  Error Message
  WSTRN082:
  
  You cannot modify the prepack article &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you attempt to modify a prepack article in SAP Retail that is not allowed to be changed. Prepack articles are special articles that consist of a fixed set of components (e.g., sizes, colors) grouped together and managed as a single unit. SAP restricts modifications to these articles to maintain consistency and integrity of the prepack structure.
  Typical scenarios causing this error:
  
  Trying to change master data fields of a prepack article that are locked for editing.
  Attempting to modify the article type or key attributes that define the prepack.
  Trying to change the prepack article in a way that conflicts with its predefined structure.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Article Type and Status
  
  Verify that the article is indeed a prepack article and understand which fields are allowed to be changed. Some fields are locked for prepack articles.
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction or Process
  
  Modifications to prepack articles often require specific transactions or processes. For example, changes to the prepack components or structure should be done via the prepack maintenance transactions (e.g., WPM1, WPM2).
  
  
  Modify Components Instead of Prepack Article
  
  If you need to change sizes, colors, or quantities, modify the components of the prepack rather than the prepack article itself.
  
  
  Check Authorizations
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to modify prepack articles or their components.
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation or Support
  
  If unsure, refer to SAP Retail documentation on prepack articles or contact SAP support for guidance.
