• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MG519 - Storage location segment for material & has no header segment ?

  The SAP error message MG519 indicates that there is an issue with the storage location segment for a material in the system. Specifically, it means that the storage location data for the material does not have a corresponding header segment. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to create or change material master data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Header Segment: The material master record may not have been created properly, leading to a missing header segment for the storage location data.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the database, possibly due to incomplete transactions or errors during data entry.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the material master or storage location may not be set up correctly.
  Transport Issues: If the material master data was transported from one system to another, it may not have been transported completely.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction code MM03 (Display Material) and check if the material exists and if the header segment is present.
  If the header segment is missing, you may need to create or update the material master using transaction code MM01 (Create Material) or MM02 (Change Material).
  
  
  
  Recreate the Storage Location Data:
  
  If the header segment is missing, you can try to recreate the storage location data for the material. This can be done by using transaction code MM02 to add the storage location data again.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Inconsistencies:
  
  Use transaction code MM02 to check for any inconsistencies in the material master data. If inconsistencies are found, correct them.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  Ensure that the configuration settings for the material master and storage location are correct. This may involve checking the settings in the IMG (Implementation Guide) under Logistics > Material Management > Material Master.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly. You may need to re-transport the material master data.
