  The SAP error message:
  WGDS_CC_2012068 Mandatory field RETAILER is empty
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because a mandatory field named RETAILER is not filled in during a process related to SAP's Global Trade Services (GTS) or Trade Compliance functionalities. The system expects the RETAILER field to have a value, but it is currently empty or missing in the data being processed.
  The RETAILER field is typically required in scenarios involving trade compliance, customs declarations, or product classification where the retailer information is necessary for legal or business reasons.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Data Input:
  
  Verify the data source or input form where the RETAILER field should be populated.
  Ensure that the RETAILER field is filled with the correct retailer information before processing.
  
  
  
  Master Data Maintenance:
  
  If the RETAILER field is derived from master data (e.g., business partner, customer master, or product master), check that the relevant master data records have the RETAILER field maintained.
  Update the master data to include the retailer information if missing.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings:
  
  Review the configuration in SAP GTS or the relevant module to confirm that the RETAILER field is correctly mapped and mandatory where required.
  If the field is mandatory due to a business rule, ensure that the rule is correctly implemented and that users are aware of the requirement.
  
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Inform users about the necessity of filling the RETAILER field during data entry or transaction processing.
  
  
  
  Debugging / Logs:
