• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLELIST079 - Valid To changed automatically ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_ARTICLELIST079 – Valid To changed automatically
  
  Cause:
  This message typically appears in SAP Retail or SAP Fashion Management (IS-Retail or IS-Fashion) when the "Valid To" date of an article or article list entry is automatically adjusted by the system. The system enforces consistency and validity rules on date ranges for articles or article lists, and if the entered "Valid To" date conflicts with these rules (e.g., overlaps with other validity periods, exceeds allowed maximum validity, or is earlier than the "Valid From" date), SAP automatically changes it to a valid date.
  Common causes include:
  
  The "Valid To" date entered is beyond the maximum allowed validity period.
  Overlapping validity periods for the same article or article list.
  The "Valid To" date is earlier than the "Valid From" date.
  System logic or customizing settings enforce date adjustments to maintain data integrity.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Validity Periods:
  
  Review the "Valid From" and "Valid To" dates for the article or article list entries.
  Ensure that the "Valid To" date is logically after the "Valid From" date.
  Avoid overlapping validity periods for the same article or article list.
  
  
  
  Adjust Dates Manually:
  
  If the system changed the "Valid To" date automatically, verify if the new date fits your business requirements.
  If not, adjust the dates manually within allowed ranges.
  
  
  
  Review Customizing Settings:
  
  Check the configuration in SAP Retail or Fashion Management related to article validity periods.
  Look for settings that define maximum validity periods or rules for overlapping dates.
  
  
  
  Check for Master Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that related master data (articles, article lists, assortments) do not have conflicting validity periods.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to message WRF_ARTICLELIST079 for any known issues or patches.
