• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_COMMON001 - No numeric country code found for &1 ?

  The SAP error message:
  WGDS_COMMON001 No numeric country code found for &1
  typically occurs in the context of SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) or other SAP modules dealing with country codes and international data processing.
  
  Cause
  
  The system is trying to find a numeric country code corresponding to a given alpha (ISO) country code or country name.
  The input value (represented by &1 in the message) does not have a corresponding numeric country code maintained in the system.
  This can happen if:
  
  The country code is missing or incorrectly maintained in the relevant customizing tables.
  The country code is not recognized by the system because it is outdated, incorrect, or not part of the standard ISO list.
  The integration or data exchange process is passing an invalid or unexpected country code.
  
  
  
  
  Where is the numeric country code maintained?
  
  Numeric country codes are usually maintained in table T005U (Country Codes: Numeric and Alpha Codes).
  The system uses this table to map between alpha (2-character) country codes and numeric (3-digit) country codes.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the country code passed in the error message (&1):
  
  Identify which country code is causing the issue.
  
  
  Verify the country code in table T005U:  
  
  Use transaction SE16N or SE11 to view table T005U.
  Check if the alpha country code exists and if it has a corresponding numeric country code.
  
  
  
  Maintain missing numeric country codes:  
  
  If the numeric code is missing, maintain it in customizing.
  Use transaction SPRO ?
  
  IMG ? Logistics General ? Business Partner ? Basic Settings ? Country ? Define Country Codes  
  Or directly maintain the country codes in the relevant customizing node.
  
  
  
  Correct the input data:  
  
  If the country code is invalid or incorrect in the master data or interface, correct it to a valid ISO alpha country code.
  
  
  
  Check for notes or patches:  
  
  Sometimes, this error can be caused by missing SAP Notes or patches, especially if new countries or codes have been introduced.
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WGDS_COMMON001 or country code issues.

  Alpha-2 code (e.g., US, DE, FR)
  Numeric code (e.g., 840 for US, 276 for DE, 250 for FR)
  
  
  
  Impact:
