SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WM - IS-R Assortments

• Message number: 198

• Message text: SOrg/DisChnl &/& Change assortment grade & using "Change"

What causes this issue?

You are attempting to change an assortment grade which already exists
for the distribution chain (SOrg/DisChnl). This is not possible using
the function "Create". The existing assortment grade is stored in
segment MVKE for each distribution chain and appears as the third
object named in the message.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If you wish to change the assortment grade you must use the function
"Change". To continue with the function "Create" you must enter an
assortment grade value other than the one displayed in the message.
You may find, however, that several different assortment grades have
already been defined for various distribution chains - then you will
only be able to work with the "Change" function.
