  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTADDI651 - EAN/UPC & not valid for material & ?

    The SAP error message:

    WTADDI651: EAN/UPC & not valid for material &

    typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Logistics Execution (LE) when you try to assign or use an EAN/UPC (European Article Number / Universal Product Code) that is not recognized or valid for the specified material.


    Cause

    • The EAN/UPC code you are trying to use or assign is not maintained or linked to the material master record in SAP.
    • The system checks the EAN/UPC against the material master data (usually in the Material Master > Basic Data 1 or Additional Data views or in the EAN/UPC tab).
    • If the EAN/UPC code is missing or incorrect for the material, the system throws this error.
    • This can happen during processes like:
      • Goods receipt or goods issue in WM.
      • Picking or packing processes where barcode scanning is involved.
      • Creating or changing delivery documents or transfer orders.
    • Sometimes, the error can also occur if the EAN/UPC is valid but assigned to a different material.

    Solution

    1. Check the EAN/UPC assignment in the Material Master:

      • Go to transaction MM02 (Change Material).
      • Enter the material number.
      • Navigate to the Additional Data tab or the EAN/UPC tab (depending on SAP version).
      • Verify if the EAN/UPC code in question is maintained for the material.
      • If not, add the correct EAN/UPC code(s) for the material.
    2. Verify the EAN/UPC code:

      • Ensure the barcode scanned or entered is correct and corresponds to the material.
      • Check for any typos or incorrect barcode formats.
    3. Check for multiple EANs:

      • If multiple EANs exist for a material, ensure the correct one is used in the process.
    4. Update or maintain EAN/UPC codes if missing:

      • Use transaction MM02 or MM01 (Create Material) to maintain EAN/UPC codes.
      • Alternatively, use transaction V-60 (EAN/UPC Maintenance) if available.
    5. Check integration settings:

      • If the EAN/UPC codes are maintained in a separate system or via interfaces, ensure the data is synchronized properly.
    6. If the error occurs during scanning in WM:

      • Check the warehouse number and storage type settings.
      • Verify if the scanned barcode is correctly mapped to the material in the warehouse management system.
