  The SAP error message "STEP941 Create PNRL: prtype not found" typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when dealing with the creation of a PNRL (Purchase Requisition) or similar processes. The error indicates that the system is unable to find a specific "prtype" (purchase requisition type) that is required for the operation.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The most common cause of this error is that the purchase requisition type (prtype) has not been defined in the system. This could be due to a missing entry in the configuration settings for purchase requisition types.
  Incorrect Input: The input data provided during the creation of the PNRL may be incorrect or incomplete, leading the system to not recognize the specified prtype.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or create the specified prtype.
