Prepacks are predefined assortments of products packed together, often used in retail for efficient distribution.

  Data Inconsistency: The product or location data related to the prepack is inconsistent or not maintained correctly.
  Incorrect Input Data: The transaction or process is trying to determine a prepack number based on input data (e.g., product, location, or order data) that does not match any existing prepack definition.
