• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_SUBSCRIPTION034 - You can't use GTIN and classification at the same time for '&' ?

  The SAP error message WGDS_SUBSCRIPTION034 indicates that there is a conflict in the data configuration for a product where both the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) and classification data are being used simultaneously. This is not allowed in the context of the specific configuration or process you are working with.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises in scenarios where:
  
  A product is being defined or processed with both a GTIN and a classification system (like a product hierarchy or category).
  The system is set up in such a way that it does not allow the use of both identifiers for the same product, which can lead to ambiguity in product identification.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Product Data: Check the product master data to see if both GTIN and classification data are assigned. You will need to decide which one to keep based on your business requirements.
  
  
  Remove Conflicting Data:
  
  If you decide to use GTIN, remove the classification data from the product.
  Conversely, if you want to use classification, ensure that the GTIN is not assigned to the product.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If your business process requires both identifiers, you may need to review the configuration settings in SAP to see if there is a way to allow both. This may involve consulting with your SAP administrator or a technical consultant.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Check SAP documentation or help resources for any specific guidelines related to the use of GTIN and classification in your version of SAP.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
