  Error Message
  WRF_ARTICLELIST122: The selected material lists were deleted
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to access or use a material list (article list) in SAP that has already been deleted or is no longer available in the system. Material lists are often used in various SAP modules (such as Retail, Sales and Distribution, or Variant Configuration) to group materials for pricing, promotions, assortment planning, or configuration purposes.
  The system cannot find the referenced material list because:
  
  The material list was manually deleted by a user or through a cleanup process.
  The material list was archived or removed due to data retention policies.
  There is a mismatch or inconsistency in the data references (e.g., a transaction or document still points to a deleted list).
  The material list ID or reference is incorrect or outdated.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Verify the Material List Existence:
  
  Check if the material list still exists in the system.
  Use transaction codes related to material lists, such as:
  
  WLF1 (Display Material List)
  WLF2 (Change Material List)
  Or relevant transaction codes depending on your SAP module.
  
  
  If the list is missing, confirm whether it was deleted intentionally.
  
  
  
  Restore or Recreate the Material List:
  
  If the material list was deleted accidentally, restore it from a backup or archive if possible.
  Otherwise, recreate the material list with the required materials.
  
  
  
  Update References:
  
  Identify where the deleted material list is being referenced (e.g., sales documents, pricing conditions, promotions).
  Update these references to point to an existing material list or remove the dependency.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the material lists.
  Sometimes, the error might appear if the user cannot see the list due to authorization restrictions.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks or use SAP standard reports/tools to identify inconsistencies in material list references.
  Correct any inconsistencies found.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
