  The SAP error message WC125 indicates that there is no European Article Number (EAN) maintained for a specific material in the sales unit for a given date. This error typically arises in scenarios where EANs are required for sales processes, such as when creating sales orders, deliveries, or during inventory management.
  Cause:
  
  Missing EAN: The primary cause of this error is that the EAN has not been maintained for the material in the system.
  Incorrect Sales Unit: The sales unit specified may not have an EAN assigned to it.
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master data may not be fully maintained, or the relevant views (like Sales Organization or Sales Data) may not have the necessary information.
  Date-Specific Issues: The error may also occur if the EAN is not valid for the specified date, possibly due to changes in the material master data over time.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain EAN in Material Master:
  
  Go to the Material Master (Transaction Code: MM02).

  If you are unsure about how to maintain the EAN or if there are specific business rules regarding EANs, consult with your organization's master data management team.
