  The SAP error message /STTPEC/MC_MD063 UoM &1 is used for serialization. GTIN cannot be empty. typically occurs in the context of handling serialized materials in SAP, particularly when dealing with the management of goods that require unique identification through serialization.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure (UoM) Configuration: The error indicates that the Unit of Measure (UoM) being used is configured for serialization. This means that the system expects each item to have a unique identifier (GTIN - Global Trade Item Number).
  Missing GTIN: The error specifically states that the GTIN cannot be empty. This suggests that when trying to process a serialized item, the system is unable to find a GTIN associated with the item, which is mandatory for serialized products.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the affected material.
  Ensure that the GTIN is correctly maintained in the relevant views (usually in the Basic Data or Sales views).
  If the material is supposed to be serialized, ensure that the serialization settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Maintain GTIN:
  
  If the GTIN is missing, you will need to enter the GTIN for the material. This can typically be done in the material master under the relevant tab (e.g., Basic Data 1 or Sales Org Data).
  Ensure that the GTIN format is correct and complies with the standards required for your business processes.
  
  
  
  Review UoM Settings:
  
  Check the UoM settings in the material master to confirm that the UoM is indeed set up for serialization.
  If the UoM should not require serialization, consider changing the configuration.
  
  
  
  Check Serialization Configuration:
  
  Review the serialization settings in the system to ensure they are set up correctly for the materials you are working with.
  Ensure that the serialization profile is correctly assigned to the material.
