  SAP Error Message:
  WS_INTRASTAT025 - Product description not found for document &1, item &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the Intrastat reporting process in SAP. Intrastat is used to collect statistics on the trade of goods between EU member states.
  The message indicates that for the specified document (&1) and item (&2), the system could not find a product description. This typically happens because:
  
  The material master record for the item does not have a description maintained in the language required for Intrastat reporting.
  The description might be missing in the language of the reporting country or the language set in the Intrastat configuration.
  The material might be missing or incorrectly linked in the document.
  The Intrastat reporting setup expects a description but none is available.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Description:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Enter the material number from the document/item.
  Check the Basic Data 1 or Basic Data 2 views for the material description.
  Ensure that the description exists in the language required for Intrastat reporting (usually the local language or English).
  
  
  
  Maintain Material Description in Required Language:
  
  If the description is missing in the required language, maintain it using transaction MM02 (Change Material).
  Go to the Basic Data views and add the description in the necessary language.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Check Intrastat Language Settings:
  
  Verify the language settings for Intrastat reporting in transaction WEIS or via the Intrastat customizing.
  Ensure the language corresponds to the language in which the material descriptions are maintained.
  
  
  
  Re-run Intrastat Report:
  
  After maintaining the descriptions, regenerate the Intrastat report.
  The error should no longer appear if the descriptions are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Intrastat reporting requires accurate and complete master data, including product descriptions, to comply with EU statistical requirements.
  The error message helps ensure that all items reported have meaningful descriptions for statistical authorities.
  If multiple languages are used in your company, ensure that descriptions are maintained in all relevant languages.
  Sometimes, custom developments or user exits might affect how descriptions are fetched; check with your SAP technical team if the problem persists despite correct master data.
