• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS057 - No variant selected for copying of textile compositions ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS057 No variant selected for copying of textile compositions
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to copy textile composition data in the SAP system (typically in the Apparel and Footwear solution or Textile Management module), but no variant has been selected for the copying process. Variants in this context refer to predefined sets or templates that determine which textile composition data should be copied from one article to another.
  In other words, the system expects you to specify a variant (a selection or filter criterion) to control how textile composition data is copied, but this has not been done, leading to the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select a Variant:
  
  When copying textile compositions, ensure that you select a valid variant in the relevant screen or dialog box.
  The variant defines which textile composition data is to be copied and how.
  
  
  
  Create or Maintain Variants:
  
  If no suitable variant exists, create one using the variant maintenance transaction or within the textile composition copying function.
  Variants typically specify parameters such as composition types, percentages, or other textile-specific attributes.
  
  
  
  Check User Input:
  
  Verify that the user input screen for copying textile compositions is correctly filled.
  Make sure the variant field is not left blank.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Customizing:
  
  Check the customizing settings for textile composition copying to ensure variants are properly configured.
  Sometimes, variants are client-specific or require transport from development to production.

  Summary:
  
  Error: No variant selected for copying textile compositions.
