• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTRN005 - Select at least one prepack article ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTRN005 - Select at least one prepack article
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Retail or SAP Wholesale Distribution scenarios when you are trying to process a transaction (such as a transfer order, picking, or goods issue) involving prepack articles, but no prepack article has been selected or specified in the process. Prepack articles are articles that are grouped or packed together in predefined quantities (e.g., a pack of 6 shirts).
  The system expects at least one prepack article to be selected or entered because the transaction involves handling prepacks, but none was chosen, leading to this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During picking or transfer order processing involving prepacks.
  When creating or processing outbound deliveries or goods issues for prepacks.
  When the system expects a prepack article selection but the user has not selected any.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select at least one prepack article:
  
  Ensure that you select or enter at least one prepack article in the relevant screen or transaction step. This might be in the picking list, transfer order, or delivery document.
  
  
  Check the article master data:
  
  Verify that the articles involved are correctly flagged and maintained as prepacks in the article master (Retail article master or material master). If the article is not maintained as a prepack, the system might not allow processing.
  
  
  Review the transaction steps:
  
  Follow the correct process flow for handling prepacks. For example, in picking or transfer order creation, ensure that the prepack articles are included in the selection or picking list.
  
  
  User training:
  
  Make sure users understand that when dealing with prepacks, they must explicitly select or confirm the prepack articles to proceed.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Prepack articles: Articles grouped in fixed quantities for sales or distribution.
  SAP Retail / Wholesale Distribution: This error is common in SAP Retail or Wholesale Distribution modules where prepacks are frequently used.
  Transaction codes: The error might appear in transactions like LT03 (Create Transfer Order), VL01N (Create Outbound Delivery), or during picking processes.
  Configuration: Prepack handling must be configured correctly in SAP Retail settings, including article master data and warehouse management settings.
  
  
  Summary:
  WSTRN005 means the system expects at least one prepack article to be selected for the transaction, but none was selected. To fix it, select the required prepack article(s) before proceeding.
