• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SLS_LORD082 - EAN/UPC &1 of material &2 is not a unique main EAN/UPC ?

  The SAP error message SLS_LORD082 indicates that there is an issue with the EAN/UPC (European Article Number/Universal Product Code) associated with a material in the system. Specifically, the error states that the EAN/UPC for the specified material is not unique, which means that the same EAN/UPC is being used for multiple materials or is not properly defined in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate EAN/UPC: The most common cause of this error is that the same EAN/UPC code is assigned to more than one material in the SAP system.
  Incorrect Material Master Data: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the material master data where the EAN/UPC is defined.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, there may have been issues that led to duplicate EAN/UPC entries.
  Configuration Issues: The system configuration may not be set up to handle EAN/UPC codes correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Duplicates:
  
  Use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material) or MM02 (Change Material) to check the material master records for the specified EAN/UPC.
  You can also use transaction SE16N to query the EAN/UPC table (usually EAN11 or MARA) to find any duplicates.
  
  
  
  Correct the Data:
  
  If duplicates are found, you will need to either change the EAN/UPC for one of the materials or remove the duplicate entry.
  Ensure that each material has a unique EAN/UPC assigned.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Settings:
  
  Check the settings in the material master to ensure that the EAN/UPC is correctly configured.
  Make sure that the EAN/UPC is set as the main identifier for the material if that is the intended use.
  
  
  
  Data Migration Review:
  
  If the issue arose after a data migration, review the migration process to ensure that EAN/UPC codes were correctly imported without duplicates.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations or settings that may affect EAN/UPC handling.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM03, MM02, SE16N, and MM01 (Create Material).
  Tables: Key tables to check include:
  
  EAN11: Contains EAN/UPC data.
