  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ART_DISCONT030
  
  Text: Material list &1 has the status &2 (planned) for user &3
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs when a user tries to perform an action on a material list that is currently in a "planned" status. The system prevents certain operations on material lists that are not yet released or finalized. The status "planned" indicates that the material list is still in preparation or draft mode and has not been approved or activated for further processing.
  
  &1 = Material list number  
  &2 = Status (in this case, "planned")  
  &3 = User ID who is trying to perform the action
  
  
  Explanation:
  Material lists in SAP (such as BOMs, production versions, or other master data lists) often have lifecycle statuses like Planned, Released, or Obsolete. When a material list is in the "planned" status, it means it is not yet active or valid for production or procurement processes.
  The system restricts certain transactions (like usage in production orders, procurement, or other downstream processes) until the material list is released.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the status of the material list:
  
  Use the relevant transaction (e.g., CS03 for BOM display, or the specific transaction for the material list type) to verify the current status.
  
  
  Release the material list:
  
  If the material list is still in "planned" status and needs to be used, it must be released. This usually involves:
  
  Reviewing the material list for correctness.
  Changing the status from "planned" to "released" or "active" using the appropriate transaction (e.g., CS02 for BOM change and release).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorization to release the material list.
  
  
  
  Coordinate with responsible users:
  
  If you are not authorized to release the material list, contact the user or department responsible for maintaining and releasing material lists.
  
  
  Retry the operation:
  
  After the material list is released, retry the operation that triggered the error.
