  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WE300 - ***------ Additional messages on EAN Customizing ---------------------*** ?

    The SAP error message:

    WE300 ***------ Additional messages on EAN Customizing ---------------------***

    is related to issues in the EAN (European Article Number) or GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) customizing settings within the SAP system, particularly in the context of IDoc processing or EDI (Electronic Data Interchange).


    Cause

    • The message WE300 is a general status message indicating that there are additional messages related to EAN customizing.
    • It usually appears during IDoc processing (e.g., inbound or outbound IDocs related to material master, deliveries, or orders) when the system checks the EAN/GTIN settings.
    • The root cause is often that the EAN/GTIN customizing is incomplete, inconsistent, or missing required entries.
    • For example:
      • Missing or incorrect EAN type definitions.
      • Missing mapping between EAN types and IDoc segments or fields.
      • Incorrect or missing configuration in the EAN/GTIN number assignment.
    • It can also occur if the system tries to validate or convert EAN numbers but the customizing for the relevant EAN types is not maintained.

    Solution

    1. Check the detailed messages:

      • The message WE300 is a container for additional messages. Look for the detailed messages that follow WE300 in the application log or IDoc status records.
      • These messages will give more specific information about what exactly is missing or incorrect in the EAN customizing.
    2. Review EAN/GTIN customizing:

      • Use transaction SPRO to navigate to the EAN customizing:
        SPRO -> Logistics - General -> Material Master -> EAN/GTIN -> Define EAN Types
      • Verify that all required EAN types are defined correctly.
      • Check the assignment of EAN types to the relevant IDoc segments or fields.
    3. Maintain EAN number assignment:

      • Ensure that the EAN number assignment is properly maintained for the relevant material types or business processes.
      • This can be done in:
        SPRO -> Logistics - General -> Material Master -> EAN/GTIN -> Assign EAN Number Types to Material Types
    4. Check IDoc segment mapping:

      • If the error occurs during IDoc processing, verify the mapping between EAN fields in the IDoc segments and the customizing.
      • Use transaction WE60 to check IDoc documentation and WE30 to check IDoc segments.
    5. Reprocess the IDoc or transaction:

      • After correcting the customizing, reprocess the IDoc or the transaction that triggered the error.
