  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS022
  
  The nodes of category & & have been assigned several times
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Retail (usually in the Article Master or Assortment Management context) when the system detects that nodes (e.g., articles, article categories, or assortment nodes) belonging to a particular category have been assigned multiple times to the same category or hierarchy level. Essentially, the system expects unique assignments of nodes to categories, but duplicates have been found.
  This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect data maintenance where the same article or node is assigned multiple times to the same category.
  Data upload or migration errors where duplicate entries were created.
  Inconsistent hierarchy or category assignments in the article master or assortment.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to identify and remove the duplicate assignments:
  
  
  Check the Category Assignments:
  
  Use transaction codes related to article master or assortment management (e.g., WRT_ARTICLE, WRT_CATEGORY, or relevant customizing transactions).
  Review the category nodes and their assigned articles or sub-nodes.
  
  
  
  Identify Duplicates:
  
  Run reports or queries to find duplicate assignments of nodes to the same category.
  You can use standard SAP reports or custom queries to list all assignments and filter duplicates.
  
  
  
  Remove Duplicate Assignments:
  
  Manually delete the duplicate entries in the category assignment.
  If duplicates were created during data upload, correct the source data and re-upload.
  
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Consistency:
  
  Ensure that the category hierarchy is consistent and does not contain circular or duplicate references.
  
  
  
  Reprocess or Save Again:
  
  After cleaning duplicates, try to save or process the article/category data again.
