  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTRN003 - Prepack &1 does not exist ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WSTRN003 Prepack &1 does not exist


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs when the system tries to reference a Prepack (a predefined packaging unit or packaging specification) identified by the name or code &1 (which will be replaced by the actual Prepack ID in the message), but it cannot find this Prepack in the system.

    Possible causes include:

    • The Prepack master data has not been created or maintained in the system.
    • The Prepack ID used in the transaction or configuration is incorrect or misspelled.
    • The Prepack was deleted or is inactive.
    • The Prepack is not assigned or available in the relevant plant or warehouse.
    • There is a mismatch in the packaging configuration or integration settings.

    Where does this error typically occur?

    • During outbound delivery processing.
    • When creating or processing handling units or packaging specifications.
    • In Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) scenarios.
    • During packing or repacking processes.
    • In sales order or delivery document processing if packaging instructions are involved.

    Solution / How to fix:

    1. Check Prepack Master Data:

      • Go to transaction /SCWM/PRPACK (in EWM) or the relevant transaction in your SAP system to maintain Prepack master data.
      • Verify if the Prepack ID mentioned in the error exists.
      • If it does not exist, create the Prepack with the required packaging specifications.
    2. Verify Prepack Assignment:

      • Ensure the Prepack is assigned to the correct plant, warehouse number, or storage location as per your business process.
      • Check if the Prepack is active and valid for the current date.
    3. Check Configuration:

      • Review the packaging instructions or packaging specifications in the sales order, delivery, or warehouse process.
      • Confirm that the Prepack ID used in the configuration or master data matches the existing Prepack.
    4. Correct the Prepack ID in Documents:

      • If the Prepack ID is manually entered in sales orders or deliveries, correct it to a valid Prepack.
      • If the Prepack is determined automatically, check the determination logic or user-exits/BAdIs that might influence the Prepack selection.
    5. Check for Transport or System Issues:

      • If the Prepack was recently created in a development or quality system but not transported to production, transport the relevant master data.
      • Check for any inconsistencies or missing data in the system.

    Additional Information:

    • Prepack refers to a packaging unit that contains a fixed quantity of a product, often used to simplify packing and shipping.
    • In SAP EWM, Prepack master data defines how products are packed into handling units.
    • The error message text is from the SAP standard message class WSTRN (Warehouse Management).
    • You can look up the message in transaction SE91 by entering message class WSTRN and message number 003 to see the exact text and documentation.
    • If you are using custom developments or enhancements, check if any user-exits or BAdIs related to packaging are causing incorrect Prepack references.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error WSTRN003 Prepack &1 does not exist
    Cause Prepack ID referenced does not exist in the system or is inactive
    Solution Create or activate the Prepack master data; verify and correct Prepack ID in documents and configuration
