  In SAP Retail (especially in Assortment Planning and Store/Distribution Center assignments), assortments are used to control which products are available at which stores or DCs. Deleting an assortment that is still linked or assigned to stores or DCs can cause inconsistencies or affect replenishment, planning, or reporting processes.

  The assortment was deleted manually or via a batch job.
  The assortment was deleted without first removing or reassigning it from the affected stores or DCs.
  Data inconsistency or incomplete cleanup after assortment deletion.
  The system is warning that the deletion affects downstream processes or master data related to the store and DC.
  
  
  Impact:
  
  The store &2 and DC &3 may lose the product assortment definition.
