• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SGT_01898 - Cannot enter seg. dependent MRP general data; seg. not fixed for &1 ?

  The SAP error message SGT_01898 indicates that there is an issue with segment-dependent MRP (Material Requirements Planning) general data. Specifically, the error states that the segment is not fixed for the material indicated by &1. This typically occurs when you are trying to enter or modify MRP data for a material that has not been properly configured for segment-dependent planning.
  Cause:
  
  Segment Not Fixed: The material in question has not been assigned a fixed segment for MRP purposes. This means that the system does not know which segment to use for planning.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the MRP settings or in the material master data.
  Missing Data: The necessary segment-dependent data may not have been maintained in the material master.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the material indicated by &1.
  Check the MRP views to ensure that the segment-dependent data is properly maintained.
  Ensure that the segment is fixed for the material. You may need to assign a segment if it is missing.
  
  
  
  Maintain Segment Data:
  
  If the segment is not fixed, you can fix it by navigating to the appropriate MRP view in the material master and entering the required segment information.
  Use transaction code MM02 to modify the material master and ensure that the segment-dependent MRP data is correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Review MRP Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for MRP in the SAP system. This can be done through transaction code SPRO and navigating to the relevant MRP settings.
