• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message B1611 - Segment type &, version &: No segment name found ?

  The SAP error message B1611, which states "Segment type &, version &: No segment name found," typically occurs in the context of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or Intermediate Document (IDoc) processing. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a segment name for a specified segment type and version in the relevant configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Segment Definition: The segment type and version specified in the error message do not have a corresponding segment name defined in the system.

  Go to transaction code WE30 (for IDoc types) or WE31 (for segment types) in SAP.
