  The SAP error message SGT_MAIN054 indicates that you are trying to maintain a discrete batch number for a delivery or document that is not relevant for segmentation. This typically occurs in the context of batch management and handling of materials in SAP, particularly when dealing with batch-specific processes.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  The delivery or document (in this case, the delivery code DC &1) is not set up to handle discrete batches. This can happen if the material is not configured for batch management or if the batch management settings do not align with the requirements for the specific document type.
  The material or product in question is not marked as batch-managed in the material master data.
  The configuration settings for batch management in the system do not allow for the maintenance of discrete batches for the specified document type.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Basic Data" and "Plant Data/Storage" views to ensure that the material is set up for batch management. The "Batch Management" checkbox should be selected.

  Navigate to Logistics > General > Batch Management > Batch Management Settings and ensure that the settings are correctly configured for the relevant document types.
  
  
  
  Verify Document Type Settings:
  
  Ensure that the document type (in this case, the delivery code) is configured to allow for batch management. This can be checked in the configuration settings for the specific document type.
  
  
  
  Check Segmentation Settings:
  
  If segmentation is being used, verify that the segmentation settings are correctly defined and that the document type is relevant for segmentation.
