• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_OUTBOUND130 - Material &1 / &2 of material group &3 ignored, as no EAN ist stored ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WES_OUTBOUND130 Material &1 / &2 of material group &3 ignored, as no EAN is stored
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs during outbound processing (e.g., delivery or shipping processes) when the system tries to handle a material that belongs to a certain material group, but no EAN (European Article Number, i.e., barcode) is maintained for that material in the system.
  
  Material &1: Material number
  &2: Plant or other identifier (depending on context)
  Material group &3: The material group to which the material belongs
  
  The system expects an EAN to be stored for the material to proceed with outbound processing, especially if the process involves barcode scanning or EAN-based identification. If the EAN is missing, the material is ignored in the outbound process, leading to this warning/error.
  
  Cause:
  
  The material master data does not have an EAN (barcode) maintained in the relevant view.
  The outbound process or interface requires EAN for materials in the specified material group.
  Possibly, the material group is configured to require EANs for outbound processing.
  The EAN might be missing in the Basic Data 2 view or in the EAN/UPC tab of the material master (transaction MM02/MM03).
  Could also be related to missing EAN in the plant-specific data or sales data, depending on configuration.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check and Maintain EAN for the Material:
  
  Use transaction MM03 to display the material master.
  Go to the Basic Data 2 tab or the EAN/UPC tab.
  Verify if an EAN is maintained.
  If missing, use MM02 to maintain the EAN for the material.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Verify Material Group Settings:
  
  Check if the material group requires EANs for outbound processing.
  This might be configured in custom settings or in the warehouse management/shipping configuration.
  
  
  
  Check Plant-Specific or Sales Data:
  
  Sometimes EANs are maintained per plant or sales organization.
  Verify if the EAN is maintained in the relevant organizational level.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Outbound Document:
  
  After maintaining the EAN, retry the outbound process.
  The material should no longer be ignored.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  EANs are critical for automated warehouse and shipping processes, especially when barcode scanning is involved.
  If your business process does not require EANs for certain materials, you may need to adjust the configuration to not require EANs for those material groups.
  The message is informational but indicates that the material was skipped, which could lead to incomplete deliveries or shipments.
  Check related SAP Notes or documentation if the problem persists.
