This typically occurs in the context of SAP Fashion Management (FMS) or SAP S/4HANA Fashion and Vertical Business, where materials are managed with specific attributes related to segmentation.
  Cause:
  
  Material Configuration: The material in question may not be configured correctly for segmentation. This could be due to missing or incorrect settings in the material master data.
  Segmentation Settings: The segmentation settings in the system may not include the material or may not be set up to handle the specific characteristics of the material.
  Weight and Volume Data: The material may not have the required weight and volume data maintained in the system, which is necessary for segmentation.
  Material Type: The material type may not be compatible with the segmentation process, or it may not be marked as relevant for segmentation.

  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and verify that the necessary fields for segmentation (like weight and volume) are filled out correctly.
