• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_OUTBOUND113 - No EANs could be defined for material &1 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WES_OUTBOUND113 No EANs could be defined for material &1
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs during outbound processing (e.g., delivery creation, shipping, or EDI outbound processing) when the system tries to determine the EAN (European Article Number, also known as GTIN - Global Trade Item Number) for a material but fails to find any valid EAN assigned to that material in the relevant master data.
  In other words:
  
  The system expects an EAN for the material to be used in outbound documents or messages, but no EAN is maintained or available for the material in the system.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  
  No EAN assigned to the material:
  
  The material master does not have any EAN/GTIN assigned in the relevant plant or sales organization.
  
  
  Incorrect or incomplete EAN assignment:
  
  The EAN might be assigned but not in the correct EAN type or for the correct organizational level.
  
  
  Missing or incorrect configuration in EAN assignment:
  
  The system might be looking for EANs in a specific way (e.g., specific EAN type or usage) but none match the criteria.
  
  
  Material master data inconsistencies:
  
  The material might be flagged for EAN usage but no EAN is maintained.
  
  
  Customizing or user-exit issues:
  
  Sometimes, custom logic or user-exits might influence how EANs are fetched and cause this error if no EAN is found.
  
  
  
  Where is the EAN maintained?
  EANs are maintained in the material master under:  
  
  Logistics ? General ? EAN/UPC (Transaction MM02 ? Basic Data 1 tab ? EAN/UPC field)  
  Or via transaction MM02 ? Additional Data ? EAN/UPC tab  
  Also, EANs can be maintained per plant or sales org depending on configuration.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Maintain EAN for the material:  
  
  Go to transaction MM02 (Change Material Master).  
  Navigate to the EAN/UPC tab.  
  Enter the correct EAN/GTIN for the material.  
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Check EAN type and usage:  
  
  Ensure the EAN is of the correct type (e.g., EAN 13, UPC) and is valid for the intended use (sales, shipping, etc.).
  
  
  
  Verify organizational level:  
  
  Make sure the EAN is maintained at the correct organizational level (plant, sales org) as required by your business process.
  
  
  
  Check configuration:  
  
  Review any custom logic or user-exits that might affect EAN determination.  
  Check if the system expects a specific EAN type or usage and adjust accordingly.
  
  
  
  If EAN is not required:  
  
  If your business process does not require EANs, check the configuration or process steps that enforce EAN usage and adjust them.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  
  Transaction to display EANs:
  
  Use MM03 to display the material master and check EANs.
  
  
  Relevant tables:  
  
  MARA (General material data)  
  MARC (Plant data for material)  
  MARM (Units of measure)  
  EAN data is stored in MARM and EANN tables.

  Impact:
  
  Without a valid EAN, outbound processes like shipping labels, EDI messages, or integration with external systems that require GTINs may fail.
