• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_ENH119 - Languages are not used uniquely ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WGDS_ENH119: Languages are not used uniquely
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when the system detects that the same language key is assigned multiple times in a context where each language should be unique. Typically, this happens during the enhancement or customization of SAP Global Data Synchronization (GDS) or related master data processes where language-dependent texts or descriptions are maintained.
  For example, if you are maintaining descriptions or texts for a material, customer, or any master data object in multiple languages, and the same language code appears more than once in the data set, the system throws this error to prevent ambiguity.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During data upload or synchronization involving multilingual texts.
  When enhancing or customizing GDS or master data objects with language-dependent fields.
  When importing or maintaining data via BAPIs, IDocs, or custom programs that handle language-specific entries.
  During validation checks in the SAP GDS or master data governance processes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Data for Duplicate Language Entries:
  
  Review the data set or input where the error occurs.
  Ensure that each language key (e.g., EN, DE, FR) appears only once.
  Remove or consolidate duplicate entries for the same language.
  
  
  
  Correct the Source Data:
  
  If the data comes from an external system or file, correct the source to avoid duplicates.
  If the data is manually entered, verify the entries before saving.
  
  
  
  Enhancement or Custom Code Review:
  
  If the error arises from custom enhancements or user exits, check the logic that processes language-dependent data.
  Make sure the code does not insert or process duplicate language keys.
  
  
  
  Use SAP Standard Tools:
  
  Use transaction codes like MM02 (for materials), BP (for business partners), or relevant master data transactions to verify language entries.
  Use SAP standard reports or tools to check for duplicate language entries.
  
  
  
  Data Cleansing:
  
  If the system already contains duplicates, perform data cleansing to remove or merge duplicate language entries.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Message Class: WGDS_ENH (related to GDS enhancements)
  Typical Transactions: GDS-related transactions, master data maintenance transactions.
  SAP Notes: Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WGDS_ENH119 for specific patches or corrections.
  BAPI/IDoc: When using BAPIs or IDocs for data transfer, ensure the language-dependent segments do not contain duplicates.
  Master Data Governance (MDG): In MDG scenarios, this error can occur during data validation steps.
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WGDS_ENH119 Languages are not used uniquely indicates duplicate language entries in a data set where each language should be unique. The solution is to identify and remove duplicate language keys in the data, correct source data, and review any custom code or enhancements that handle language-dependent data.
