• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS074 - Fiber code &1 is used more than once in textile component &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS074 Fiber code &1 is used more than once in textile component &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in the textile component of a material master or during textile-specific processing in SAP (often in the context of the Variant Configuration for Textile or Textile Management modules). The message indicates that the same fiber code has been entered multiple times for the same textile component, which is not allowed.
  In textile materials, each fiber code (representing a type of fiber, e.g., cotton, polyester) should be unique within a component to avoid ambiguity in fiber composition and related calculations.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Fiber code &1: The specific fiber code that has been duplicated.
  Textile component &2: The component (material or subcomponent) where the duplication occurs.
  
  SAP expects each fiber code to be unique per component to correctly calculate fiber composition percentages, costs, and other textile-specific attributes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the textile component data:
  
  Go to the material master or the textile component maintenance screen.
  Navigate to the fiber composition or fiber codes section.
  
  
  
  Identify duplicate fiber codes:
  
  Look for the fiber code mentioned in the error (&1).
  Verify if it appears more than once in the same component (&2).
  
  
  
  Remove or correct duplicates:
  
  If the fiber code is entered multiple times, consolidate the entries.
  Adjust the fiber percentages accordingly to reflect the correct composition.
  Ensure each fiber code appears only once per component.
  
  
  
  Save and reprocess:
  
  After correction, save the data.
  Retry the operation that triggered the error.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common during material master data creation or change in textile industries.
  Fiber codes are usually maintained in customizing under Textile Management or Variant Configuration.
  Proper fiber composition is critical for costing, quality control, and production planning in textile manufacturing.
  If you are unsure about fiber codes, consult your textile master data or configuration team.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Details
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  Duplicate fiber code entered in the same textile component.
  
  
  Effect
  SAP prevents saving or processing due to ambiguity in fiber composition.
  
  
  Solution
  Remove duplicate fiber codes; ensure each fiber code is unique per component.
  
  
  Module
  Textile Management, Variant Configuration (Textile).
