SAP S/4HANA Error 5335: Segment Analysis Failure
Description
This error indicates a problem during the analysis of a data segment within SAP S/4HANA. It typically occurs during financial closing, reporting, or other processes that involve breaking down and evaluating business data by specific segments, such as profit centers, cost centers, or product lines. The analysis process could not be completed successfully.
Error Message
ERR_TEXT_LA_SCENARIO_1
Known Causes
4 known causesInconsistent Segment Data
The data within the segment being analyzed may be incomplete, corrupted, or not conform to expected data structures, preventing successful processing.
Incorrect System Configuration
The SAP S/4HANA configuration settings for segment analysis might be misconfigured, missing, or do not align with the current business requirements.
Insufficient System Resources
Processing very large or complex segments might exceed available system resources like memory or CPU, leading to the analysis failure.
Missing User Permissions
The user attempting the segment analysis might lack the necessary authorizations to access specific data or execute the required analysis functions.
Solutions
3 solutions available1. Verify Data Consistency in Relevant Tables medium
Checks and corrects potential data inconsistencies that might trigger segment analysis failures.
1
Identify the specific business process or transaction that is failing. This error often relates to a particular area of S/4HANA.
2
Determine the primary tables involved in the failing process. Common tables for segment analysis include those related to financial accounting (e.g., BKPF, BSEG, ACDOCA), controlling, or inventory management, depending on the scenario.
3
Execute SQL queries to check for orphaned records, missing foreign key relationships, or incorrect data types in the identified tables. For example, checking for a document header without a corresponding item or vice versa.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM BKPF WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM BSEG WHERE BSEG.MANDT = BKPF.MANDT AND BSEG.BUKRS = BKPF.BUKRS AND BSEG.BELNR = BKPF.BELNR AND BSEG.GJAHR = BKPF.GJAHR);
-- For ACDOCA (Universal Journal)
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ACDOCA WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM BKPF WHERE BKPF.MANDT = ACDOCA.MANDT AND BKPF.BUKRS = ACDOCA.BUKRS AND BKPF.BELNR = ACDOCA.BELNR AND BKPF.GJAHR = ACDOCA.GJAHR);4
If inconsistencies are found, use SAP's standard correction tools (e.g., transaction codes like FAGL_FCV, FAGL_CORR, or specific reports provided by SAP for data reconciliation) to fix them. Avoid direct table manipulation unless explicitly instructed by SAP support.
5
Re-run the transaction that caused the error to verify the fix.
2. Review and Re-activate Business Configuration Settings medium
Ensures that the relevant business configuration and master data settings are correctly defined and active.
1
Identify the specific S/4HANA module or functional area associated with the error (e.g., Finance, Logistics, Asset Accounting).
2
Navigate to the relevant configuration transactions in SPRO (SAP Reference IMG) for that module. For example, for Financial Accounting, this could be under Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Periodic Processing -> Integration.
3
Carefully review all settings related to segment reporting, profit center accounting, cost center accounting, or any other relevant segment-determining dimensions. Ensure that these are correctly configured and activated for the relevant company codes and controlling areas.
4
If custom segments or segment-related logic have been implemented, re-verify their definitions and assignments. Ensure that all required master data (e.g., company codes, controlling areas, profit centers) are correctly linked to segments.
5
Consider re-activating relevant configuration nodes or specific business functions that might have been affected by recent changes or transports. This can help to refresh the system's understanding of the configuration.
6
Test the transaction again after reviewing and potentially re-activating the configuration.
3. Analyze System Logs and Trace for Detailed Error Information advanced
Leverages system logs and traces to pinpoint the exact cause of the segment analysis failure.
1
Access the System Log (SM21) in S/4HANA and filter for messages related to error code 5335 or the specific transaction that failed. Look for any accompanying error messages or context.
2
If the error is intermittent or difficult to reproduce, use the Runtime Analysis (ST05) or SQL Trace tools to capture the database activity during the execution of the failing transaction. This will show the exact SQL statements being executed and any errors returned by the database.
3
Analyze the trace results to identify the specific database operation or table that is causing the segment analysis failure. Pay attention to any SQL errors or performance bottlenecks.
4
Examine the SAP Application Log (SLG1) for more detailed application-specific error messages that might be generated by the segment analysis logic. Filter by object, sub-object, and user.
5
If the trace reveals issues with specific database objects or queries, consider consulting SAP Notes for known issues related to segment analysis and the identified objects. If no SAP Note is found, this information will be crucial for opening a support ticket with SAP.
