• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC812 - Set Assortm.Ratio/Putaway Distrib. indicator for no more than 1 record ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRF_APC812: Set Assortm.Ratio/Putaway Distrib. indicator for no more than 1 record
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign the Assortment Ratio or Putaway Distribution Indicator to more than one record in a context where only one record is allowed to have this indicator set. In other words, the system expects that only one record (e.g., one storage type, one bin, or one distribution key) can be marked with the Assortment Ratio or Putaway Distribution indicator, but multiple records have been flagged.
  This typically happens in the configuration or master data setup related to:
  
  Assortment ratios in warehouse management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM)
  Putaway strategies or putaway distribution settings
  Storage type or storage bin putaway rules
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  The Assortment Ratio or Putaway Distribution Indicator is used to define how goods are distributed or put away in the warehouse.
  The system requires that only one record per relevant grouping (e.g., per warehouse number, storage type, or putaway rule) can have this indicator set to avoid conflicts or ambiguous distribution logic.
  Having multiple records with this indicator set leads to confusion in the putaway process, so SAP enforces this restriction.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the records where the Assortment Ratio or Putaway Distribution Indicator is set.
  Check the configuration or master data (e.g., storage type putaway rules, assortment ratio settings, or putaway distribution keys).
  Ensure that only one record has the Assortment Ratio or Putaway Distribution Indicator set.
  If multiple records have this indicator, remove or reset the indicator from all but one record.
  Save the changes and reprocess the transaction.
  
  
  How to find and fix:
  
  Go to the relevant customizing or master data transaction, for example:
  
  SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management ? Strategies ? Putaway Strategies
  Or the transaction where you maintain assortment ratios or putaway distribution keys.
  
  
  Look for the entries where the Assortment Ratio or Putaway Distribution Indicator is set.
  Correct the entries so that only one record per grouping has the indicator.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is a validation check to maintain data consistency.
  It prevents ambiguous putaway or distribution logic that could cause warehouse process errors.
  If you are unsure which record should have the indicator, consult your warehouse process design or SAP WM/EWM consultant.
  Sometimes this error can appear during data migration or mass changes, so verify the data carefully.
