  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLELIST104 – "Only existing materials are imported for copied material lists"
  
  
  Cause:
  This message typically appears when you try to copy or import a material list (article list) in SAP, but some of the materials in the source list do not exist in the target system or client. As a result, only those materials that already exist in the system are imported or copied, and the non-existing materials are skipped.
  In other words, the system checks the material master records during the import/copy process. If a material number from the source list is not found in the target system's material master, it cannot be imported, and the system issues this message to inform you that only existing materials were processed.
  
  Explanation:
