  Error Message
  WRF_APC317: No assortment defined for distribution center &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to process or execute a function (often related to assortment planning, allocation, or distribution) for a specific distribution center, but no assortment has been defined or assigned to that distribution center in the system.
  In SAP Retail (especially in the Assortment Planning and Allocation components), assortments represent the set of products assigned to a particular location (store, distribution center, etc.). If the system cannot find an assortment for the distribution center in question, it raises this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During assortment planning or allocation runs.
  When generating or processing distribution orders.
  When executing reports or planning functions that require assortment data for a distribution center.
  When the distribution center is referenced but no valid assortment assignment exists.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Assortment Assignment:
  
  Verify if an assortment has been created and assigned to the distribution center.
  Use transaction codes related to assortment maintenance, such as:
  
  /SAPAPO/ASSORT (Assortment Maintenance in APO)
  Or in ECC Retail, check the assortment assignments via relevant IMG or master data transactions.
  
  
  
  
  
  Create or Assign Assortment:
  
  If no assortment exists, create a new assortment for the distribution center.
  Assign the assortment to the distribution center.
  Ensure the assortment is valid for the relevant time period.
  
  
  
  Check Validity Dates:
  
  Make sure the assortment assignment is valid for the date on which the process is running.
  Sometimes the assortment exists but is not valid for the current date.
  
  
  
  Check Distribution Center Master Data:
  
  Confirm that the distribution center is correctly maintained and active.
  Ensure that the distribution center is linked to the correct assortment planning area or planning objects.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Process:
  
  After correcting the assortment assignment, re-run the process that triggered the error.
