  The SAP error message B1107, which states "Higher-level segment deactivated," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) or when dealing with IDocs (Intermediate Documents) in SAP. This error indicates that a higher-level segment in a hierarchical structure (like an IDoc) has been deactivated, which prevents the processing of the lower-level segments.
  Cause:

  Data Integrity Issues: If the data being sent does not conform to the expected structure or if required fields are missing, it can lead to this error.
  Configuration Changes: Recent changes in the configuration of the IDoc types or BAPIs may have led to the deactivation of certain segments.
  
  Solution:
