  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS072
  
  Text: Fiber code shares of component &1 are not sorted in descending order.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Retail (specifically in the Textile or Apparel industry solution) when the fiber composition shares of a material component are not maintained in descending order. 
  In SAP Apparel and Footwear (AFS) or Retail for Textile, materials often have fiber compositions defined as components with associated fiber codes and their percentage shares. The system expects these fiber shares to be sorted from the highest percentage to the lowest (descending order). If the shares are not sorted properly, the system throws this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Each material component can have multiple fiber codes with associated shares (percentages).
  The shares represent the fiber composition of the component.
  The system requires these shares to be sorted in descending order to ensure consistency and correctness in processing (e.g., labeling, reporting).
  If the shares are entered or maintained in random or ascending order, the system validation fails.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Fiber Composition Shares:
  
  Go to the material master or the relevant transaction where fiber composition is maintained.
  Review the fiber codes and their shares for the component mentioned in the error message (&1 will be replaced by the component identifier).
  
  
  
  Sort Shares in Descending Order:
  
  Rearrange the fiber shares so that the highest percentage fiber is listed first, followed by the next highest, and so on.
  For example, if the shares are 30%, 50%, 20%, reorder them to 50%, 30%, 20%.
  
  
  
  Save the Corrected Data:
  
  After sorting, save the data.
  Re-run the process that triggered the error to confirm the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This error is common during material master data maintenance or during article creation/maintenance in SAP Retail Textile.
  The fiber composition is often maintained in transactions like MM02 (Change Material) or specific Textile-related transactions.
  Proper fiber composition sorting is important for compliance with labeling regulations and for correct reporting.
  If you are using custom programs or interfaces to upload fiber compositions, ensure the data is sorted before upload.
  Check SAP Notes or documentation related to Textile and Apparel solutions for any patches or updates if the error persists despite correct sorting.
