  The SAP error message B1407 indicates that a specific segment type has been deactivated for a particular message type in the context of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or Intermediate Document (IDoc) processing. This error typically arises when the system attempts to process a message that includes a segment that is not currently active or allowed for the specified message type.
  Cause:
  
  Deactivation of Segment: The segment type referenced in the error message has been deactivated in the configuration settings for the specified message type.
  Configuration Issues: There may be inconsistencies or misconfigurations in the EDI/IDoc settings, such as the mapping of segments to message types.
