  Assign Distribution Center to Assortment:
  
  Assign the appropriate distribution center(s) to the assortment.
  This is usually done in the customizing or master data maintenance for assortments.
  The assignment ensures that the system knows where the assortment is distributed from.
  
  
  
  Verify Distribution Center Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the distribution center(s) assigned are active and correctly maintained.
  Check if the DC is valid for the relevant time period.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  In Retail Logistics or Assortment Planning customizing, verify the settings related to distribution centers and assortments.
  Ensure that the distribution center assignment is consistent with the business process.
