• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLELIST056 - Double-click on a node to select it ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_ARTICLELIST056 – Double-click on a node to select it
  
  Cause:
  This message typically appears in SAP Retail or related modules when a user tries to select or activate an article or node in a hierarchical list/tree structure (such as article lists, assortment trees, or category hierarchies) by a single click instead of the required double-click.
  The system expects a double-click on a node (e.g., an article, category, or folder) to confirm selection or to open the detailed view. A single click only highlights the node but does not trigger the selection or action.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The message is informational or warning in nature.
  It guides the user to perform the correct action (double-click) to proceed.
  This behavior is common in SAP GUI tree controls where single-click selects/highlights, and double-click activates or opens the node.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  User Action: Double-click on the desired node in the article list/tree to select or open it.
  If the user is trying to perform an action (e.g., edit, view details), ensure to double-click rather than single-click.
  If the user interface or process requires selection of multiple nodes, follow the standard SAP GUI conventions (Ctrl+click, Shift+click) but for opening or confirming selection, double-click is mandatory.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is not an error but a prompt to guide correct user interaction.
  If users find it confusing or if the system behavior is not intuitive, consider:
  
  Providing user training or documentation.
  Checking if the SAP GUI or custom UI controls are working properly.
  Reviewing any custom enhancements or scripts that might interfere with standard UI behavior.
  
  
  In some cases, SAP Notes or patches might address UI usability improvements, so check SAP Support Portal for related notes if this message appears frequently or disrupts workflow.
