  Create or Update GTIN:
  
  If the GTIN is missing, you will need to create it. This can be done in the product master data maintenance screen.
  Ensure that the GTIN is correctly assigned to the product.
  
  
  
  Verify Input:
  
  Double-check the input for any typos or formatting issues. Ensure that the GTIN is entered in the correct format.
  
  
  
  Data Synchronization:
