• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6M013 - Extraction selection from more than 1 segment (here &1, &2) not allowed. ?

  The SAP error message 6M013 indicates that there is an issue with the extraction selection from more than one segment in a data extraction process. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or data extraction from SAP ERP systems where data is being pulled from multiple segments or tables that are not allowed to be combined in the extraction process.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the extraction process attempts to select data from multiple segments (or data sources) that are not compatible with each other. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Data Source Configuration: The data source may be configured to pull data from a single segment, but the extraction logic is trying to access multiple segments.
  Data Model Design: The data model may not support the extraction of data from multiple segments simultaneously.
  Query Design: The query or extraction logic may be incorrectly designed to pull from multiple segments.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review Data Source Configuration: Check the configuration of the data source in SAP BW or the relevant extraction setup. Ensure that it is set up to pull data from a single segment.
  
  
  Modify the Query: If you are using a query to extract data, ensure that the query is designed to pull data from only one segment. You may need to create separate queries for each segment if you need data from multiple sources.
  
  
  Check Data Model: Review the data model to ensure that it supports the extraction requirements. If necessary, redesign the data model to accommodate the extraction needs.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on data extraction and segment compatibility.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the extraction process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) for BW or other related transactions for data extraction.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
