
Michael

Idoc Error - EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (segment cannot be identified)

Hi All,
have created a new reduced message type for our new vendor A/C group through BD53. Also done reqd config for sending the vendor master through this message type. .
I have created couple of vendors for testing with X01 with withholding tax functionality and when try to send these vendors , Idocs are getting failed .
When I create vendor without withholding tax functionality , idoc is getting posted succesfully . If create vendor with entries in the feild whih are related to withholding tax . Idocs are getting failed .
If I see the status in WE05 ,Idocs which are posted succefully are showing the basic type as CREMAS03 . For idocs which are getting failed have the basic type as CREMAS04 and also the extension as Z1CREMAS . I don`t understand why the system is defaulting CREMA04 & Z1CREMAS when I send the vendor master with withholding tax feild entries.
I am not much familiar with ALE /Idoc set up. Please can any body help me to resolve the issue.
The error message in we05 as below
EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (segment cannot be identified)
Message no. E0078
Diagnosis
The segment Z1LFA1M does not occur at the current level of the basic type CREMAS04 (extension Z1CREMAS).
This error can have several reasons:
The segment Z1LFA1M is assigned to a group whose header segment does not occur.
The segment Z1LFA1M does not exist in the syntax description of the basic type CREMAS04 (extension Z1CREMAS).
The sequence of segments in the group in which the segment appears is incorrect.
Previous errors ('mandatory' segment or group missing) may be due to this error.
Procedure
Please check the IDoc or the syntax description of the basic type CREMAS04 (extension Z1CREMAS).
Thanks

Hi,
I don`t understand what do you mean release after adding segment.
Message type works i.e. Idoc get posted if I send with the vendor w/o withholding tax field entries. Idoc fails when send vendor with withholding tax field entry.

IDOC Status 26: EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (segment cannot be identified).

Hi All,
I have created IDOC extension for IDOC Basic type "PROACT01" and have followed all required necessary steps but getting IDOC
Status 26. EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (segment cannot be identified). The exact error is:
Please check Error Details and the details of the steps I followed for Setting up IDOC Extension:
Error Detail :
EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (segment cannot be identified)
Message no. E0078
Diagnosis
The segment ZPROSEG does not occur at the current level of the basic type PROACT01 (extension PROACTEX).
This error can have several reasons:
The segment ZPROSEG is assigned to a group whose header segment does not occur.
The segment ZPROSEG does not exist in the syntax description of the basic type PROACT01 (extension PROACTEX).
The sequence of segments in the group in which the segment appears is incorrect.
Previous errors ('mandatory' segment or group missing) may be due to this error.
Procedure
Please check the IDoc or the syntax description of the basic type PROACT01 (extension PROACTEX).
Can you please look at this problem and suggest what is wrong with IDOC Extension/Custome Segment?
Below is the Details of the Steps which I have followed:
1. Tcode WE31 - Created new custom Segment ZPROSEG with 4 fields. Released segment.
2. TCode WE30 - Created IDOC Extension PROACTEX for Basic Type PROACT01. Released IDOC extension.
Here when I run syntax check warning appears "No predecessors exist". I am not sure if its okay!!
3. TCode WE82 - Added Extension PROACTEX in the Message Type PROACT with BASIC Type PROACT01.
4. TCode WE20 - Added IDOC Extension PROACTEX in the predefined partner profile in WE20 transaction.
5. Added the following code in the Customer Exit EXIT_SAPLWVMI_001 include ZXWVMIU01 .
DATA segnam(27).
READ TABLE dedidd WITH KEY segnam = 'ZPROSEG'.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
LOOP AT dedidd WHERE segnam = 'E1EDP31'.
CLEAR dedidd.
dedidd-segnam = 'ZPROSEG'.
zproseg-matnr = 'Mat1'.
zproseg-lgort = '001'.
zproseg-gernr = 'SNo1'.
zproseg-labst = 2.
dedidd-sdata = zproseg.
APPEND dedidd.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
Finally ran transaction WVM2 (Transfer of Stock & Sales Data) to generate IDOC, its creating IDOC but when checked IDOC in WE05 its getting Status Error "26".
Looking forward for your reply.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello,
Actually you are appending the Z segment instead of inserting into the correct position. So the segment is added at the last, so hierarchy of segments is collapsed.
So get the index of the previous segment E1EDP31 and increase the index by 1 and INSERT the Z segment with that new index as below.
LOOP AT dedidd WHERE segnam = 'E1EDP31'.
lv_index = sy-tabix. " <<--
ADD 1 TO lv_index. " <<--
CLEAR dedidd.
dedidd-segnam = 'ZPROSEG'.
zproseg-matnr = 'Mat1'.
zproseg-lgort = '001'.
zproseg-gernr = 'SNo1'.
zproseg-labst = 2.
dedidd-sdata = zproseg.
*APPEND dedidd.
INSERT dedidd INDEX lv_index. " <<---
ENDLOOP.
Here actually we are insering the record inside the LOOP and it regenerates the index again. It is not actually a good practice.
So the best practice is get the index and generate the segment inside the loop, store them into another internal table, come out the loop and insert the Z segments into DEDIDD by looping the new internal table.

