• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLELIST100 - Select a maintenance group ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_ARTICLELIST100: Select a maintenance group
  
  Cause:
  This error message typically occurs in SAP Retail or related modules when the system expects the user to select or specify a maintenance group but none has been selected or provided. The maintenance group is a classification or grouping used to manage articles (products) for maintenance, updates, or processing in article master data or related processes.
  In other words, the system requires a maintenance group to filter or process articles, and if this is missing, it throws the error prompting the user to select one.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During article master data maintenance or article list processing.
  When running reports or transactions that require filtering by maintenance group.
  In article list selection screens or mass maintenance tools where maintenance group is a mandatory selection criterion.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select a Maintenance Group:
  
  On the screen where the error appears, look for the field labeled Maintenance Group or similar.
  Choose an appropriate maintenance group from the dropdown or input help (F4 help).
  If you are unsure which maintenance group to select, consult your functional team or check the configuration for valid maintenance groups.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If no maintenance groups are available or visible, verify that maintenance groups are configured in the system.
  Use transaction codes like SPRO ? Retail ? Master Data ? Article ? Define Maintenance Groups.
  Ensure that maintenance groups are properly maintained and assigned.
  
  
  
  User Authorization:
  
  Sometimes, the user may not have authorization to view or select certain maintenance groups.
  Check user roles and authorizations related to article maintenance.
  
  
  
  Technical Check:
  
  If the error persists despite selecting a maintenance group, there might be a bug or issue in the custom code or standard SAP program.
  Check SAP Notes or OSS messages for known issues related to WRF_ARTICLELIST100.
  Debug or analyze the program to see why the maintenance group is not being accepted.
