  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC119: Prices cannot be analyzed because material &1 is not a generic material
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during price analysis or price determination processes in SAP, particularly in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or Variant Configuration (VC) when the system expects a generic material but encounters a non-generic (specific) material.
  
  Generic materials in SAP are materials that represent a group or class of materials rather than a specific individual material. They are often used in variant configuration or pricing scenarios where the system needs to analyze or determine prices based on a generic reference.
  The error indicates that the system tried to perform price analysis on a material that is not flagged or defined as generic, hence it cannot proceed with the price analysis logic designed for generic materials.
  
  
  When does this happen?
  
  During price analysis in Variant Configuration (VC) or APO
