• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS046 - No other fiber code can be maintained ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS046 – "No other fiber code can be maintained"
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in SAP Textile or Fashion Management modules (such as SAP IS-T or SAP Apparel and Footwear) when you try to maintain or add a fiber code to an article or material, but the system restricts the addition of multiple fiber codes.
  The underlying cause is usually related to business rules or configuration settings that limit the number of fiber codes allowed per article. For example:
  
  The article category or material type may be configured to allow only one fiber code.
  The system may enforce a rule that only a single fiber composition is permitted for certain articles.
  There might be a validation or user-exit/custom code that restricts multiple fiber codes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Article Category or Material Type Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration in IMG under the relevant Textile or Apparel module.
  Check if the article category or material type is set to allow only one fiber code.
  If business requirements allow multiple fiber codes, adjust the configuration accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review Fiber Code Maintenance Rules:
  
  Check if there are any validations, user-exits, or BAdIs implemented that restrict fiber code maintenance.
  If custom code is restricting multiple fiber codes, coordinate with your ABAP team to modify or enhance the logic.
  
  
  
  Business Process Review:
  
  Confirm with business users whether multiple fiber codes are allowed for the article.
  If only one fiber code is allowed by design, then the error is expected behavior, and no further action is needed.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation:

  Review SAP Help Portal documentation for Textile and Apparel Management regarding fiber code maintenance.

  Module: SAP IS-T (Industry Solution Textile), SAP Apparel and Footwear (AFS)
  Transaction Codes: Article maintenance transactions (e.g., WRF_ARTICLE, MM02 with textile-specific views)
  Configuration Path: IMG ? Logistics – General ? Textile and Apparel ? Article Management ? Fiber Codes
  User Exits/BAdIs: Check for enhancements in article or fiber code maintenance.
  
  
  Summary:
  The error "No other fiber code can be maintained" means the system does not allow adding more than one fiber code to the article due to configuration or business rules. To resolve, verify and adjust configuration or custom code if multiple fiber codes are required, or adhere to the single fiber code rule if that is the business requirement.
