Serialization error for object &. Expected counter & > & in IDoc
Help Document

Diagnosis

A serialization error has occurred for the HR object , which was received from the logical system .

The expected serialization counter has the value . However, the serialization counter in the IDoc has the value and is therefore too small.

In spite of serialization, it therefore seems that this IDoc was not posted in the past. Instead, newer IDocs with higher serialization counter values were posted. However, this should have resulted in a serialization error since there would have been a gap in the serialization counter values.

This inconsistency may be because the serialization counter was changed manually in the registry of the sending or receiving system.

System Response

Procedure

Decide what to do based on your own particular situation. Responses could range from ignoring or editing the IDoc, to manually adjusting the serialization counter in the registry of the receiving system to the expected value.
