  SAP Error Message:
  WGDS_PROCESS092 Ean_upc_altunit error - EAN can't be determined.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the processing of goods movements or delivery documents when the system tries to determine the EAN (European Article Number) or UPC (Universal Product Code) for an alternative unit of measure but fails to find a valid EAN.
  Specifically, the system attempts to find an EAN for the material in the alternative unit of measure (alt. unit), but no EAN is maintained or the EAN maintained is not valid for the given unit of measure.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP, materials can have multiple units of measure (base unit, alternative units).
  EANs are often maintained per material and per unit of measure.
  When a delivery or goods movement involves an alternative unit, the system looks for the EAN assigned to that material and that specific unit.
  If the EAN is missing or incorrectly maintained for the alternative unit, the system cannot determine the EAN and throws this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check EAN Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction MM02 (Change Material).
  Enter the material number.
  Navigate to the EAN/UPC tab.
  Verify if an EAN is maintained for the alternative unit of measure.
  If missing, maintain the correct EAN for the alternative unit.
  
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure Consistency:
  
  Ensure that the EAN is assigned to the correct unit of measure.
  The EAN must correspond exactly to the alternative unit used in the delivery or goods movement.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Verify that the alternative unit of measure is correctly defined in the material master.
  Use transaction MM03 to check the units of measure.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing (if applicable):
  
  In some cases, the determination of EANs might be influenced by custom logic or enhancements.
  Review any user exits or BAdIs related to EAN determination.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Document:
  
  After maintaining the correct EAN, try to reprocess the delivery or goods movement.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common in industries where barcodes and scanning are heavily used, such as retail or logistics.
  Proper maintenance of EANs per unit of measure is critical for barcode scanning and automated processing.
  If multiple alternative units are used, ensure EANs exist for all relevant units.
  Sometimes, the error can also occur if the system is configured to require EANs for certain processes but the master data is incomplete.
