• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS065 - Value &1 is not allowed for indicator "Animal Origin" ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS065: Value &1 is not allowed for indicator "Animal Origin"
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when an invalid or unauthorized value is entered or passed for the indicator "Animal Origin" in the article master data or related screens. The "Animal Origin" indicator typically refers to whether the material/article contains or is derived from animal products, which is important for regulatory, quality, or compliance reasons (e.g., food safety, pharmaceuticals).
  The system expects a predefined set of allowed values (usually a fixed domain or data element with a value range). If a value outside this allowed set is entered, the system throws this error.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Manual entry of an invalid value in the "Animal Origin" field.
  Data migration or interface programs passing incorrect values.
  Custom validations or enhancements enforcing strict value checks.
  Missing or incorrect configuration of allowed values in the domain or customizing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Allowed Values:
  
  Identify the domain or data element associated with the "Animal Origin" field.
  Use transaction SE11 to check the domain's fixed values or value table.
  Confirm which values are allowed.
  
  
  
  Correct the Input Value:
  
  If entering data manually, ensure you select or enter a valid value from the allowed list.
  If the value comes from an interface or upload, correct the source data to comply with allowed values.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration (if needed):
  
  If the business requires additional values, these must be added to the domain's fixed values or value table.
  This requires transport requests and should be done carefully to avoid inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or Validations:
  
  Review any user exits, BAdIs, or validations that might restrict values for this field.
  Adjust or enhance the logic if the business rules have changed.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks or reports to find other articles with invalid values.
  Correct them accordingly.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Field/Domain: The "Animal Origin" indicator is often linked to a domain with fixed values like 'X' for yes, blank or 'N' for no, or specific codes representing types of animal origin.
  Regulatory Compliance: This field is important in industries like food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, where animal-derived ingredients must be tracked.
  Transactions: The error can appear in article master maintenance transactions such as MM01/MM02 (Material Master), or in industry-specific article management screens.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to article master data validation or industry-specific solutions (e.g., SAP IS-H, SAP IS-Food).
