This error indicates that the GTIN you are trying to assign to a material is already in use for another material or unit of measure (UoM).
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate GTIN Assignment: The GTIN you are trying to assign is already linked to another material in the system.
  Incorrect Material or UoM: The GTIN might be correctly assigned to a different material or unit of measure, leading to a conflict.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Assignments:
  
  Use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material) or MM02 (Change Material) to check the material that is currently using the GTIN.
  Verify if the GTIN is indeed assigned to another material or UoM.
  
  
  
  Change GTIN:
  
  If the GTIN is already in use, consider using a different GTIN for the new material or UoM.
  
  
  
  Remove Existing Assignment:
  
  If the GTIN is no longer needed for the existing material, you can remove it from that material (if applicable) using transaction MM02.
  
  
  
  Consult with Business Process Owners:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of changing or removing GTIN assignments, consult with relevant stakeholders or business process owners to ensure compliance with business rules.
