E0781 - Details

• The SAP error message E0781, which states "Segment & is already used in one extension," typically occurs in the context of SAP's data model extensions, particularly when working with the Business Partner (BP) or Customer/Vendor master data. This error indicates that the segment you are trying to use is already associated with another extension, which can lead to conflicts or inconsistencies in the data model.
  
  Cause:
  
  Segment Reuse: The segment you are trying to add or modify is already linked to another extension. In SAP, segments are often used to define specific attributes or characteristics of a data model, and reusing them across multiple extensions can lead to conflicts.
  Data Model Configuration: The configuration of the data model may not allow for the same segment to be used in multiple extensions simultaneously.
  Incorrect Extension Setup: There may be an issue with how the extensions are set up in the system, leading to this conflict.
