• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC_INB054 - Creation of prepack not possible. No planned quantities on variant level ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC_INB054: Creation of prepack not possible. No planned quantities on variant level
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the creation of a prepack (a packaging unit consisting of multiple variants of a product) in SAP when the system cannot find any planned quantities at the variant level in the production or planning data.
  
  In SAP, a prepack typically involves multiple product variants combined into one package.
  The system expects planned quantities (e.g., from a production order, planned order, or demand forecast) for each variant included in the prepack.
  If no planned quantities exist for the variants, the system cannot create the prepack because it does not know how many of each variant to include.
  
  
  When does this happen?
  
  During production order creation or packaging proposal generation.
  When using Variant Configuration and Prepack functionality in SAP APO or ECC.
  When the planning run or demand planning has not generated planned quantities for the variants.
  When the prepack is created manually or automatically but the system cannot find variant-level planned quantities.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Planned Quantities:
  
  Verify that planned quantities exist for the variants involved in the prepack.
  Use transaction codes like MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) or COHV (Mass Processing of Production Orders) to check planned orders or production orders for the variants.
  If no planned quantities exist, create or adjust planned orders or production orders for the variants.
  
  
  
  Review Variant Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the variant configuration is correctly maintained.
  Check that the variants are correctly assigned to the prepack and that the BOM (Bill of Materials) and routing are properly set up.
  
  
  
  Check Prepack Setup:
  
  Verify the prepack definition in the system.
  Ensure that the prepack includes the correct variants and that the system is set to consider planned quantities at the variant level.
  
  
  
  Run Planning:
  
  Execute planning runs (e.g., MRP or SNP planning) to generate planned quantities for the variants.
  Confirm that the planning horizon and parameters cover the variants and quantities needed.
  
  
  
  Adjust Master Data:
  
  If variants are new or recently created, ensure that master data (material master, BOM, routing, variant characteristics) is complete and consistent.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message or prepack creation issues.
  Sometimes, patches or corrections are available.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Prepack in SAP: A prepack is a packaging unit that contains multiple variants of a product, often used in retail or fashion industries.
  Variant Configuration: Allows products with multiple characteristics (size, color, etc.) to be managed efficiently.
  Planning and Production Orders: Planned quantities must exist at the variant level to create production orders or prepacks.
  Transactions to check:
  
  MD04 - Stock/Requirements List
  COHV - Mass Processing of Production Orders
  CS03 - Display BOM
  CU50 - Variant Configuration
  MF50 - Planning Table
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WRF_APC_INB054 indicates that the system cannot create a prepack because there are no planned quantities for the variants included in the prepack. To resolve this, ensure that planned quantities exist at the variant level by running planning, checking master data, and verifying the prepack and variant configuration setup.
