• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS004 - The percentage fiber shares must be specified in descending order ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS004: The percentage fiber shares must be specified in descending order
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Textile or Fashion Management modules (such as SAP Apparel and Footwear Solution - AFS) when defining the fiber composition of a material/article. The system expects the fiber shares (percentages) to be entered in descending order (from highest to lowest percentage). If the fiber percentages are entered in a random or ascending order, the system triggers this error.
  For example, if you have fiber shares like:  
  
  Cotton 40%  
  Polyester 30%  
  Nylon 30%  
  
  This is valid because 40% > 30% = 30% (descending order). But if you enter:  
  
  Polyester 30%  
  Cotton 40%  
  Nylon 30%  
  
  The system will throw the error because 30% is not greater than 40%.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the fiber composition entries for the article/material.
  Rearrange the fiber shares in descending order based on their percentage values.
  Save the data again.
