• Message number: 046

• Message text: Only the selected lines without check errors will be saved

What causes this issue?

Some of the lines that you have selected for saving contain GTIN data
with errors, and therefore cannot be saved.

System Response

When the system saves, it will take into account only the lines without
errors, from those that you have selected.

How to fix this error?

You may need to select additional lines to achieve a consistent status
for saving, for each article and unit of measure. The reason for this is
that in addition to the selected lines, the lines that are dependent on
them are also automatically included in the check scope. If there are
any errors that cannot be corrected in the transaction, you need to
adjust the data in your input file/in the clipboard before you can save.
You should address any correctable errors before setting the indicator
for the main GTIN and saving.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
