• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SGT_01084 - Material is segmentation relevant; enter segmentation structure ?

  The SAP error message SGT_01084 indicates that the material you are trying to process is marked as "segmentation relevant," but the required segmentation structure has not been entered. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or in the context of materials that are managed with segmentation in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Segmentation Relevance: The material is defined in the system as being relevant for segmentation, which means it needs to be categorized or segmented based on certain criteria (e.g., customer, region, product line).
  Missing Segmentation Structure: When you attempt to perform an operation (like creating a sales order, planning, etc.) involving this material, the system requires you to specify a segmentation structure that defines how the material should be segmented.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to enter the appropriate segmentation structure for the material. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  Identify the Material: Determine which material is causing the error.
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the Material Master (Transaction Code: MM03).
  Enter the material number and check the relevant views (especially the Sales or Basic Data views) to see if the segmentation relevance is set.
  
  
  Define Segmentation Structure:
  
  If you have access, navigate to the segmentation settings in the system (this may vary based on your SAP version).
  Define or select the appropriate segmentation structure that applies to the material.
  
  
  Assign Segmentation Structure:
  
  Go back to the material master and assign the segmentation structure to the material.
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary changes, save the material master data.
  Retry the Operation: Attempt the operation that previously resulted in the error to see if it has been resolved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Segmentation in SAP: Segmentation is often used in sales and distribution (SD) and advanced planning scenarios to better manage and analyze data based on specific criteria.
  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.
  Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to material master data and segmentation settings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation or your organization's SAP support team for specific guidelines related to segmentation and material management.
  
  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.
