  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS005 – Enter another component
  
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in SAP Variant Configuration or Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) scenarios when you are working with articles (materials) that have components assigned. The message indicates that the component you are trying to enter or assign is not valid in the current context—often because:
  
  The component is already assigned or used elsewhere and cannot be reused in the same way.
  The component does not meet the required criteria (e.g., wrong status, not released, or incompatible with the current article).
  The system expects a different component due to configuration or master data restrictions.
  There is a mismatch in the component selection due to variant configuration rules or dependencies.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Component Validity:
  
  Verify that the component you are trying to enter is valid, released, and active in the system.
  Ensure the component is not locked or restricted by status or master data settings.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration and Dependencies:
  
  Check the variant configuration model or
