• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SGT_MAIN072 - Cannot enter seg. dependent MRP qty data; segment is not MRQ relevant ?

  The SAP error message SGT_MAIN072 indicates that there is an issue with entering segment-dependent MRP (Material Requirements Planning) quantity data because the segment in question is not relevant for MRP. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's S/4HANA or other SAP ERP systems that utilize segment reporting or segment-based MRP.
  Cause:
  
  Segment Not MRP Relevant: The segment you are trying to enter data for is not configured to be relevant for MRP. This can happen if the segment settings do not allow for MRP processing.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the material master or MRP settings that prevent the segment from being used in MRP calculations.
  Data Entry Error: The user may be trying to enter data in the wrong field or for the wrong segment.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Segment Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the segments in your SAP system. Ensure that the segment you are working with is marked as relevant for MRP.
  You can check this in the material master data (transaction code MM03) under the MRP views.
  
  
  
  Review MRP Settings:
  
  Ensure that the MRP settings for the material are correctly configured. This includes checking the MRP type, lot size, and other relevant parameters.
  Use transaction code OMD0 to review and adjust MRP settings if necessary.
  
  
  
  Data Entry Verification:
  
  Double-check the data you are entering. Make sure you are entering it in the correct segment and that the data is valid for that segment.
  If you are using a custom transaction or report, ensure that it is correctly designed to handle segment-dependent data.
