  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/EHS_DG_CHECK012 indicates that there is a missing gross mass for a specific item in the context of Dangerous Goods (DG) handling within the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS). This error typically arises when the system requires the gross mass of an item to ensure compliance with regulations regarding the transport of dangerous goods.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data: The gross mass for the item in question has not been entered in the material master or the relevant document (e.g., shipment, delivery).
  Incorrect Configuration: The system may not be configured correctly to pull the gross mass from the appropriate source.
  Data Transfer Issues: If data is being transferred from another system or module, there may be issues in the data transfer process that result in missing information.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master: 
  
  Go to the material master record for the item in question and ensure that the gross mass is filled in the relevant fields (usually in the Basic Data or Sales Org. Data views).
  If the item is a dangerous good, ensure that all necessary fields related to dangerous goods are also filled out.
  
  
  
  Update Shipment/Delivery:
  
  If the gross mass is not maintained in the shipment or delivery document, you can manually enter the gross mass for the item in the relevant document.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in SAP TMS to ensure that the system is set up to retrieve the gross mass correctly. This may involve reviewing the settings for dangerous goods management.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Perform a consistency check on the data to ensure that all required fields are populated correctly. This can often be done through transaction codes like MM03 for material master or VL03N for delivery.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help notes related to dangerous goods management and transportation management for any additional requirements or settings that may need to be adjusted.
  
  
  
  User Exit or BAdI:
  
  If the issue persists, consider implementing a user exit or Business Add-In (BAdI) to enforce the requirement for gross mass in specific scenarios.
