• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTRN079 - Select a prepack line or quota scale ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTRN079 - Select a prepack line or quota scale
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Retail or SAP IS-Retail environments during the goods movement or sales order processing involving prepack articles. The system expects the user to specify either a prepack line or a quota scale for the prepack article, but neither has been selected or maintained.
  
  Prepack line: Defines the composition of a prepack (a set of articles packed together).
  Quota scale: Defines the distribution or quota of items within a prepack.
  
  If neither is selected, the system cannot determine how to handle the prepack article, leading to this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During sales order entry or delivery processing involving prepack articles.
  When the prepack article master data is incomplete or missing quota scale/prepack line assignment.
  When the user tries to process a prepack article without specifying the required details.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Prepack Article Master Data:
  
  Verify that the prepack article has a valid prepack line or quota scale assigned.
  Use transaction codes like WMME (Article Master) or relevant IS-Retail transactions to maintain prepack data.
  
  
  
  Maintain Quota Scale or Prepack Line:
  
  If missing, create or assign the appropriate quota scale or prepack line to the prepack article.
  Quota scales define how the prepack is split into individual articles.
  Prepack lines define the structure of the prepack.
  
  
  
  During Sales Order Entry:
  
  When entering a prepack article, ensure that the system prompts for or automatically selects the prepack line or quota scale.
  If manual selection is required, select the appropriate prepack line or quota scale.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Verify that the system configuration for prepack handling is correct.
  Check customizing settings in SAP Retail under Logistics ? Retail ? Master Data ? Article ? Prepack.
  
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Train users to select the correct prepack line or quota scale when processing prepack articles.

  Summary:
