  SAP Error Message: WSTRN083
  Text: You cannot delete the prepack article &1
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to delete a prepack article (a material that is defined as a prepack) in SAP. Prepack articles are special materials that consist of a fixed combination of other materials (components) sold together as a package. Because of their structure and dependencies, SAP restricts deletion of these articles directly to maintain data integrity.
  In other words, the system prevents deletion because the material is flagged as a prepack article, and deleting it could cause inconsistencies in sales documents, inventory, or master data.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Prepack articles are created and maintained in SAP Retail or Fashion Management modules.
  They are linked to component articles and have special handling in sales and inventory processes.
  Deleting a prepack article directly is not allowed if it is still active or linked to other data.
