  Error Message
  WSTRN012: No prepack article is available for the allocation plan
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Retail (specifically in the allocation and replenishment processes) when the system tries to create or process an allocation plan that involves prepack articles, but it cannot find any prepack article linked or assigned to the allocation plan or the relevant article master data.
  Prepack articles are articles that are sold or allocated in predefined sets or packs (e.g., a pack of 3 T-shirts). The allocation plan expects these prepack articles to be defined so that the system can allocate stock accordingly.
  Common causes include:
  
  The prepack article is not maintained or assigned in the system.
  The allocation plan is referencing an article that should have a prepack but none exists.
  Missing or incorrect configuration in the article master data or allocation plan setup.
  The prepack article is not linked to the base article or the relevant assortment.
  The prepack article is not active or flagged correctly in the system.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, perform the following steps:
  
  
  Check Article Master Data:
  
  Verify that the prepack article exists in the system.
  Ensure that the prepack article is correctly linked to the base article.
  Check that the prepack article is active and flagged for allocation.
  
  
  
  Maintain Prepack Information:
  
  Use transaction WMME (Article Master) or relevant retail master data transactions to maintain prepack information.
  Ensure that the prepack article is assigned to the base article with correct quantities and units.
  
  
  
  Verify Allocation Plan Setup:
  
  Check the allocation plan to ensure it references the correct prepack article.
  Confirm that the allocation plan includes the prepack article in its assortment or article list.
  
  
  
  Check Assortment and Article Assignment:
  
  Make sure the prepack article is included in the assortment assigned to the allocation plan.
  Use transaction WAS1 or related assortment maintenance transactions.
  
  
  
  Run Consistency Checks:
  
  Run any available consistency or data validation reports to identify missing or inconsistent prepack assignments.

  After corrections, reprocess the allocation plan to confirm the error is resolved.
