• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLELIST062 - Error expanding the line - the default setting applies ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_ARTICLELIST062 – Error expanding the line - the default setting applies
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in SAP Retail or SAP Fashion Management (IS-Retail or IS-Fashion) during the processing of article lists, assortments, or pricing conditions. The system tries to expand or process a line item (e.g., an article or a condition record) but encounters an issue, such as:
  
  Missing or inconsistent master data for the article (e.g., article not found or incomplete article hierarchy).
  Incorrect or incomplete configuration in article lists or assortments.
  Problems in the expansion logic due to missing or invalid parameters.
  The system cannot fully expand the line item as expected, so it falls back to a default setting.
  
  
  Explanation
  The message indicates that while expanding a line (for example, expanding an article list line into individual articles or conditions), the system encountered an issue and therefore applied a default setting instead of the expected detailed expansion.
  This is often a warning rather than a hard error, meaning the process continues but with default values, which might not be the intended behavior.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Article Master Data:
  
  Verify that the article(s) involved in the line expansion exist and have complete master data.
  Check article hierarchy, classification, and relevant attributes.
  
  
  
  Review Article List / Assortment Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the article list or assortment is correctly maintained.
  Check if the article list lines are properly defined and linked to valid articles or article groups.
  
  
  
  Check Expansion Parameters:
  
  Review the parameters or settings used for expanding the line.
  Make sure that the expansion logic (e.g., selection criteria, filters) is correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Debug or Trace the Expansion Logic:
  
  If you have development or debugging access, trace the function/module where the expansion happens to identify why the system cannot expand the line.
  
  
  
  Apply Notes or Patches:
  
  Check SAP Support Portal for any OSS Notes related to message WRF_ARTICLELIST062.
  Sometimes, SAP releases corrections for known issues in article list expansions.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation:
  
  Review SAP Retail or IS-Fashion documentation related to article lists, assortments, and pricing conditions.
  
  
  
  Fallback Handling:
  
  Understand what the "default setting" applied means in your business context.
  If the default setting is acceptable, the message can be informational.
  If not, further investigation is needed to correct the root cause.
