What causes this issue?

During segment filtering in the ALE layer, a segment of type &v1& was
supposed to be filtered from an IDoc with message type &v2&. However,
this is not possible as the segment is marked as mandatory in the IDoc
type. Mandatory segments contain essential IDoc information and cannot
be left out.

Check the configurations for the segment filter in ALE Customizing, or
use transaction WE30 to check the definition of the IDoc type.
