  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS077
  
  Text: Indicator "Animal Origin" is not set for textile component &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Textile and Apparel (often in the Fashion Management or Variant Configuration context) when the system expects the "Animal Origin" indicator to be set for a textile component, but it is missing.
  
  The "Animal Origin" indicator is a classification attribute used to specify whether a textile component is derived from animal sources (e.g., wool, silk, leather).
  Certain business processes, legal requirements, or product declarations require this indicator to be maintained for components classified as textiles.
  The error typically arises during article creation, change, or validation processes where the system checks for compliance with product classification rules or labeling requirements.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to set the "Animal Origin" indicator for the relevant textile component in the article master data.
  Steps:
  
  
  Identify the textile component:
  
  The error message will provide the component number or identifier (&1) that is missing the indicator.
  
  
  Go to the article master data maintenance:  
  
  Use transaction codes like MM42 (Change Material) or the relevant transaction in your SAP Fashion Management system.
  Navigate to the textile component details or classification data.
  
  
  
  Set the "Animal Origin" indicator:  
  
  Locate the field or characteristic related to "Animal Origin" in the component's data.
  This might be under classification data, material master views, or a specific textile component screen.
  Mark or select the indicator to specify that the component has animal origin.
  
  
  
  Save the changes:
  
  After setting the indicator, save the article/component data.
  
  
  Re-run the process:
  
  Retry the operation that triggered the error to confirm it is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Business Context:
  
  The "Animal Origin" indicator is important for compliance with labeling laws (e.g., textile labeling regulations, animal welfare standards) and for customer information.

  The indicator might be part of a classification system or a custom field configured in your SAP system. Check with your SAP Fashion Management or Textile solution consultant if you cannot find the field.
  
  
  Integration:
