EAN &1 does not correspond to the GTIN format and cannot be transferred

Message type: E = Error

Message class: CRM_PRODUCT_CUSTMSG - CRM Product - Customer-Specific Messages

Message number: 024

Message text: EAN &1 does not correspond to the GTIN format and cannot be transferred



What causes this issue?

EANs created for ERP materials do not comply with the GTIN format. These
EANs could therefore not be transferred to the CRM system.
EANs can only be transferred if they meet the following requirements
("GTIN format"):
The EAN does not contain any alphanumeric characters. It is numeric.
The EAN is 8, 12, 13, or 14 characters long. Any other lengths are not
supported. As the GTIN is a 14-digit number in the CRM system, the EAN
from ERP is padded with leading zeros.
