• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SGT_01079 - Cannot enter seg. dependent valuation data; segmentation scope is not 1 ?

  The SAP error message SGT_01079 indicates that there is an issue with entering segment-dependent valuation data in the system. The specific message "Cannot enter seg. dependent valuation data; segmentation scope is not 1" suggests that the segmentation scope is not set correctly for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Segmentation Scope: The segmentation scope is a configuration setting that determines how segment-dependent valuation data can be entered. If the segmentation scope is not set to "1", it means that the system is not allowing segment-dependent data entry for the current context.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the settings related to segmentation in the SAP system.
  Data Entry Context: The context in which you are trying to enter the data may not support segment-dependent valuation.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Segmentation Scope: Verify the segmentation scope settings in your SAP configuration. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration area in the SAP system (usually under Financial Accounting or Controlling).
  Adjust Configuration: If the segmentation scope is not set to "1", you may need to adjust the configuration to allow for segment-dependent valuation data entry. This may involve changing settings in the controlling area or the relevant valuation area.
  Review Data Entry Process: Ensure that you are in the correct transaction or process that supports segment-dependent valuation. If you are trying to enter data in a context that does not support it, you may need to switch to a different transaction or process.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on segmentation and valuation settings. This can provide insights into how to properly configure the system for your needs.
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue through configuration changes, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide more detailed guidance based on your specific system setup.
