Write off FICA documents with no segments after New GL has been activated

Question

Hi Gurus,
The scenario we are facing is as follows"
The client had already implemented FICA as part of its legacy, but SAP FICO was not implemented. As part of the new framework, we are implementing SAP FICO as well, while at the same time New GL is now being activated.
All ancillary configurations have been maintained for deriving profit center/segment information on main and sub transactions through use of CO Account assignment key.
Issue:
The issue we are facing now is that, while writing off (FP04) any FICA document which has a profit center/segment information, we are able to write it off. But any FICA document which does not have segment information, we are getting the error "Segment Missing"
Probable Solutions:
1) Tried maintaining the  value as "2" (Account Assignment) at the following node:
FICAIMG-->Business transactions--> Define specifications for Write-offs
This solution did not help us in writing off the FICA document
2)Custom logic in event 5030?
Custom logic can be maintained in the FM at event 5030, where we should be able to derive the profit center/segment info. based on the business area
Please let me know if any other options can be tried and also if the custom logic at event 5030 should help us resolve the write off issue?

Hi, I have the same laptop and had the same problem.
I have solved it by adding the following arguments to the kernel command line:
acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor
Note: acpi_osi only did the trick, but then the backlight service fails. acpi_backlight fixes the service.
