Use
Procedure
You do not need to enter the EAN category if you assign the International Article Number (EAN) externally. In this case, the system determines the correct EAN category automatically.
If you want the system to assign the EAN (internal assignment), you enter an EAN category, but leave the EAN field blank.
If both the EAN field and the EAN category field contain values, the system assumes that you want to enter the EAN externally and that you have possibly entered an incorrect EAN category.
You can find out which EAN categories are suitable for internal number assignment by pressing F4.
