• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EAN_UCC111 - Several vendor numbers found for this GLN ?

  The SAP error message EAN_UCC111 indicates that there are multiple vendor numbers associated with a specific Global Location Number (GLN) in the system. This can occur in scenarios where the GLN is used to identify a location or vendor, and the system finds more than one vendor linked to that GLN, leading to ambiguity.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: There may be multiple vendor master records in the system that are linked to the same GLN.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect or inconsistent data entry when creating vendor records can lead to multiple vendors being associated with the same GLN.
  Integration Issues: If the system is integrated with external systems (like EDI), there may be discrepancies in how GLNs are managed across systems.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify Duplicate Vendors: Use transaction codes like MK03 (Display Vendor) or XK03 (Display Vendor (Centrally)) to check the vendor records associated with the GLN. You can also use reports or queries to find all vendors linked to the GLN.
  
  
  Consolidate Vendor Records: If duplicates are found, determine which vendor record should be retained and consolidate the necessary information. You may need to delete or deactivate the duplicate vendor records.
  
  
  Correct Data Entry: Ensure that the data entry process for vendor records is standardized to prevent future duplicates. Implement validation checks to ensure that a GLN is not reused for multiple vendors.
  
  
  Review Integration Settings: If the issue arises from an integration with another system, review the settings and mappings to ensure that GLNs are correctly assigned to unique vendors.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific steps related to your version of SAP, as the process may vary.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  GLN (Global Location Number): A unique identifier for locations, often used in supply chain management.
  Vendor Master Data: The records in SAP that contain information about vendors, including their GLNs.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for vendor management, such as MK01 (Create Vendor), MK02 (Change Vendor), and MK03 (Display Vendor).
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or a consultant who specializes in SAP master data management for further assistance.
