• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC821 - No stores assigned to assortment(s) ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC821 No stores assigned to assortment(s)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Retail (usually in Assortment Planning or related Retail modules) when the system tries to process or plan assortments but finds that no stores have been assigned to the assortment(s) in question. Essentially, the assortment exists, but it is not linked to any store(s), so the system cannot proceed with planning or execution steps that require store assignment.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Assortment: A defined set of products planned for sale.
  Store assignment: Linking assortments to specific stores where the assortment will be valid or sold.
  If no stores are assigned, the system cannot determine where the assortment applies, leading to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign Stores to the Assortment(s):  
  
  Go to the Assortment Planning transaction or master data maintenance.
  Check the assortment(s) mentioned in the error.
  Assign the relevant store(s) to the assortment(s).
  
  
  
  Verify Store Assignment:
  
  Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/ASSORT or relevant Retail Assortment Planning transactions.
  Ensure that the store assignment is active and valid for the planning period.
  
  
  
  Check Assortment and Store Master Data:
  
  Confirm that the stores exist and are active.
  Confirm that the assortments are correctly defined and active.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Planning or Process:
  
  After assigning stores, re-execute the process that triggered the error.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common during assortment planning, allocation, or replenishment processes.
  It may also appear during integration between SAP Retail and SAP APO (Advanced Planning and Optimization) if assortments are not properly assigned to stores.
  Proper store assignment is crucial for assortment-based planning and reporting.
