  SAP Error Message: W4084
  Message Text:
  
  & assortment is sold-to party in sales and distribution
  
  1. Cause
  This warning message occurs when an assortment (a special type of customer master record or a grouping of customers) is used as a sold-to party in a sales document or sales process in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD).
  
  In SAP SD, an assortment is typically used to group multiple customers or sold-to parties for reporting or pricing purposes.
  However, an assortment itself is not a valid sold-to party because it does not represent a single customer but a collection.
  The system detects that the sold-to party entered in the sales document is an assortment rather than an individual customer, which is not allowed.
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve this warning:
  
  Check the sold-to party number entered in the sales document or master data.
  Ensure that the sold-to party is a valid customer master record (i.e., an individual customer or company code customer), not an assortment.
  If you intended to use an assortment for pricing or reporting, use it in the appropriate fields or processes designed for assortments, not as a sold-to party.
  Correct the sold-to party in the sales document to a valid customer number.
  
  
  3. Related Information
  
  
  Assortments in SAP SD:
  
  Assortments are used to group customers for pricing, discounts, or reporting. They are maintained in transaction VK31 (Maintain Assortments) or related customizing.
  
  
  Customer Master Data:
  
  Sold-to parties must be valid customer master records created via transaction XD01/VD01 or similar.
  
  
  Sales Document Processing:
  
  The sold-to party is a key partner function in sales documents (e.g., sales order VA01). Using an assortment here is invalid.
  
  
  Message Class:
  
  This message usually belongs to message class W4 or similar, related to sales and distribution master data.
