    Error Message

    WSTP003: EAN/UPC &1 does not exist

    • &1 is a placeholder for the actual EAN/UPC code that triggered the error.

    Cause

    This error occurs when the system tries to find or use a specific EAN (European Article Number) or UPC (Universal Product Code) in the SAP system, but the code does not exist in the relevant master data tables.

    Common scenarios include:

    • The EAN/UPC code has not been maintained or created in the system.
    • The EAN/UPC code is being referenced in a transaction (e.g., sales order, delivery, inventory management) but is missing in the material master or barcode master data.
    • The EAN/UPC code is incorrectly entered or mistyped.
    • The EAN/UPC code is not assigned to the material or plant in question.

    Where is the EAN/UPC stored in SAP?

    • EAN/UPC codes are typically maintained in the Material Master under the Basic Data 1 or Additional Data views.
    • They can also be maintained in the EAN/UPC master data table (e.g., table MARA, MARC, or EANLH depending on the SAP version and configuration).
    • Sometimes, EANs are maintained in the Barcode master data or via specific transaction codes.

    Solution

    1. Check if the EAN/UPC exists:

      • Use transaction MM03 (Display Material) to check if the EAN/UPC is assigned to the material.
      • Navigate to the Additional Data or Barcodes tab to verify the EAN/UPC.
      • Alternatively, use table browser (SE16/SE16N) to check tables like MARA, EANLH, or MARC for the EAN/UPC.
    2. Create or maintain the missing EAN/UPC:

      • If the EAN/UPC does not exist, maintain it using transaction MM02 (Change Material) or the relevant transaction for barcode maintenance.
      • Assign the EAN/UPC to the correct material and plant.
    3. Verify the input:

      • Ensure that the EAN/UPC code entered in the transaction is correct and matches the one maintained in the system.
      • Check for any leading/trailing spaces or incorrect characters.
    4. Check configuration:

      • If the system uses a custom barcode or EAN validation, verify the configuration in the logistics or sales modules.
      • Ensure that the EAN/UPC is valid for the specific sales organization, distribution channel, or plant.
    5. Re-run the transaction:

      • After maintaining the EAN/UPC, retry the transaction that caused the error.

      • MM03 – Display Material Master
      • MM02 – Change Material Master
      • SE16/SE16N – Data Browser to check tables
