Trace of a morphism of sheaves
$begingroup$
$underline {Background}$:Suppose $X$ be a scheme and $mathcal F$ and $mathcal G$ are two sheaves of $mathcal O_X$ modules.
Also assume that $exists ${U}$ $ a cover of $X$ by open sets such that each $mathcal F(U),mathcal G(U)$ are finitely free $mathcal O(U)$ modules.
Let $ exists phi:mathcal Ftomathcal G$ a sheaf of $mathcal O_X$ modules.
$underline {Question}$:what is the meaning of the statement "trace$phi=0$"
$underline {Guess}$:Does it mean for all open set $V$ of $X$
$phi(V):mathcal F(V)to mathcal G(V)$ has trace of the matrix of $phi(V)=0$
But this makes sense only for $V=U$ because,we only have $phi(U)$ is a morphism between 2 finitely free $mathcal O(U)$ modules,and hence its matrix w.r.to canonical bases exists.
So,I would like to know the appropriate definition of trace being $0$ and any text which mentions it clearly.
Any help from anyone is welcome.

As you say, the trace of $phi$ is only meaningful when $mathcal{G}=mathcal{F}$. Slightly more generally, though it still makes sense to talk about the trace of $phi$ being $0$ if you have a chosen isomorphism $mathcal{G}congmathcal{F}otimesmathcal{L}$ for some line bundle $mathcal{L}$. Indeed, picking a local trivialization of $mathcal{L}$, we get local isomorphisms $mathcal{G}congmathcal{F}$ which we can use to compute the trace. Now of course the trace will depend on the trivialization of $mathcal{L}$ chosen, but changing the trivialization just multiplies the isomorphism by some invertible section of $mathcal{O}_X$, and so will not change whether the trace is $0$.
Another way to see it is that a morphism $mathcal{F}tomathcal{F}otimesmathcal{L}$ is equivalent to a morphism $mathcal{L}^veetomathcal{F}otimesmathcal{F}^vee$. There is a canonical "trace" map $mathcal{F}otimesmathcal{F}^veetomathcal{O}_X$ (just the evaluation pairing) and so we can compose to get a morphism $mathcal{L}^veetomathcal{O}_X$ (or equivalently, a section of $mathcal{L}$) which we can call the "trace" of $phi$.

@ Eric Wolfsey,If I understand you correctly then are you trying to say the following? $phi|_U:mathcal{F}|_Utomathcal {F}|_U$ with $U$ local trivialization of $mathcal L$ $Rightarrow phi|_Uinmathcal End(mathcal F)(U))$ $Rightarrow tr(U)(phi|_U)in mathcal O(U)$ and we mean by tr$phi=0$ that all $ tr(U)(phi|_U)=0$ for all member of that trivialization.So it does not depend upon the trivialization of $mathcal F$

Changing the trivialization of $mathcal{L}|_U$ just amounts to multiplying the chosen isomorphism $mathcal{G}|_Utomathcal{F}|_U$ by some invertible element $ainmathcal{O}(U)$. So, when we turn $phi|_U$ into a matrix, we just multiply that matrix by the scalar $a$, which multiplies its trace by $a$. Since $a$ is invertible, this does not change whether the trace is $0$.

@Eric Wolfsey ,Actually ,I have seen it in a handwritten note where $mathcal F$ is a vector bundle and $mathcal G$ is some line bundle tensor $mathcal F$ .But,I have generalized those properties in question to get a meaning of trace map being $0$ in a general situation

You have generalized way too far! It was very very crucial that $mathcal{G}$ was a line bundle tensor $mathcal{F}$, in order for the trace being $0$ to be meaningful.

I'm not an expert, but a priori I wouldn't expect the notion of trace to make sense except when $mathcal{G}=mathcal{F}$, $mathcal{F}$ locally finite free, in which case I believe one globalizes the trace for finitely generated projective modules.

@Eric wolfsey,even when in that special situation the problem that I mentioned in the question arises.So even in that special case how one makes sense of tr$phi=0$
