  Check the relevant views (such as Basic Data, Sales, or Plant Data) to see if the segmentation settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Set Material as Segment-Relevant:
  
  If the material is not marked as segment-relevant, you will need to update the material master data.
  Use transaction code MM02 to change the material master.
  Navigate to the appropriate view (e.g., Sales: General/Plant Data) and ensure that the segmentation-relevant checkbox is selected.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  Ensure that the segmentation settings in the system are correctly configured. This may involve checking the configuration in the relevant customizing settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Look for settings related to segmentation in the material management or sales and distribution modules.
