  Text:
  
  If you specify a season, you also have to specify a season year.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you enter a season in a transaction or master data maintenance (such as in article master, assortment, or assortment planning) but do not specify the corresponding season year. In SAP Retail and Fashion Management, when you assign a season to an article or assortment, the system requires both the season and the season year to uniquely identify the time frame.
  
  The season alone is not sufficient because seasons repeat every year (e.g., Spring 2023, Spring 2024).
  The system needs the season year to avoid ambiguity and to correctly process planning, assortment, or article data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  When entering or maintaining data where a season is specified, always enter the corresponding season year.
  Check the input screen or data fields for the season year and fill it in accordingly.
  If you are using a custom transaction or interface, ensure that both fields (season and season year) are passed and validated.
  If the season year field is missing or not visible, check the configuration or screen layout to enable it.

  Assortment planning and management  
  Fashion management modules where seasonality is relevant  
  
  
  Configuration:  
  
  Seasons and season years are usually maintained in customizing under Retail ? Master Data ? Seasons.  
  Season year is typically a 4-digit year (e.g., 2023).  
  
  
  Impact:  
  
  Without specifying the season year, the system cannot correctly assign or plan articles for the correct season period.  
  This can lead to errors in assortment planning, forecasting, and reporting.
