Message text: Deletion of the only packaging assignment of article is not possible
You want to delete the last packaging assignment of the only article

packaging. Otherwise it must be selected for deletion entirely.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
If you want to delete all of the packagings for the article, execute
the "Select for deletion" function in the initial screen of the

deletion in the specified company code and country for the selected
sales unit. If you only want to replace the selected packaging with
another packaging, assign the new packaging first and then delete the
packaging assignment you have selected.
