  SAP Error Message: WGDS_PROCESS074 - Mat_id_sender is initial
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  The error message WGDS_PROCESS074 with the text "Mat_id_sender is initial" typically occurs in the context of SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) or SAP Warehouse Management (WM) when processing data related to material identification.
  
  Mat_id_sender refers to the Material ID of the sender in a data exchange or process.
  The error indicates that the Material ID of the sender is missing (initial/empty) in the data being processed.
  This usually happens during inbound or outbound processing of material master data, IDocs, or data exchange interfaces where the material ID is expected but not provided.
  
  
  Common Causes:
  
  Missing Material ID in the source data: The material ID field is not populated in the sending system or interface.
  Incorrect or incomplete mapping: The interface or middleware mapping does not correctly map the material ID field.
  Data corruption or incomplete data transfer: The data packet or IDoc does not contain the material ID.
  Configuration issues: The system expects a material ID but the sender system or process does not provide it.
  Custom code or user-exits: Custom enhancements might clear or fail to populate the material ID.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check the source data:
  
  Verify that the material ID is correctly maintained and sent from the source system.
  If using IDocs or interfaces, check the inbound data for the presence of the material ID.
  
  
  
  Review interface mapping:
  
  Ensure that the material ID field is correctly mapped and transferred.
  Check middleware or PI/PO mappings if applicable.
  
  
  
  Debug or analyze the process:
  
  Use transaction codes like WE02 or WE19 to analyze IDocs.
  Check the segment containing the material ID and confirm it is not empty.
  
  
  
  Check configuration:
  
  Verify that the system configuration expects the material ID and that the sender system complies.
  In GTS, check the relevant customizing for material master data exchange.
  
  
  
  Correct or enhance custom code:
  
  If user-exits or BAdIs are involved, ensure they do not clear or fail to set the material ID.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the data:
  
  After correcting the data or configuration, reprocess the transaction or IDoc.
