  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS049: ISO code &1 can be allocated only once
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign the same ISO country code more than once to an article or material in the system. The ISO code is meant to be unique per article in the context where it is used (e.g., country-specific data, country of origin, or country-specific article attributes). The system enforces this uniqueness to avoid data inconsistencies.
  For example, if you are maintaining country-specific data for an article and you try to assign the same ISO country code twice, the system will throw this error.
  
  Where it typically occurs:
  
  Article master data maintenance (e.g., in SAP Retail or SAP Fashion Management)
  Country-specific data screens or tabs
  When maintaining country-specific attributes or classifications for an article
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check existing entries:
  
  Review the article master data or the relevant country-specific data screen to see if the ISO code in question is already assigned.
  
  
  Remove duplicate entries:
  
  If the ISO code is assigned more than once, delete or correct the duplicate entry.
  
  
  Assign unique ISO codes:
  
  Ensure that each ISO country code is assigned only once per article or per relevant data set.
  
  
  Data consistency check:
  
  If the error persists, run consistency checks or validations on the article master data to identify duplicates.
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  
  ISO code format: The ISO code usually refers to the two-letter or three-letter country codes defined by ISO 3166.
  
  
  Customization: In some SAP Retail or Fashion Management scenarios, the system may have custom validations or enhancements that enforce this uniqueness.
  
  
  Transaction codes:  
  
  MM02 (Change Material)  
  WRF1 (Article master maintenance in SAP Retail)  
  Other country-specific data maintenance transactions
