WRF_ARTICLELIST059 - Details

• The SAP error message:
  WRF_ARTICLELIST059: Object has not been updated yet and cannot be copied
  
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in SAP Retail or related modules when you attempt to copy or reference an article master or related object that has been created but not yet saved (committed) in the system. In other words, the object exists only in the current session or buffer but has not been updated in the database. Since the system cannot find a persistent version of the object, it refuses to perform the copy operation.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Trying to copy an article or article list before the initial save/update.
  Attempting to reference an object that is still in an intermediate state (e.g., during article creation or modification).
  Custom developments or user exits that try to copy objects prematurely.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Save/Update the Object First:
  
  Ensure that the original object (article, article list, etc.) is fully saved and updated in the database before attempting to copy
