• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RDM_OPT_OUTBOUND005 - None of selected materials has a main EAN => No sending ?

  The SAP error message RDM_OPT_OUTBOUND005 indicates that none of the selected materials have a main EAN (European Article Number) assigned to them, which is necessary for processing outbound deliveries or shipments. This error typically occurs in the context of logistics and inventory management when trying to send data related to materials that lack the required identification.
  Cause:
  
  Missing EAN: The primary cause of this error is that the materials you are trying to process do not have a main EAN assigned in the material master data.
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master records may not have been properly maintained, leading to missing or incorrect EAN entries.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to choose materials for processing may inadvertently include materials that do not have a main EAN.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the affected materials (transaction code MM03).
  Verify if the main EAN is assigned in the relevant views (usually in the Sales or Basic Data views).
  If the EAN is missing, you will need to add it.
  
  
  
  Assign EAN:
  
  If the EAN is not present, you can assign it by editing the material master record (transaction code MM02).
  Navigate to the appropriate view (e.g., Basic Data 1 or Sales Org Data) and enter the EAN in the designated field.
  
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria:
  
  Ensure that the selection criteria used for processing outbound deliveries are correct and do not include materials that lack a main EAN.
  Adjust the selection criteria if necessary to exclude such materials.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run a consistency check on your material master data to identify any other potential issues that may affect processing.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines for managing material master data to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
