• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /STTPEC/INT_MSG210 - GLN for Vendor &1 is not maintained ?

  The SAP error message /STTPEC/INT_MSG210 indicating that "GLN for Vendor &1 is not maintained" typically arises in the context of using Global Location Numbers (GLNs) for vendors in the SAP system. This error suggests that the system is expecting a GLN to be associated with a specific vendor, but it has not been maintained in the vendor master data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing GLN: The primary cause of this error is that the GLN for the specified vendor (denoted by &1) has not been entered or maintained in the vendor master data.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that require a GLN for vendors, and if these settings are enforced, any vendor without a GLN will trigger this error.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, the GLN might not have been transferred correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain GLN in Vendor Master Data:
  
  Go to the vendor master data transaction (e.g., XK02 for changing vendor data).
  Enter the vendor number that is causing the error.
  Navigate to the relevant section (usually under the "Address" or "General Data" tab) where GLN can be maintained.
  Enter the GLN for the vendor and save the changes.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If you are an SAP administrator, check the configuration settings related to vendor master data to see if GLN is a required field.
  If necessary, adjust the configuration to either make GLN optional or ensure that all vendors have a GLN maintained.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  If the error occurs during a data upload or migration, validate the source data to ensure that GLNs are included for all vendors.
  Correct any discrepancies in the source data before re-uploading.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for any specific requirements or guidelines related to GLNs and vendor master data.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  GLN (Global Location Number): A unique identifier for locations, which is part of the GS1 system. It is used to identify physical locations such as warehouses, distribution centers, and vendors.
  Vendor Master Data: This is critical in SAP for managing supplier information, including payment terms, contact details, and compliance information.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as XK01 (Create Vendor), XK02 (Change Vendor), and XK03 (Display Vendor) for managing vendor data.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
