• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS082 - Material &1/component &2: key fields of fiber code &3 are not unique ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS082 Material &1/component &2: key fields of fiber code &3 are not unique
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when the system detects duplicate entries for the fiber code key fields in the context of a material and its component. Specifically, the fiber code (a classification or characteristic related to the material/component) is expected to be unique for each combination of material and component, but the system found multiple entries with the same fiber code key fields.
  In other words, the uniqueness constraint on the fiber code key fields is violated because there are two or more records with identical key values for the same material and component.
  Typical Scenario:
  
  When maintaining or creating material master data or BOM (Bill of Materials) components that include fiber codes.
  When entering or updating fiber-related classification data or characteristics.
  When the system tries to save or validate data and finds duplicate fiber code entries.
  
  Cause Details:
  
  Duplicate entries in the fiber code table or related classification tables.
  Data inconsistency due to manual data entry or incorrect data migration.
  Missing or incorrect validation logic in custom developments or user exits.
  Possibly a bug or missing configuration in the fiber code management process.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Identify Duplicate Entries:
  
  Use transaction SE16/SE16N or SE11 to check the relevant tables where fiber codes are stored (e.g., custom tables or standard classification tables).
  Look for entries with the same material, component, and fiber code key fields.
  
  
  
  Remove or Correct Duplicates:
  
  Delete or correct the duplicate entries to ensure uniqueness.
  If duplicates are needed for some reason, check if the key fields need to be extended or adjusted to allow differentiation.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code / User Exits:
  
  If the error occurs during a custom process, review the code to ensure it properly checks for uniqueness before saving.
  Implement or fix validation logic to prevent duplicates.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run data consistency reports or tools provided by SAP or your implementation team to detect and fix inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to this error message or fiber code management.
  Apply any relevant patches or corrections.
  
  
  
  Configuration Check:
  
  Verify the configuration related to fiber codes in the classification system or material master.
  Ensure that the key fields are correctly defined and enforced.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Tables to check: Depending on your system and customization, fiber codes might be stored in classification tables (e.g., AUSP, CABN, CAWN) or custom Z-tables.
  Transactions: 
  
  SE16/SE16N for table data display.
  MM02/MM03 for material master data.
  CS02/CS03 for BOM components.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Search for notes related to fiber code uniqueness or classification inconsistencies.
  Customization: Fiber code might be part of a custom classification or characteristic setup; check with your functional team.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Description
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  Duplicate fiber code key fields for the same material and component violate uniqueness.
  
  
  Effect
  System throws error WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS082 and prevents saving or processing the data.
  
  
  Solution
  Identify and remove/correct duplicates; check and fix validation logic; verify configuration.
  
  
  Related Info
  Check classification tables, material/component data, custom code, and SAP Notes.
