IDoc could fail due to various reasons like incorrect data in transmission (from source system), incorrect data in SAP, and missing master data etc.
Due to time constraints, customer / vendor relationship, or nature of the data it is not always possible to get another EDI transmission from source for the failed data.
At every organization there is a need to edit and re-process IDoc data within SAP.
