  The SAP error message "SAPLWOSZ036 GTIN &1 not unique" typically occurs when there is an issue with the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) in the SAP system. This error indicates that the GTIN you are trying to use is not unique within the system, meaning that there are multiple entries with the same GTIN.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate GTINs: The most common cause of this error is that the GTIN you are trying to enter already exists in the system for another product or item.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may have been a mistake in entering the GTIN, leading to a conflict with existing entries.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, duplicates may have been created during the migration process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing GTINs: Use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material) or MM02 (Change Material) to check if the GTIN already exists in the system. You can search for the GTIN in the material master data.
  Correct the GTIN: If you find that the GTIN is indeed duplicated, you will need to either:
  
  Change the GTIN of the new item you are trying to create to a unique value.
  If the existing GTIN is incorrect, you may need to correct or delete the duplicate entry, ensuring that it does not affect other processes.
  
  
  Data Cleanup: If duplicates were created during data migration, consider running a data cleanup process to remove or consolidate duplicate entries.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support articles for more detailed steps on handling GTINs and material master data.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM01 (Create Material), MM02 (Change Material), and MM03 (Display Material) for managing material master data.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to GTIN handling in your version of SAP.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to view and modify material master data, as restrictions may prevent you from resolving the issue.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
