  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS050 - Fiber code &1 is already used as an ISO code, or the reverse ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS050: Fiber code &1 is already used as an ISO code, or the reverse


    Cause:

    This error occurs when there is a conflict between fiber codes and ISO codes in the system. Specifically:

    • The fiber code you are trying to assign or create is already being used as an ISO code.
    • Or, conversely, the ISO code you are trying to assign is already being used as a fiber code.

    In SAP Textile or Fashion Management modules (such as SAP Apparel and Footwear Solution - AFS), fiber codes and ISO codes must be unique and not overlap because they represent different classification systems or coding standards.


    Explanation:

    • Fiber Code: A code used internally to identify fiber types in the system.
    • ISO Code: A standardized code (often following ISO standards) used to classify fibers or materials.

    The system enforces uniqueness to avoid confusion and data integrity issues.


    Solution:

    1. Check Existing Codes:

      • Verify the fiber codes and ISO codes already maintained in the system.
      • Use transaction codes or tables related to fiber and ISO codes (e.g., tables like /AFS/FIBER or /AFS/ISO_CODE depending on your system).
    2. Identify the Conflict:

      • Find out which code is causing the conflict.
      • Determine if the code should be a fiber code or an ISO code.
    3. Correct the Code:

      • If the code is mistakenly assigned as both fiber and ISO code, decide which classification it should belong to.
      • Change or delete the incorrect assignment.
      • If necessary, create a new unique code for either fiber or ISO.
    4. Consult Master Data Governance:

      • Ensure that master data creation and maintenance processes prevent such overlaps.
      • Implement validations or checks during data entry.

    Related Information:

    • This error is common in SAP Apparel and Footwear Solution (AFS) or Textile Management where fiber and material classifications are critical.
    • Proper master data governance and clear coding standards help prevent such conflicts.
    • If you have custom developments or interfaces importing fiber or ISO codes, check them for data consistency.
    • SAP Notes or OSS messages related to fiber and ISO code management might provide additional guidance.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error Fiber code &1 is already used as an ISO code, or the reverse
    Cause Duplicate usage of the same code as both fiber and ISO code
    Solution Identify and correct the conflicting code; ensure unique assignment for fiber and ISO
    Module SAP Apparel and Footwear Solution (AFS), Textile Management
    Prevention Master data governance, validation during data entry

    If you need help with specific transactions or tables to check, or how to correct the codes, please provide your SAP system version or module details.
