• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_EA015 - Enhanced selection not permitted if no segment type is specified ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WS_EA015 - Enhanced selection not permitted if no segment type is specified
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to use Enhanced Selection in a Web Service (WS) or Enterprise Services (ES) scenario without specifying a segment type in the selection criteria.
  
  In SAP, when defining selection criteria for services (especially in Enterprise Services or Web Services), you can use Enhanced Selection to filter data more precisely.
  However, the system requires that you specify the segment type (i.e., the data structure or segment of the message) to which the enhanced selection applies.
  If you attempt to use enhanced selection without specifying the segment type, the system cannot determine the context or the data structure to apply the selection, hence it throws this error.
  
  
  When does this typically happen?
  
  When configuring or testing Enterprise Services (ES) or Web Services (WS) in SAP.
  When using the Enterprise Services Builder
