3334486 - Unable to Find Line Item of UoM Characteristics of the Material Master Data to read/update GTIN

Symptom

You have created a custom solution and extended the Material master Business Object to read/update the GTIN element for each line item of the UoM Characteristics tab.

But you are unable to find the required Item Node, which allows you to Read/Insert a value into the GTIN field for each line item where UoM is not NULL.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Product Data workcente
  2. Search ProductID
  3. Edit and View All
  4. Go to UoM Characteristics tab
  5. You can see Line Item GTIN

Loop through the Unit of Measure Characteristics tab in the Material Master
The field GTIN (GlobalTradeItemNumber) is not available to be inserted under any of the Nodes
EndLoop

 

Cause

 You are using incorrect node.

Resolution

To consume GTIN standard field, you need to loop over GLOBAL_TRADE_ITEM_NUMBER node instead of Unit of Measure Characteristics tab because in the backend the GTIN is present in that node and not in UoM Characteristics tab node.
