• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SGT_01066 - Only procurement type 'F' is allowed when scope of seg. strategy is 1 ?

  The SAP error message SGT_01066 indicates that there is a restriction on the procurement type that can be used in a specific context related to the scope of segmentation strategy. The message states that only procurement type 'F' (which stands for "external procurement") is allowed when the scope of the segmentation strategy is set to 1.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises in the context of SAP's segmentation strategy for materials or products, particularly when dealing with the Supply Chain Management (SCM) or Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) modules. The segmentation strategy defines how products are categorized and managed based on various criteria, and the procurement type must align with the defined strategy.
  The specific cause of this error can be:
  
  Incorrect Procurement Type: The material or product in question is assigned a procurement type other than 'F' (e.g., 'E' for in-house production, 'X' for both, etc.) while the segmentation strategy requires 'F'.
  Configuration Issue: The segmentation strategy may not be configured correctly to allow for the desired procurement types.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record of the affected material and check the procurement type. Ensure that it is set to 'F' if the segmentation strategy requires it.
  
  
  
  Review Segmentation Strategy Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for the segmentation strategy in SAP. Ensure that the strategy is set up correctly and that it aligns with the procurement types you intend to use.
  You can access the configuration through the following path: 
  
  SPRO ? Advanced Planning and Optimization ? Global Settings ? Segmentation ? Define Segmentation Strategies.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Procurement Type:
  
  If the procurement type needs to be changed, you can do this in the material master record. Use transaction code MM02 to modify the material and change the procurement type to 'F'.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to segmentation strategies and procurement types to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Segmentation Strategy: This is a method used in SAP to categorize products based on various criteria, which can include procurement type, demand patterns, or other attributes.
  Procurement Types: In SAP, procurement types define how materials are procured. Common types include:
  
  'F' - External procurement
  'E' - In-house production
  'X' - Both external and in-house
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM01 (Create Material), MM02 (Change Material), and MM03 (Display Material) for managing material master data.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the relevant module.
