• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLELIST114 - The release status & is not valid ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_ARTICLELIST114 – The release status & is not valid
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in SAP Retail or SAP Fashion Management (IS-Retail or IS-Fashion) modules when an article or product is assigned a release status that is not recognized or valid in the current system context. The placeholder "&" in the message is replaced by the actual release status code that caused the error.
  Common causes include:  
  
  The release status assigned to the article does not exist in the system's configuration.  
  The release status is not maintained or activated in the customizing settings.  
  The release status is not valid for the particular article type or organizational level.  
  Data inconsistencies due to transport or master data upload errors.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Release Status Configuration:  
  
  Go to the customizing path for release status maintenance:
  
  SPRO -> Logistics General -> Material Master -> Settings for Release Statuses  
  Verify that the release status code in question exists and is properly configured.
  
  
  
  Validate Release Status Assignment:  
  
  Check the article master data (e.g., in transaction MM03 or relevant IS-Retail transaction) to see which release status is assigned.  
  Ensure that the release status assigned is valid for the article type and organizational unit.
  
  
  
  Maintain Valid Release Statuses:  
  
  If the release status is missing, create or activate it as per business requirements.  
  If the release status is obsolete or incorrect, correct the article master data to assign a valid release status.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations and Validity Periods:  
  
  Sometimes, release statuses have validity periods or are restricted by authorization. Ensure the user and the article meet these conditions.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Checks:  
  
  Run consistency checks or data validation reports to identify and correct invalid release statuses in bulk.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Synchronization:  
  
  If the error appeared after a transport or system upgrade, verify that customizing for release statuses was transported correctly.
