Cause


Issue here is SAP PI Java Stack does not support "nil" values in the IDOC fields and message got failed in SAP PI Receiver IDOC_AAE channel.

Nil values are mapped in the message mapping for all the E1BPADR1 nodes anc child nodes as well in the IDOC.

 

Resolution

Please correct the mapping for E1BPADR1 nodes by replacing the If Else Condition with If Without Esle condition for all the target nodes where "NIL" is mapped , hence no "Nil" value will be mapped
