GA733 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message number: 733

• Message text: The segment contains no receivers

What causes this issue?

No receivers were found for segment &V1&.

System Response

Further processing of this segment is not possible.

How to fix this error?

Check the segment definition in the maintenance transaction for &V2&.
Possible errors are:
You have set the selection criteria for the receivers so that no valid
receivers could be found.
The selection criteria for the tracing factor (tracing factor "Variable
amounts") are not suitable for the field group selected. Example:
"Actual statistical key figures" was selected as a field group, but no
key figure was stored in the associated field.
The system cannot find any receivers due to the inheritance logic for
allocations. This problem only occurs in FI-SL totals tables for which
the "Inherit from sender based on the receiver" indicator is activated
in the "Partner object update" screen (T811U-INHERSRC). These are
tables that were installed before Release 4.6A.
To check this, use transaction GCA8 and see the section on:
<DS:TX.FI_GLX_GA_INHERIT>Inheritance Logic for Allocations</>
and correct the affected cycle, if required.
