  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLELIST113
  
  Text: The value & is not permitted; & materials have already been assigned.
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in SAP Retail or related modules when you try to assign a value (often a characteristic or attribute) to an article or material, but the value you are trying to assign is not allowed because:
  
  The value is restricted or invalid in the current context.
  The material(s) you are trying to assign already have a conflicting or existing assignment.
  There is a business rule or validation that prevents duplicate or conflicting assignments.
  The system is enforcing data consistency and preventing overwriting or duplicating values that are already assigned to materials.
  
  The placeholders & in the message are replaced at runtime with the actual values causing the issue, such as the invalid value and the number of materials already assigned.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Value Being Assigned:
  
  Verify that the value you are trying to assign is valid and permitted according to the configuration or master data setup. For example, if you are assigning a characteristic value, ensure it exists in the allowed value list.
  
  
  Review Existing Assignments:
  
  Check which materials already have the value assigned. You may need to:
  
  Remove or change the existing assignments if they are incorrect.
  Avoid assigning the same value to multiple materials if the business rule forbids it.
  
  
  
  Adjust Business Rules or Configuration:
  
  If the restriction is too strict or incorrect, review the customizing settings in SAP Retail or the relevant module:
  
  Check characteristic value restrictions.
  Review validation or substitution rules.
  Adjust settings in transaction codes like CT04 (Characteristics), CT03 (Class), or relevant article master data transactions.

  Look for SAP Notes related to WRF_ARTICLELIST113 for any known issues or patches.
