  WRF_ARTICLELIST124 – The selected function is not supported for new material lists
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to perform an action or use a function that is not available or supported for "new material lists" in the SAP system. In SAP Retail or related modules, material lists can be categorized as "old" or "new" based on their creation method or system version. Certain functions or transactions that worked with older material lists may not be compatible with the newer format or structure of material lists.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Attempting to use legacy functions or reports designed for old material lists on new material lists.
  Using outdated custom code or user exits that do not handle new material list structures.
  Trying to perform operations that are restricted or not implemented for new material lists in the standard SAP system.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Function Compatibility:
  
  Verify if the function or transaction you are trying to use supports new material lists. Consult SAP documentation or release notes for the specific module (e.g., SAP Retail, SAP S/4HANA Retail).

  Use the updated or alternative functions designed for new material lists. SAP often provides new transactions or reports for handling new material lists.
