  The SAP error message:
  WGDS_CC_2012014: Error code is mandatory; specify a value
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a required error code field is left empty during a process in SAP, typically related to Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), especially in the context of Goods Movement, Goods Issue, or Goods Receipt processes.
  In particular, this message is often triggered when the system expects an error code to be entered for a certain transaction or document, but the user has not provided any value. The error code is mandatory for the system to proceed, as it helps classify or handle the error condition properly.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During posting of goods movements in WM/EWM.
  When handling exceptions or errors in warehouse processes.
  When confirming warehouse tasks or handling error handling in warehouse orders.
  When using custom or standard error handling procedures that require an error code input.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Provide the mandatory error code:
  
  Check the screen or transaction where the error occurs.
  Identify the field labeled "Error Code" or similar.
  Enter the appropriate error code as required by the process.
  
  
  
  Check configuration:
  
  Verify if the error codes are properly configured in the system.
  In EWM, error codes are maintained in customizing under:
  
  SPRO ? Extended Warehouse Management ? Cross-Process Settings ? Error Handling ? Define Error Codes
  
  
  Ensure that the relevant error codes exist and are assigned correctly.
  
  
  
  User training:
  
  Train users to always enter the required error code when prompted.
  If the error code is not known, consult the warehouse or process owner for the correct code.
  
  
  
  Check for custom enhancements:
  
  If this error appears unexpectedly, check if there are any user exits, BAdIs, or custom validations that enforce error code entry.
  Review the custom code to ensure it handles error codes properly.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Message Class: WGDS_CC
  This message is part of the standard SAP error handling in warehouse processes.
  The error code helps in categorizing and managing errors systematically.
  If the error code is not known, consult the SAP documentation or your SAP support team for the list of valid error codes.