Hi,
Is this standard program or custom program?
you might be appending the Z segment instead of inserting it. Always best practice is get the index of the segment and instert it.
If all the data is not populated then segment position will change incase of appending. Please check your code and revert back.

Hi,
   You cannot add an segment in the middle of other segments.
YOu have to add any segment at the last.
If you want to add a segment as the child of another segment, it should be added after the last child of the parent segment.
In you case, you have to add your segment after the E1CUCFG segment.(NOt under that segement)

EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (mandatory group/segment missing)

hi EDI/IDoc experts,
Need you help urgently. According to the requirement, i need populate a segement E1IDT01 of basic type PEXR2002 . I added the code , then run and generate an idoc , the new segment
E1IDT01 was populated, but Syntax error 26 happend. Error message as below.   It also strange that i can see E1IDKU5 populate out as usual, but some others segment disappeared , i am sure that in my code ,i didn't changed any variable related to other segement . how can i fix this problem?

Hi all,
Thanks so much for your concern!
Finally ,this problem has been figured out .
Requirement is user want to use segment E1IDT01 in idoc to populate the long text they maintained in accounting document vendor item line (use FB01 to create accounting doc).
Why I made out " EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (mandatory group/segment missing)" this message out ,because I didn't fill data correctly. I missed to keep SY-TABIX in momory .
when we use Function module ,or do..enddo...or read table it_table. we should be careful that SY-TABIX is changed .So we can't just use MODIFY EDIDD_TABLE INDEX SY-TABIX in the last . we should define a local variable to keep SY-TABIX in memory and then use it to modify EDIDD_TABLE.
Follow is the final code.
IF SEGMENT_NAME = 'E1IDT01'.
TABLES :STXL.
* Define for long text getting

EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (mandatory segment missing)

HI all,

Please help me how to solve this issue?

Hi,
This error normally comes up when the sequence of segments has been disturbed.
For successfully posting an IDOC you need to maintain the sequence of the segments as in WE30.
You can also check which segments are mandatory in WE30 by clicking on the segment name and the pop up that comes.

EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (too many repetitions of a segment)

Hi All -
We are getting an "EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (too many repetitions of a segment)" error message while processing the REMADV message in the payment run program.
Basic Type : PEXR2002
Message Type : REMADV
Segment Name : E1EDP02
This issue is due to BELNR length in above segment, since payment run program assigning the 45 chars but BELNR length is 35 char, is there any way or OSS notes we can implement to rectify the same.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
This error is the segment definition violation. Open your BASIC IDOC type in WE30, double click on the segment TESTIDOC.
In the popup you can see properties like mandatory segment, Minimum number and Max number. Your IDOC is crossing the max number of repetitions it can have. If any of the segment definition perperties like this one, or improper position of the segment etc occurs IDOC is generated with syntax error.
Thanks,

Hi,
While passing the idoc data, you are not passing the mandatory segment and passing the child segment. Try to add the data for the mandatory segment.
Check and find the mandatory segments on the IDoc through WE30 .And check if all this segments are populated in the IDoc which failed ( WE02).

Syntax error in IDoc segment

Hi,
when I make a syntax check on my Idoc segment '/FIT/E1FISFIINV' I get the error message:
Entries for segment '/FIT/E1FISFIINV' missing in the 'Segment structures' table.
I can't delete the segment type as I get the error message Segment /FIT/E1FISFIINV does not exist yet when I try it.
But I also can't create the segment type as I get the error message Structure /FIT/E1FISFIINV already exists
I already looke in the tables EDISDEF and EDISEGMENT to check that the entries for the segement /FIT/E1FISFIINV do exist in these tables.
Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem?
Thank you.

IDOC extension (segment cannot be identified)

Hi all,
I have IDOC DEBMAS configured, but when I trigger 1 customer from BD12, the IDOC is failing with status 26 error segment cannot be identified.
In WE82, we have the following:
DEBMAS DEBMAS06 470
DEBMAS DEBMAS06 ZDEBMAS06 470
I only need the standard structure without extension but we have one interface using the same IDOC with extension.
In the partner profile(WE20), i set DEBMAS in the message type, DEBMAS06 in the basic type, and blank in the extension.
What could be missing in the configuration?

Strangely, the control record is blank. I looked at the XSLT program, it is coded that way. I do not understand the reason. Is the error pointing to the control record?

Did anyone come across this error? Whats wrong/missing?
I appreciate ur inputs.
thx in adv

Moorthy,
I tried reloading the IDOC metadata from IDX2. Still I get the same error.
Regd, IDOC w/o control record, can u elaborate on "dynamic value while posting IDOCs". From where, XI message SOAP header with Business System replaced by corresponding logical system names?

Syntax error in IDOC process

Hi,
We are getting syntax error in ORDERS01 IDOC. I have checked the E1EDP19 segment's maximum occurence is 5 which is a child segment of E1EDP01.
But the my outbound IDOC had more than 5 occurences in the segment E1EDP19.
It look to me that because of this we are getting syntax error. Please correct me If I'm wrong.
How can I change the maximum occurence value in an standared segment.
Thanks,
Dharmendra

Hi,
change names while creatingwork are for that.
maintain order of the segments in order as for idoc.
check whether you are maintaining orderly or not.
