  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS095 Document type &1 does not allow you to assign to object &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign or link an object (such as a business object, article, or material) to a document type that is not configured or allowed to have such an assignment in the SAP system. Essentially, the document type you are using does not permit the assignment or linkage to the specified object type.
  For example, in SAP Retail or SAP Merchandise Management, certain document types (like purchase orders, sales orders, or article master documents) have restrictions on what objects can be assigned or linked to them. If you attempt to assign an object that is not allowed for that document type, this error is triggered.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Type Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of the document type in question.
  Use transaction codes like SPRO ? Logistics Execution or Retail ? Article Management ? Document Types.
  Check the allowed object assignments for the document type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Document Type Settings:
  
  If the business process requires the assignment, update the customizing to allow the document type to be assigned to the object.
  This might involve adding the object type to the allowed list for the document type.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Document Type:
  
  If the assignment is not allowed by design, use a different document type that supports the assignment to the object.
  
  
  
  Check User Input:
  
  Ensure that the document type and object you are trying to assign are correct and valid for the business process.
