This error indicates that a function module or method that is expected to receive a table of segments (data) is being called with an empty table. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Empty Data Table: The primary cause of this error is that the table being passed to the function EDI_SEGMENTS_ADD_BLOCK is empty. This can happen if there is no data to process or if there was an issue in the data retrieval process.

  Solution:
  
  Check Data Source: Verify that the data source from which the EDI segments are being populated contains the expected data. Ensure that the data retrieval logic is functioning correctly.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools in SAP to trace the execution of the program and check the contents of the table before it is passed to the EDI_SEGMENTS_ADD_BLOCK function. This will help identify where the data is being lost or not populated.
  Review Mapping Logic: Ensure that the mapping logic between the source data and the EDI segments is correct. Make sure that all necessary fields are being populated.
  Check Filters: Review any filters or selection criteria that may be applied to the data. Ensure that they are not overly restrictive.
  Configuration Review: Check the EDI configuration settings in SAP to ensure that they are set up correctly. This includes checking partner profiles, message types, and other relevant settings.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your code to manage cases where the data table might be empty, providing meaningful messages or fallback logic.
