• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLELIST057 - BAdI found - method &1 NOT active - using default handling ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_ARTICLELIST057 BAdI found - method &1 NOT active - using default handling
  
  Meaning / Cause
  This message indicates that during the execution of a process (likely related to article lists or product data in SAP Retail or a related module), a Business Add-In (BAdI) implementation was found, but the specific method (&1 is a placeholder for the method name) within that BAdI is not active. Because the method is inactive, SAP falls back to the default standard processing instead of the custom logic that might have been intended.
  In other words:
  
  A BAdI implementation exists in the system.
  The method that should be executed is either not implemented or explicitly deactivated.
  SAP logs this message to inform that the system is using the standard (default) logic instead of the custom enhancement.
  
  
  Typical Causes
  
  The BAdI implementation is incomplete or partially implemented.
  The method in the BAdI is not activated (e.g., inactive implementation or inactive method).
  The BAdI implementation was created but not fully configured or tested.
  The system expects a custom enhancement, but none is active or available.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix
  
  
  Check BAdI Implementation:
  
  Go to transaction SE18 (BAdI Builder).
  Enter the BAdI name related to the process (you may need to identify the BAdI from the context or documentation).
  Check the implementations (SE19 can also be used).
  Verify if the method mentioned in the message (&1) is implemented and active.
  
  
  
  Activate the Method:
  
  If the method is implemented but inactive, activate it.
  If the method is not implemented, implement the method as per business requirements.
  
  
  
  Implement the BAdI if Missing:
  
  If no implementation exists and custom logic is required, create a new implementation.
  Implement the required method(s) and activate them.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After activation or implementation, test the process again to ensure the custom logic is executed.
  Confirm that the message no longer appears or that the intended custom behavior is observed.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation / SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP documentation or notes related to the specific BAdI or process.
  Sometimes SAP provides standard BAdI implementations or guidance on how to implement them.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information
  
  BAdI (Business Add-In): A SAP enhancement technique that allows custom code to be inserted into standard SAP applications without modifying the original code.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SE18 - BAdI Builder (to view BAdI definitions)
  SE19 - BAdI Implementation (to create/modify implementations)
  
  
  Context: This message is common in SAP Retail or other modules where article lists or product data are enhanced via BAdIs.
  Default Handling: When the BAdI method is inactive, SAP uses the standard logic, which may or may not meet specific business needs.
  
  
  Summary
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Description
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  BAdI method found but inactive; system uses default logic instead of custom enhancement.
  
  
  Solution
  Activate or implement the BAdI method; ensure the implementation is complete and active.
  
  
  Related Info
  Use SE18/SE19 to check BAdI implementations; consult SAP notes/documentation for guidance.
