• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM037 - MPL in tgt syst. is more up to date than in sending syst; IDoc is ignored ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM037 MPL in tgt syst. is more up to date than in sending syst; IDoc is ignored typically occurs in the context of IDoc processing, particularly when dealing with Master Data or Material Master data in SAP. This error indicates that the target system (where the IDoc is being sent) has a more recent version of the data than the source system (where the IDoc is being generated). As a result, the IDoc is ignored to prevent overwriting more current data in the target system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Version Mismatch: The primary cause of this error is that the data in the target system has been updated after the IDoc was generated in the sending system. This can happen if:
  
  The target system has received updates from other sources.
  There are concurrent updates happening in the target system.
  The IDoc is being sent after a significant delay.
  
  
  
  IDoc Processing Logic: The IDoc processing logic is designed to prevent overwriting newer data, which is a safeguard against data inconsistency.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Check Data Versions: 
  
  Verify the version of the data in both the sending and target systems. You can do this by checking the relevant tables (e.g., MARA for Material Master) in both systems.
  If the target system has the latest data, you may need to update the sending system to reflect the latest changes.
  
  
  
  Reprocess IDoc: 
  
  If the IDoc is still relevant, you may need to reprocess it after ensuring that the data in the sending system is up to date.
  You can use transaction codes like WE19 (IDoc test tool) to simulate the processing of the IDoc.
  
  
  
  Adjust IDoc Logic: 
  
  If this is a recurring issue, you may need to review the IDoc processing logic or the configuration settings in the sending or receiving systems to ensure that they are aligned.
  
  
  
  Manual Intervention: 
  
  In some cases, manual intervention may be required to either update the sending system or to manually adjust the data in the target system.
  
  
  
  Monitoring and Alerts: 
  
  Implement monitoring and alerting mechanisms to catch such discrepancies early, allowing for timely resolution.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  IDoc Status Codes: Familiarize yourself with IDoc status codes to understand the processing state of IDocs. For example, status 51 indicates that the IDoc has been ignored.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like WE02 or WE05 to monitor IDocs and their statuses.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to IDoc processing and data synchronization.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error and ensure that your IDoc processing is functioning correctly.
