• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLELIST115 - Please enter the selection criteria or the results list. ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_ARTICLELIST115 – "Please enter the selection criteria or the results list."
  
  Cause:
  This error message typically occurs in SAP Retail or related modules when a user tries to execute a report, transaction, or function that requires either:
  
  Selection criteria to filter the data, or
  An existing results list to be present for further processing.
  
  If neither is provided, the system cannot proceed because it doesn't know what data to work with.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The system expects the user to either specify some selection parameters (e.g., article numbers, date ranges, categories) to generate a list of articles or to have a pre-existing list of articles/results to work on.
  If both are missing, the system throws this error to prompt the user to provide at least one of these inputs.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter Selection Criteria:
  
  Go back to the selection screen.
  Provide valid selection criteria such as article numbers, article groups, date ranges, or other relevant filters.
  Execute the report or transaction again.
  
  
  
  Use an Existing Results List:
  
  If the transaction allows processing on an existing list, ensure that the list is loaded or selected before proceeding.
  For example, if you are trying to perform an action on a previously generated article list, make sure that list is available and selected.
  
  
  
  Check for Mandatory Fields:
  
  Sometimes, certain fields are mandatory for the selection but might be left blank.
  Verify that all required fields are filled.
  
  
  
  Review User Input or Program Logic:
  
  If this error occurs in a custom program or report, check the logic to ensure that it correctly handles cases where no selection criteria or results list is provided.
  Add validation or default values if necessary.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  The message ID prefix WRF often relates to Retail Framework or Retail Frontend components.
  If you are unsure about what selection criteria to use, consult the functional documentation or SAP help for the specific transaction or report.
