• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC670 - Assortment &1 is not a distribution center ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC670 Assortment &1 is not a distribution center
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when an assortment (or location) that is expected to be a distribution center in the system is not defined or flagged as such. In SAP Retail (especially in Assortment Planning and Distribution), certain processes require the assortment to be linked to a distribution center. If the system tries to process an assortment assuming it is a distribution center but finds it is not, this error is triggered.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The message indicates that the system expected the assortment (identified by &1) to be a distribution center.
  Distribution centers are specific locations or organizational units responsible for distributing goods.
  The assortment or location master data is missing the distribution center indicator or is not maintained correctly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Assortment/Location Master Data:
  
  Go to the relevant master data transaction (e.g., WMM4 for Assortment or OVX5 for Location).
  Verify if the assortment/location is maintained as a distribution center.
  Ensure the distribution center indicator is set correctly.
  
  
  
  Maintain Distribution Center Indicator:
  
  If the assortment is supposed to be a distribution center, update the master data to reflect this.
  If it is not supposed to be a distribution center, check the process or configuration that is calling this assortment as a distribution center and correct it.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration in Retail Logistics or Assortment Planning to ensure the correct assignment of distribution centers.
  Verify if the assortment is assigned to the correct distribution chain or distribution center.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks on location and assortment data.
  Correct any inconsistencies found.
