  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS023
  
  Text: The "Main Assignment" indicator will be set for node &
  
  Cause:
  This message typically appears in the context of SAP Variant Configuration (LO-VC) or Classification when working with configurable materials or articles. The system informs you that the "Main Assignment" indicator is being set automatically for a particular node (the placeholder "&" will be replaced by the node name or number).
  
  The "Main Assignment" indicator is used to mark a specific node in a configuration model as the primary or main node.
  This usually happens when you assign characteristics or dependencies to nodes, and the system needs to identify which node is the main one for configuration purposes.
  The message is informational but can appear as a warning if the system is making an automatic assignment that you might want to verify.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During the creation or maintenance of configuration models (e.g., in transaction CU50, CU51, or CU60).
  When assigning characteristics or dependencies to nodes in the configuration profile.
  When the system detects that no main assignment has been set explicitly, it sets it automatically for a node.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the node indicated in the message: Check if the node for which the "Main Assignment" indicator is set is indeed the correct main node for your configuration.
  Explicitly set the main assignment if needed:
  
  Use transaction CU50 (Change Configuration Profile) or CU51 (Change Object Dependencies) to explicitly set or change the main assignment indicator for the correct node.
  Check your configuration model:
  
  Ensure that the structure of your configuration model is correct and that the main node is properly defined.
  If the automatic assignment is correct:
  
  You can safely ignore this informational message.
  If the message appears unexpectedly or causes issues:
  
  Review your configuration steps or consult SAP Notes related to variant configuration.
