• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E0221 - EDI: Segment number of &1 is too high ?

  The SAP error message E0221, which states "EDI: Segment number of &1 is too high," typically occurs in the context of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) processing. This error indicates that the segment number specified in the EDI message exceeds the maximum allowed limit for segments in the EDI standard being used.
  
  Cause:
  
  Segment Limit Exceeded: Each EDI standard (like EDIFACT, ANSI X12, etc.) has a defined limit on the number of segments that can be included in a message. If the number of segments in the EDI message exceeds this limit, SAP will trigger this error.
  Incorrect Mapping: There may be an issue with the mapping of the EDI segments to the SAP data structure, leading to an incorrect count of segments being processed.
  Message Structure Issues: The structure of the EDI message being sent or received may not conform to the expected format, resulting in an unexpected number of segments.
