• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_IDOC000 - Specify a segment type ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZRE_IDOC000 Specify a segment type
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when an IDoc segment type is not specified or is missing during IDoc processing or creation. The system expects a segment type to be defined for the IDoc structure, but it is either blank or incorrect. This can happen in scenarios such as:
  
  When manually creating or modifying IDocs and the segment type field is left empty.
  When a custom program or interface is generating IDocs but does not assign the segment type properly.
  When the IDoc metadata or segment definitions are incomplete or corrupted.
  During inbound processing, if the segment type in the incoming IDoc does not match the expected segment types defined in the IDoc type.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the IDoc segment assignment:
  
  Verify that the segment type is correctly specified in the IDoc data.
  Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display the IDoc and check if the segment types are present and correct.
  
  
  
  Review the IDoc type and segment definitions:
  
  Use transaction WE30 to check the IDoc type and ensure that the segment types are properly defined.
  Use transaction WE31 to check the segment definitions.
  
  
  
  Correct the program or interface generating the IDoc:
  
  If a custom program or middleware is creating the IDoc, ensure that the segment type is assigned correctly in the code.
  For example, when populating the IDoc data structure, the segment type field (e.g., SEGNAM) must be filled with a valid segment name.
  
  
  
  Inbound processing:
  
  If the error occurs during inbound processing, check the inbound process code and partner profile settings.
  Ensure that the incoming IDoc segments conform to the expected IDoc type and segment structure.
  
  
  
  Re-generate or reprocess the IDoc:
  
  After correcting the segment type, reprocess the IDoc using transaction BD87 or re-trigger the IDoc creation.

  WE20 – Partner Profiles
  
  
  
  Notes:
  
  Always ensure that the segment types used are consistent with the IDoc type definition.
  Custom IDoc types and segments must be properly created and activated in the system.
  Check for any recent changes in IDoc definitions or interface programs that might have caused the missing segment type.
  
  
  
  
  If you provide more context (e.g., inbound or outbound IDoc, custom or standard IDoc, transaction or program used), I can help with more specific guidance.
