• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LE_SHP_BF_EAN128036 - The check digit of SSCC &1 is incorrect. &2 is correct ?

  The SAP error message LE_SHP_BF_EAN128036 indicates that there is an issue with the check digit of the Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) that has been provided. The SSCC is a unique identifier used in logistics and supply chain management, and it is typically encoded in a barcode format, such as EAN-128.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the check digit of the SSCC does not match the expected value. The check digit is calculated based on the preceding digits of the SSCC using a specific algorithm (usually the Modulo 10 algorithm). If the check digit does not match the calculated value, SAP will raise this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Verify the SSCC: Check the SSCC that you have entered. Ensure that it is correct and complete, with no missing or extra digits.
  
  
  Recalculate the Check Digit: Use the correct algorithm to recalculate the check digit for the SSCC. The steps for calculating the check digit are as follows:
  
  Take the first 17 digits of the SSCC.
  Multiply each digit by a weight (alternating weights of 3 and 1).
  Sum the results.
  Calculate the check digit using the formula: Check Digit = (10 - (Sum % 10)) % 10.
  
  
  
  Update the SSCC: If the recalculated check digit is different from the one provided, update the SSCC in your system with the correct value.
  
  
  Test the Barcode: If you are using a barcode scanner, ensure that the scanner is functioning correctly and that it is reading the barcode accurately.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the SSCC format or the check digit calculation, refer to the relevant SAP documentation or guidelines for SSCC and EAN-128 barcodes.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SSCC Format: The SSCC is typically 18 digits long, starting with a 0, followed by a company prefix, a unique serial number, and a check digit.
  EAN-128: This is a standard for encoding data in barcodes, which includes the SSCC as well as other information.
  SAP Logistics: This error is commonly encountered in logistics processes within SAP, particularly in shipping and receiving scenarios.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that the SSCC is valid and correctly formatted.
