• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SGT_01126 - Batch management is mandatory if the scope of segmentation strategy is 1 ?

  The SAP error message SGT_01126 indicates that batch management is required when the scope of the segmentation strategy is set to 1. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or in the context of managing product segmentation in SAP S/4HANA or SAP ECC.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system is configured to require batch management for products that are segmented in a certain way. Specifically, when the segmentation strategy's scope is set to 1, it implies that batch management is mandatory for the products involved. This means that the system expects that the products will be managed in batches, and therefore, batch management settings must be properly configured.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Segmentation Strategy Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the segmentation strategy in your SAP system.
  Verify the settings for the segmentation strategy and ensure that it aligns with your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Enable Batch Management:
  
  If batch management is indeed required, you need to enable it for the relevant materials/products.
  You can do this by navigating to the material master data (transaction code MM02 for changing material data) and ensuring that the batch management indicator is set.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master records for the products involved. Ensure that the batch management settings are correctly configured.
  Go to the Basic Data view and check the "Batch Management" checkbox.
  
  
  
  Adjust Segmentation Scope:
  
  If batch management is not required for your business process, consider adjusting the segmentation strategy's scope to a value other than 1, if appropriate. This may involve changing the configuration in the relevant customizing settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant to understand the implications of changing batch management settings or segmentation strategies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform testing to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the system behaves as expected.
