  Cause:
  
  
  Missing GTIN: The primary cause of this error is that the system cannot find a GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) for the specified material (&1) in the specified unit of measure (&2). This can happen if:
  
  The GTIN has not been maintained for the material in the system.

  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the material master or the GTIN settings in the system.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain GTIN in Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record for the affected material.
  Navigate to the relevant views (usually Basic Data or Sales views).
  Ensure that the GTIN is correctly maintained for the specific unit of measure. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction code MM02 to change the material master.
  Enter the GTIN in the appropriate field for the relevant unit of measure.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure:
  
  Verify that the unit of measure you are using is correctly defined and that the GTIN is associated with it.
  If necessary, add the GTIN for the required unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings related to GTINs in your SAP system. This may involve reviewing settings in the material management or logistics modules.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on maintaining GTINs and units of measure.
