  SAP Error Message:
  WSTRN004 Prepack &1 is already posted and cannot be deleted
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to delete a Prepack (a predefined package or set of materials) that has already been posted (i.e., the document or transaction related to the Prepack has been finalized and recorded in the system). Once a Prepack is posted, it becomes part of the official inventory or production records, and SAP does not allow its deletion to maintain data integrity and audit trail.

  Deleting a posted Prepack would cause inconsistencies in inventory, costing, or production data.
