  The SAP error message:
  WS_INTRASTAT026: Country of origin not found for document &1, item &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the Intrastat data processing or reporting when the system cannot find the Country of Origin for a specific document item. Intrastat declarations require the country of origin for goods movements within the EU to correctly report trade statistics.
  The missing country of origin can be due to:
  
  The Country of Origin field is not maintained in the material master or the relevant document item.
  The country of origin is not determined or derived during the goods movement or invoice posting.
  Missing or incomplete configuration in the Intrastat setup or master data.
  The system expects the country of origin in a specific field (e.g., in the material master, sales document, or purchase document), but it is blank or incorrect.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Check the Country of Origin field in the material master (usually under the Foreign Trade: Import/Export view).
  If missing, maintain the correct country of origin in the material master using MM02.
  
  
  
  Check Document Item Data:
  
  Verify if the country of origin is maintained or derived in the sales/purchase document or goods movement.
  For sales documents, check the item details in VA03.
  For purchase documents, check in ME23N.
  
  
  
  Maintain Country of Origin in Intrastat Setup:
  
  Use transaction WE20 or OBXD to check Intrastat configuration.
  Ensure that the country of origin is correctly mapped and maintained in the Intrastat customizing.
  
  
  
  Check User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  If your system uses user exits or BAdIs to determine or fill the country of origin, verify that these are working correctly.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Document:
  
  After maintaining the country of origin, reprocess the Intrastat report or data extraction.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
