• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_EAGLT007 - More than one material found for EAN &1 ?

  The SAP error message W_EAGLT007 ("More than one material found for EAN &1") typically occurs in the context of handling materials and their associated European Article Numbers (EANs) in the SAP system. This error indicates that the system has found multiple materials associated with the same EAN, which can lead to ambiguity in processing.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate EANs: The primary cause of this error is that multiple materials in the system are assigned the same EAN. This can happen due to data entry errors, incorrect material master data maintenance, or issues during data migration.
  Incorrect Material Master Setup: If the material master records are not properly maintained, it can lead to multiple entries for the same EAN.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, it’s possible that duplicate EANs were not identified and resolved during the migration process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify Duplicate EANs:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to query the relevant database tables (e.g., MARA, MARC, or EAN-related tables) to find materials associated with the problematic EAN.
  You can run a report or a query to list all materials linked to the EAN in question.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master records for the materials associated with the EAN. You can do this using transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Identify which materials should retain the EAN and which should be modified or removed.
  
  
  
  Correct the Data:
  
  If duplicates are found, decide which material should keep the EAN and update or delete the others as necessary.
  Ensure that the EAN is unique for each material in the system.
  
  
  
  Implement Data Validation:
  
  To prevent future occurrences, consider implementing validation checks during data entry or migration processes to ensure that EANs remain unique.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations or settings that may affect EAN handling.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM03 (Display Material), MM02 (Change Material), and SE16 (Data Browser).
  Tables: Key tables to check include:
  
  MARA (General Material Data)
  MARC (Plant Data for Material)
  EAN-related tables (e.g., EANM, EANP)
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to EAN handling or material master data issues that may provide additional insights or solutions.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the W_EAGLT007 error and ensure that your material data is correctly maintained in the SAP system.
