  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLELIST070
  
  Text: The material list has status "planned" and is not assigned to you.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to process or change a material list (article list) in SAP that is currently in the status "planned" but is not assigned to the user attempting the action. In SAP, material lists can have different statuses such as "planned," "released," or "locked," and they are often assigned to specific users or user groups for editing or approval purposes.
  
  The material list is still in the "planned" status, meaning it is not yet finalized or released.
  The system restricts access to the material list to only the user or users it is assigned to.
  The current user does not have authorization or assignment to modify or process this material list.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Assignment:
  
  Verify which user or user group the material list is assigned to.
  You can check this in the material list management transaction or via the relevant table (depending on your SAP module).
  
  
  
  Request Assignment Change:
  
  If you need to work on this material list, request the current assignee to either:
  
  Release the material list (change status from "planned" to "released"), or
  Reassign the material list to you.
  
  
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to access or change material lists.
  If not, request the SAP security team to grant the required roles or permissions.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction:
  
  Make sure you are using the correct transaction or process step that corresponds to your role and the material list status.
  
  
  
  Status Change:
  
  If you are the responsible person, change the status of the material list from "planned" to "released" once all planning is complete, so others can access it.
