  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLELIST025
  
  Error: The object is not contained in the buffer
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in SAP Retail or SAP Fashion Management (IS-Retail or IS-Fashion) modules when the system tries to access an object (such as an article, article list, or related data object) that is expected to be present in the buffer (cache) but is not found.
  The buffer in SAP Retail is used to improve performance by storing frequently accessed data in memory. If the object is not loaded into the buffer or has been invalidated/expired, the system cannot find it, leading to this error.
  Common causes include:
  
  The object was never loaded into the buffer.
  The buffer was cleared or invalidated.
  The object was deleted or changed in the database but the buffer was not updated.
  Incorrect or missing initialization of the buffer for the object.
  Inconsistent or outdated buffer data due to transport or system inconsistencies.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Reload the Buffer:
  
  Use transaction /n/IS-Retail/BUF or relevant buffer management transactions to reload or refresh the buffer.
  For example, you can use the program RSWRFBUF to refresh the Retail buffer.
  
  
  
  Check Object Existence:
  
  Verify that the object (article, article list, etc.) actually exists in the database.
  Use standard transactions like MM03 (for articles) or specific IS-Retail transactions to confirm.
  
  
  
  Check Buffer Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the buffer is correctly configured and initialized for the object type.
  Check customizing settings in IMG under Retail ? Master Data ? Buffering.
  
  
  
  Clear and Rebuild Buffer:
  
  Sometimes clearing the buffer completely and rebuilding it helps.
  Use transaction /n/IS-Retail/BUF ? "Clear Buffer" and then "Load Buffer".
  
  
  
  Check for Transport or System Issues:
  
  If the error appeared after a transport or system upgrade, verify that all relevant objects and buffer settings were transported correctly.
  Re-import or re-activate buffer-related customizing if necessary.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the problem persists, debugging the program or function module that triggers the error can help identify why the object is missing from the buffer.
  Check the call stack and buffer read logic.
