• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GTCN_MESSAGE212 - There must be one default processor for each group ?

  The SAP error message GTCN_MESSAGE212 ("There must be one default processor for each group") typically occurs in the context of SAP's Global Trade Services (GTS) module, particularly when dealing with compliance management or trade processes. This error indicates that a specific group (such as a group of products, customers, or suppliers) does not have a designated default processor assigned to it.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to assign a default processor to the relevant group. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access GTS Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP GTS system and navigate to the configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Identify the Group:
  
  Determine which group is causing the error. This could be a group related to products, customers, or suppliers.
  
  
  
  Assign Default Processor:
  
  In the configuration settings, find the section where you can define or edit groups.
  Locate the specific group that is missing a default processor.
  Assign a default processor (this could be a user or a role) to the group.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After assigning the default processor, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  Perform the action that previously triggered the error to ensure that it has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user or role assigned as the default processor has the necessary authorizations to perform the required tasks.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP GTS documentation for detailed instructions on managing groups and processors.
