• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTRN034 - Assortment &1 is not global ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTRN034 - Assortment &1 is not global
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to use or assign an assortment that is not defined as a global assortment in a context where a global assortment is required. In SAP Retail, assortments can be either global or local (store-specific). Certain processes or transactions require the assortment to be global to ensure consistency across multiple stores or organizational units.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Assortment: A collection of products grouped for a specific purpose, e.g., a seasonal assortment or a promotional assortment.
  Global Assortment: Available and valid across the entire organization or multiple stores.
  Local Assortment: Valid only for a specific store or location.
  
  When the system expects a global assortment but finds a local one, it throws the WSTRN034 error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Assortment Definition:
  
  Go to the assortment master data (transaction code: WAS1 or via SAP Retail menu).
  Verify if the assortment &1 (the one mentioned in the error) is marked as global.
  
  
  
  Change Assortment to Global (if appropriate):
  
  If the business process requires a global assortment, change the assortment type to global.
  This can be done by editing the assortment master data and setting the appropriate flag or organizational assignment.
  
  
  
  Use a Global Assortment:
  
  If the current assortment is local and should remain so, then use a different assortment that is global for the process or transaction.
  
  
  
  Check Organizational Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the assortment is assigned to the correct organizational units (e.g., sales organizations, distribution channels) that require global validity.
  
  
  
  Consult Business Requirements:
  
  Sometimes, the error indicates a mismatch between business requirements and system configuration. Confirm with business users whether the assortment should be global or local.
