• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VG090 - The segment sequence is incorrect. ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VG090 - The segment sequence is incorrect.
  
  Cause:
  The error VG090 typically occurs in SAP when the sequence of segments in a document (such as a delivery, shipment, or billing document) does not follow the expected or predefined order. SAP expects certain segments (data blocks) to appear in a specific sequence according to the business process or IDoc structure. If the sequence is violated, SAP throws this error.
  Common scenarios where this error appears include:
  
  During IDoc processing, when segments arrive out of order.
  When creating or changing delivery documents or shipments, and the system detects that the segment sequence in the document structure is inconsistent.
  Custom developments or enhancements that manipulate document segments incorrectly.
  Data inconsistencies or corruption in document flow.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VG090 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Segment Sequence:
  
  Review the document or IDoc segment sequence to ensure it follows the standard SAP sequence.
  Use transaction codes like WE02 or WE05 to analyze IDocs and their segment order.
  For delivery or shipment documents, check the document flow and segment structure.
  
  
  
  Correct the Data or Process:
  
  If the error occurs during IDoc processing, reprocess the IDoc after correcting the segment order.
  If custom code or user exits/enhancements are involved, review and correct the logic to maintain the correct segment sequence.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Adjust the Document:
  
  Sometimes, deleting and recreating the document (e.g., delivery or shipment) can resolve inconsistencies.
  Use standard SAP transactions to recreate the document properly.
  
  
  
  Check SAP Notes and Support:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes that address this error in your specific SAP version.
  Sometimes, patches or corrections are available from SAP.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation:
