• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS055 - New maintenance of fiber compositions for textile products is not active ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS055: New maintenance of fiber compositions for textile products is not active
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the system is trying to use the new maintenance functionality for fiber compositions in textile products, but this functionality is not activated or enabled in the system. In SAP Textile and Apparel (IS-T), fiber composition data for articles can be maintained using either the old or the new method. If the system expects the new method but it is not activated, this error is triggered.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to activate the new maintenance of fiber compositions for textile products. This is typically done via customizing settings in the SAP system.
  Steps to activate the new maintenance:
  
  
  Go to SPRO (SAP Reference IMG):
  
  SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Logistics - General -> Material Master -> Basic Settings -> Fiber Composition -> Activate New Maintenance
  
  
  Activate the new maintenance:
  
  There is a specific customizing switch or indicator that enables the new maintenance of fiber compositions. Set this indicator to active.
  
  
  Check authorization and roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to maintain fiber compositions using the new method.
  
  
  Verify article master data:
  
  After activation, try maintaining the fiber composition again for the textile article.
