• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E0786 - Segment & version & not found ?

  The SAP error message E0786 "Segment & version & not found" typically occurs in the context of SAP's data processing, particularly when dealing with IDocs (Intermediate Documents) or when working with certain data segments in the system. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a specified segment or version of a segment that is expected in the processing of an IDoc or a similar data structure.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Segment Definition: The segment that is being referenced may not be defined in the system. This could happen if the segment was deleted or if the configuration was not properly set up.
  Incorrect Version: The version of the segment being referenced may not exist. This can occur if there are changes in the IDoc structure or if the wrong version is being called.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the IDoc types or message types that are being used, leading to the system not being able to find the required segment.
  Transport Issues: If the IDoc definitions were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport that caused the segment definitions to be incomplete or missing.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Segment Definition: Verify that the segment in question is defined in the system. You can do this by checking the IDoc segment definitions in transaction WE31 (for segment definitions) or WE30 (for IDoc types).
  Verify Version: Ensure that the correct version of the segment is being used. You can check the version in the IDoc type definition and ensure that it matches what is being processed.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the IDoc types and message types in transaction WE20 (partner profiles) and ensure that they are correctly set up.
  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly. You may need to re-transport the missing segments or definitions.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to identify where the error is occurring. This may involve looking at the code that processes the IDoc or the specific transaction that is generating the error.
