IDoc basic type/extension

IDoc basic type or extension does not match payload

IDoc syntax or processing fails because the control record declares a basic type/extension that does not match the actual segment structure.

Likely root causes

  1. Sender and receiver use different IDoc basic-type releases or extensions.
  2. Control record extension field is missing or incorrect.
  3. Custom segment changes were not transported/activated consistently.

What to inspect

  1. WE02 control record basic type and extension.
  2. WE30 basic type/extension structure in sender and receiver.
  3. WE31 custom segment definitions and release status.
  4. Middleware mapping that builds the control record.

Resolution path

  1. Align sender and receiver on the intended basic type and extension.
  2. Correct the control record/middleware mapping.
  3. Transport and activate custom segments/extensions consistently.
  4. Run syntax validation before reprocessing business IDocs.
