• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EA793 - No new segments have been added ?

  The SAP error message EA793 "No new segments have been added" typically occurs in the context of data processing or data transfer, particularly when working with IDocs (Intermediate Documents) or similar data structures in SAP. This error indicates that the system expected new segments to be added to a data structure but did not find any.
  Cause:
  
  Data Structure Definition: The error may arise if the data structure (like an IDoc type) is not defined correctly or if the segments that are supposed to be added are missing.
  Mapping Issues: If there is a mapping issue between the source and target systems, it may lead to the absence of expected segments.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration in the IDoc processing or in the related function modules can lead to this error.
  Empty Data: If the data being processed is empty or does not meet the criteria for adding new segments, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check IDoc Structure: Verify the IDoc structure and ensure that the segments are defined correctly. Use transaction WE30 to check the IDoc type and its segments.
  Review Data Mapping: Ensure that the data being sent or processed is correctly mapped to the IDoc segments. Check the source data to confirm that it contains the necessary information.
  Debugging: Use transaction WE19 to simulate the IDoc processing and debug the issue. This can help identify where the process is failing.
  Configuration Review: Check the configuration settings related to the IDoc processing in transaction WE20. Ensure that the partner profiles and message types are set up correctly.
  Check for Empty Data: If the data being processed is empty, ensure that the data source is providing the expected data. Validate the data before processing.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific IDoc type or function module you are working with for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
