  SAP Error Message:

  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs during the processing of a PRICAT (Price Catalog) message in SAP, specifically when the system tries to assign or use a Rollout (a kind of distribution or assignment key) that is not valid or not assigned for the particular PRICAT item.
  
  Rollout in SAP APC (Assortment Planning and Control) context refers to a distribution or assignment of assortments or articles to certain sales organizations, plants, or other organizational units.
  The error indicates that the Rollout ID (represented by &1) being used or referenced is not valid or not assigned for the PRICAT item (represented by &2).
  This can happen if the Rollout master data is missing, incorrectly maintained, or if the PRICAT item does not belong to the assortment or distribution defined by the Rollout.
  
  
  Common Causes:
  
  Rollout master data missing or incomplete: The Rollout ID used in the PRICAT message is not maintained in the system or not assigned to the relevant organizational units.
  Incorrect assignment of Rollout to PRICAT item: The PRICAT item is not part of the assortment or distribution defined by the Rollout.
  Mismatch in organizational data: The plant, sales organization, or distribution channel in the PRICAT item does not match the Rollout assignment.

  Verify PRICAT Item Assignment:
  
  Confirm that the PRICAT item (&2) is part of the assortment or product group assigned to the Rollout.
  Check the material master and assortment assignments.
  
  
  
  Check Organizational Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that the plant, sales organization, and distribution channel in the PRICAT message correspond to those assigned in the Rollout.
  
  
  
  Update or Correct Rollout Assignments:
  
  If the Rollout is missing or incorrect, create or update the Rollout assignments to include the relevant PRICAT items and organizational units.
