• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WE067 - Current EAN will be deleted; see long text ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WE067: "Current EAN will be deleted; see long text":
  
  Error Message: WE067
  Text: Current EAN will be deleted; see long text
  
  Cause:
  This message typically occurs during the processing of IDocs related to material master data (e.g., message type MATMAS) or vendor/customer master data when handling EAN (European Article Number) or GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) information.
  
  The system is informing you that the current EAN (barcode number) assigned to a material or business partner will be deleted.
  This usually happens when the incoming IDoc contains instructions to delete or replace an existing EAN.
  The message is a warning or information that the existing EAN record will be removed as part of the update.
  It can also occur if the EAN is being changed or if the IDoc segment for EAN is empty or marked for deletion.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During inbound IDoc processing for material master (MATMAS) or vendor/customer master updates.
  When the EAN/GTIN data segment (e.g., E1MARAM, E1MARAM_EAN) in the IDoc indicates deletion or no EAN is provided.
  When the system detects that the current EAN stored in SAP will be removed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the IDoc Data:
  
  Review the inbound IDoc segments related to EAN (e.g., E1MARAM_EAN).
  Verify if the EAN segment is empty or marked for deletion.
  Confirm if the EAN data in the IDoc is correct and intended to delete or update the EAN.
  
  
  
  Review Long Text:
  
  The message suggests checking the long text for more details.
  In transaction WE02 or WE05, open the IDoc and look at the message details and long text for additional information on which EAN is being deleted.
  
  
  
  Adjust the IDoc Data if Needed:
  
  If the deletion is unintended, correct the source data or the IDoc generation logic to include the correct EAN.
  If the deletion is intended, no action is needed other than confirming the change.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing and Master Data:
  
  Verify the material master or business partner master data for EAN assignments.
  Check if the EAN is maintained correctly in SAP (transaction MM02 for material master, or BP for business partner).
  
  
  
  Consult with Functional Team:
  
  Confirm with the business or master data team whether the deletion of the EAN is expected.
  Sometimes, EAN deletion is part of a master data cleanup or update process.
