The SAP error message FAGL_ORG_UNITS009, which states "No segment could be derived," typically occurs in the context of financial postings in SAP, particularly when dealing with the New General Ledger (New GL) functionality. This error indicates that the system is unable to determine the appropriate segment for the financial document being processed.
Cause:
The error can arise due to several reasons, including:
Missing Segment Assignment: The account being used in the transaction does not have a segment assigned in the master data. Segments are used for reporting purposes in the New GL.
Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for segment derivation may not be set up correctly in the system. This includes settings in the Financial Accounting (FI) module and the New GL.
Missing Derivation Rules: There may be no valid derivation rules defined for the segment in the system, which means the system does not know how to derive the segment based on the transaction data.
Document Type Issues: The document type being used may not be configured to allow segment derivation.
Solution:
To resolve the FAGL_ORG_UNITS009 error, you can take the following steps:
Check Account Master Data:
- Ensure that the account being used in the transaction has a segment assigned. You can check this in the account master data (transaction code FS00).
Review Segment Derivation Configuration:
- Go to the configuration settings for segment derivation in the New GL. This can typically be found under:
- SPRO ? Financial Accounting ? General Ledger ? Master Data ? Segment Derivation.
- Ensure that the necessary derivation rules are defined and active.
Define Derivation Rules:
- If no derivation rules exist, you may need to create them. This involves specifying how segments should be derived based on various criteria (e.g., company code, profit center, etc.).
Check Document Type Settings:
- Verify that the document type used for the transaction is configured to allow segment derivation. This can be checked in the configuration for document types.
Test with Different Data:
- If possible, try posting a transaction with different data to see if the issue persists. This can help identify if the problem is specific to certain accounts or configurations.
Consult Documentation:
- Review SAP documentation or notes related to segment derivation and the New GL for any additional insights or updates.
Contact SAP Support:
- If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
