  Error Message
  WTADDI423: Additionals cannot be assigned to a prepack
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to assign additional items (such as additional costs, surcharges, or other additional components) to a prepack in SAP Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  
  A prepack is a predefined packaging unit that contains a fixed assortment of products.
  SAP does not allow additional items (like additional charges or components) to be assigned directly to a prepack because a prepack is treated as a single, indivisible unit.
  Additionals are typically meant to be assigned to individual items or handling units, not to a prepack as a whole.
  
  
  When does this happen?
  
  During packing or handling unit creation, if you try to add additional items to a prepack.
  When processing deliveries or warehouse tasks involving prepacks and additionals.
  In scenarios where the system checks the assignment of additionals and detects an invalid assignment to a prepack.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix
  
  
  Do not assign additionals to prepacks:
  
  Review your packing or handling unit assignment process.
  Ensure that additionals are assigned only to individual items or handling units, not to prepacks.
  
  
  
  Adjust packing strategy:
  
  If you need to include additional costs or items, assign them to the individual components inside the prepack rather than the prepack itself.
  Alternatively, handle additionals outside the prepack context (e.g., on the delivery or invoice level).
  
  
  
  Check configuration:
  
  Verify your packing instructions and warehouse process settings to ensure that additionals are not configured to be assigned to prepacks.
  Consult your WM/EWM configuration for handling units and additionals.
  
  
  
  Custom development or user-exit:
  
  If your business process requires additionals on prepacks, you may need a custom solution or enhancement to handle this scenario, as standard SAP does not support it.
