• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS091 - Cannot save; PSM priority &1 already exists ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS091 Cannot save; PSM priority &1 already exists
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to save a PSM (Product Structure Management) priority that already exists in the system. The system enforces uniqueness for PSM priorities within a certain context (e.g., within a product or article), and attempting to create or assign a duplicate priority value causes this error.
  In other words, the priority number you are trying to assign to a PSM entry is already assigned to another entry, and the system does not allow duplicate priorities.
  
  Explanation:
  
  PSM Priority is used to define the order or precedence of product structure elements or screens.
  The priority must be unique to avoid conflicts in processing or display order.
  When saving changes, SAP checks if the priority number already exists.
  If it does, the system throws this error to prevent duplicate entries.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Priorities:
  
  Review the existing PSM priorities assigned to the article or product.
  Identify which priority numbers are already in use.
  
  
  
  Assign a Unique Priority:
  
  Change the priority number you are trying to save to a unique value that does not exist yet.
  Ensure that the priority sequence is logical and consistent.
  
  
  
  Adjust Priority Sequence if Needed:
  
  If you want to insert a new priority in between existing ones, you may need to renumber existing priorities to maintain uniqueness and order.
  
  
  
  Save Again:
  
  After assigning a unique priority, try saving the data again.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This error is common in modules dealing with product master data, product structure, or configuration screens where priority or sequence numbers are used.
  The message variable &1 will show the conflicting priority number.
  If you are unsure about the existing priorities, you can use transaction codes or reports related to product structure or PSM to list current priorities.
  Sometimes, this error can also occur due to data inconsistencies or incomplete deletions of old entries; in such cases, a cleanup or correction might be necessary.
