  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG005 - IDoc segment & will not be analyzed ?

    The SAP error message:

    WG005: IDoc segment & will not be analyzed


    Meaning / Cause:

    This message occurs during IDoc processing or analysis when the system encounters an IDoc segment that it cannot analyze or process. The placeholder "&" is replaced by the segment name.

    Common causes include:

    • The segment is not defined in the segment hierarchy of the IDoc type.
    • The segment is not recognized because the segment definition is missing or inconsistent in the system.
    • The segment is not relevant for the current processing scenario or message type.
    • The IDoc is corrupted or incomplete.
    • The segment is a custom or extension segment that is not properly registered or activated.

    Explanation:

    When an IDoc is processed, SAP analyzes each segment according to the IDoc type and message type definitions. If a segment is encountered that is not part of the expected structure, SAP issues this warning or error and skips the segment analysis.


    Solution / How to fix:

    1. Check the IDoc type and message type:

      • Verify that the IDoc type and message type used correspond to the segments present in the IDoc.
      • Use transaction WE30 to check the IDoc type and segments.
      • Use transaction WE60 to display the IDoc documentation.
    2. Check segment definitions:

      • Use transaction WE31 to check if the segment mentioned in the message exists.
      • If it is a custom segment, ensure it is properly created and assigned.
    3. Check segment hierarchy:

      • Use transaction WE82 or WE81 to check the message type to IDoc type assignment.
      • Use transaction WE30 to check the segment hierarchy of the IDoc type.
      • Ensure the segment is part of the hierarchy and correctly linked.
    4. Check for extensions:

      • If the segment is part of an extension, ensure the extension is activated and the segment is included.
      • Use transaction WE30 to check extension IDocs.
    5. Check the IDoc data:

      • Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display the IDoc.
      • Check if the segment data is complete and correctly formatted.
    6. If the segment is not needed:

      • Sometimes, the segment is irrelevant for the processing scenario and can be ignored.
      • You can suppress the message or handle it in custom code.
    7. Re-generate or re-activate the IDoc type:

      • Sometimes re-generating the IDoc type or re-activating the message type helps.

    Additional Information:

    • This message is usually a warning and does not necessarily stop IDoc processing.
    • It is important to verify if the missing segment affects business processing.
    • If the segment is missing due to a system inconsistency, transport or system refresh issues, check the system landscape.
    • For custom developments, ensure that the segment is properly included in the IDoc structure and the processing function modules.

    Summary:
