  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS087
  
  Text: Enter all the four document values: no. &1, type &2, part &3, ver. &4
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to process or save an article or document in SAP (often in SAP Variant Configuration, Engineering Change Management, or Document Management System) and the system expects four specific document identification fields to be filled:
  
  Document Number (&1)
  Document Type (&2)
  Document Part (&3)
  Document Version (&4)
  
  If any of these four fields are missing or incomplete, the system throws this error to ensure that the document is fully and uniquely identified.
  
  Explanation:
  In SAP, documents (such as engineering drawings, specifications, or change documents) are often identified by a combination of these four fields. This combination ensures uniqueness and traceability. The system requires all four fields to be entered to link or reference the document correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Document Fields:
  
  Make sure that all four document fields (number, type, part, version) are entered completely and correctly in the relevant screen or input form.
  
  
  Verify Data Entry:  
  
  Document Number: The unique identifier of the document.  
  Document Type: The category/type of the document (e.g., DRW for drawing, SPEC for specification).  
  Document Part: A subdivision or part number of the document, if applicable.  
  Document Version: The version or revision of the document.
  
  
  
  Use Search Help:
  
  Use the F4 help (search help) on these fields to select valid entries from the system to avoid typos or invalid values.
  
  
  Check Customizing or Configuration:
  
  If this error appears unexpectedly, check if there are any custom validations or user exits that enforce this rule. Sometimes, custom code requires all four fields to be filled.
  
  
  Consult Document Management System (DMS):
  
  If you are working with DMS, ensure that the document exists in the system with all four fields maintained.
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is typically encountered in modules like SAP Variant Configuration (LO-VC), Engineering Change Management (ECR/ECO), or Document Management System (DMS).
  The message text uses placeholders (&1, &2, &3, &4) which are replaced at runtime with the actual values or field names.
  Ensuring complete document identification is critical for traceability, version control, and integration with other SAP processes.
  
  
  Summary:
