  SAP Error Message:
  WGDS_ENH_EMPTIES011
  
  Text: You excluded GTIN &1 which is subline of GTIN &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) or SAP EWM (Extended Warehouse Management) when you try to exclude a GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) that is a subline or child of another GTIN (the parent GTIN). In other words, the system detects a hierarchical relationship between GTINs, where one GTIN is considered a subline (variant, packaging level, or component) of another GTIN.
  
  The system does not allow excluding a subline GTIN if the parent GTIN is still included or if the exclusion violates the hierarchical integrity.
  This is often related to product hierarchies, packaging structures, or trade item relationships maintained in the system.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  GTIN &1 = The GTIN you are trying to exclude (subline GTIN).
  GTIN &2 = The parent GTIN (main line GTIN).
  The system prevents exclusion of the subline GTIN because it is linked to the parent GTIN, and excluding it might cause inconsistencies in product or packaging data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check GTIN Hierarchy:
  
  Review the relationship between the GTINs in the product master or packaging material master.
  Identify the parent-child relationship between GTINs.
  
  
  
  Exclude Parent GTIN First:
  
  If you want to exclude the subline GTIN, you may need to exclude the parent GTIN (&2) first.
  Ensure that excluding the parent GTIN does not violate any business rules or processes.
  
  
  
  Adjust Exclusion Logic:
  
  Modify your exclusion criteria or logic to handle GTIN hierarchies properly.
  If you are using custom enhancements or user exits, check the code that handles GTIN exclusions.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Verify that the GTIN data and packaging structure are consistent and correctly maintained.
  Correct any inconsistencies in the GTIN master data.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to GTIN handling and exclusion in your SAP module (GTS, EWM, or SD).
  Sometimes, SAP provides patches or corrections for known issues.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  GTIN (Global Trade Item Number): A unique identifier for trade items, used globally for product identification.
  Packaging Hierarchy: GTINs can represent different packaging levels (e.g., individual item, box, pallet).
  SAP Modules: This error is common in SAP GTS (Global Trade Services) and SAP EWM where GTINs are used for customs, compliance, and warehouse management.
  Enhancements/User Exits: Custom logic in enhancements might affect GTIN exclusion behavior.
  Transaction Codes:  
  
  /SCWM/MAT1 (EWM Material Master)  
  /SAPSLL/GTIN (GTIN maintenance in SAP GTS)  
  MM02 (Material Master)  
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WGDS_ENH_EMPTIES011 indicates that you cannot exclude a GTIN that is a subline of another GTIN without first addressing the parent GTIN. To resolve this, review and adjust the GTIN hierarchy and exclusion logic accordingly.
