Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_MSG_CL_SEASONS426 - Segment-based seasons cannot be maintained for non-segment article &1 ?

  The SAP error message FSH_MSG_CL_SEASONS426 indicates that you are trying to maintain segment-based seasons for an article that is not defined as a segment article. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Fashion Management (FMS) or SAP S/4HANA Fashion and Vertical Business, where articles can be categorized into segments for better management of seasonal collections.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You attempt to assign or maintain segment-based seasons for an article that is not classified as a segment article.
  The article in question is likely a generic article or a non-segmented article, which does not support the concept of segment-based seasons.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Article Classification:
  
  Verify the classification of the article in question. Ensure that it is defined as a segment article. You can do this by checking the article master data in the relevant SAP transaction (e.g., MM03 for material master).
  
  
  
  Change Article Type:
  
  If the article is not a segment article and you need it to be, consider changing its type to a segment article. This may involve creating a new article with the correct classification.
  
  
  
  Review Season Assignment:
  
  If the article should not be a segment article, then you should not attempt to assign segment-based seasons to it. Instead, manage the seasons using the appropriate methods for non-segment articles.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to article management and seasons to understand the requirements and limitations of segment-based seasons.
