  SAP Error Message:
  WGDS_ENH_EMPTIES010 – "You cannot exclude the base GTIN &1"
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) or SAP S/4HANA when you attempt to exclude or deactivate the base GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) for a product. The base GTIN is the primary identifier for a product and is essential for product master data consistency and compliance processes. Excluding or removing the base GTIN is not allowed because it is the fundamental reference for all related GTINs (such as packaging levels, variants, or alternative GTINs).
