• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS048 - Only one fiber is allowed as '&1' ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS048 Only one fiber is allowed as '&1'
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in SAP Apparel and Footwear (AFS) or Fashion Management (FMS) modules when defining or maintaining article master data, specifically related to the fiber composition of an article.
  
  The system expects only one fiber entry for a particular fiber type or characteristic.
  The error is triggered when multiple fiber entries are assigned where only a single fiber is allowed.
  For example, if the article's fiber composition screen or data structure expects only one fiber of a certain type (e.g., main fiber), but multiple fibers are entered or maintained, the system throws this error.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  In the article master data, fibers are used to describe the material composition.
  Certain screens or fields are designed to accept only one fiber entry (e.g., the primary fiber).
  The error message indicates that the user tried to enter more than one fiber where only one is permitted.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Fiber Entries:
  
  Go to the article master data maintenance transaction (e.g., MM01, MM02 with AFS/FMS enhancements or specific AFS article maintenance transactions).
  Navigate to the fiber composition screen or tab.
  Verify the number of fiber entries for the fiber type indicated by the message parameter &1.
  
  
  
  Remove Extra Fibers:
  
  If multiple fibers are entered where only one is allowed, delete the extra fiber entries.
  Ensure only one fiber is maintained for the fiber type or characteristic in question.
  
  
  
  Validate Fiber Types:
  
  Confirm that the fiber types and their allowed quantities are consistent with the business rules and SAP configuration.
  If the business requires multiple fibers, check if the configuration or master data setup needs adjustment to allow multiple fibers.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If the error persists and multiple fibers are indeed required, check the customizing settings in SAP AFS/FMS under fiber management.
  Adjust the settings if necessary to allow multiple fibers for the relevant fiber type.

  Notes:  
  
  This error is a validation check to ensure data consistency.
  Fiber composition is critical for product classification, costing, and compliance.
  Always ensure fiber data aligns with business and legal requirements.
