  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC682: Review the prepack material(s), they contain invalid components
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when a prepack material (a material that is a packaging of several components sold or managed as a single unit) contains components that are considered invalid in the context of the system's configuration or master data. Specifically, the system detects that one or more components assigned to the prepack material do not meet the criteria for valid components, which can be due to:
  
  Components not being properly maintained in the material master.
  Components not assigned to the correct BOM (Bill of Materials).
  Components that are flagged as deleted, blocked, or inactive.
  Components that do not belong to the allowed material types or categories for prepack components.
  Incorrect or missing configuration in the prepack setup (e.g., in variant configuration or packaging instructions).
  Components that violate business rules or validations set up in the system (e.g., invalid batch status, plant assignment, or sales unit).
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error WRF_APC682, follow these steps:
  
  
  Review the Prepack Material BOM:
  
  Go to transaction CS03 (Display BOM) or CS02 (Change BOM).
  Check the components assigned to the prepack material.
  Verify that all components are valid, active, and correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Use MM03 to review the component materials.
  Ensure that the components are not flagged for deletion or blocked.
  Confirm that the components have the correct material type and sales unit.
  
  
  
  Validate Prepack Configuration:
  
  If variant configuration or packaging instructions are used, verify that the components comply with the configuration rules.
  Check if any user-exits or validations are implemented that restrict certain components.
  
  
  
  Correct or Remove Invalid Components:
  
  If any component is invalid, either correct its master data or remove it from the prepack BOM.
  Add valid components as necessary.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Prepack Material:
  
  After corrections, try to process the prepack material again (e.g., in sales order, delivery, or production).
  
  
  
  Check Customizing and User Exits:
  
  If the error persists, check if there are any custom validations or user-exits (e.g., in SD or PP modules) that enforce component validity.
  Adjust or debug these as needed.
