• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SGT_01896 - Cannot enter seg. dependent MRP &1 data; seg. is not &2 relevant ?

  The SAP error message SGT_01896 indicates that there is an issue with segment-dependent Material Requirements Planning (MRP) data. Specifically, the error states that you cannot enter segment-dependent MRP data because the segment is not relevant for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Segment Configuration: The segment you are trying to use is not configured to be relevant for MRP in the system. This could be due to incorrect settings in the material master or the configuration of the segments.
  Data Entry Error: You may be trying to enter data for a segment that is not applicable to the material or the specific MRP type you are working with.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may not have the necessary settings for the segment you are trying to use, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Segment Relevance:
  
  Verify the configuration of the segments in your SAP system. Ensure that the segment you are trying to enter data for is marked as relevant for MRP.
  You can do this by checking the configuration settings in the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO).
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the MRP views. Ensure that the segment you are trying to use is correctly set up and relevant for the material.
  If necessary, update the material master data to include the correct segment settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to segment-dependent MRP to understand the requirements and configurations needed for your specific scenario.

  Related Information:
  
  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.
  MRP Types: Understand the different MRP types and how they interact with segments in your SAP system.
  Customizing Settings: Review the customizing settings for MRP in SPRO, particularly under the sections related to MRP and segment management.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement the necessary changes to resolve it.
