  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_BUDGET112 No unique budget found for article &1 budget type &2 date &3
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to find a unique budget record for a given article (material), budget type, and date, but either:
  
  No budget record exists for the specified combination, or  
  Multiple budget records exist, causing ambiguity (i.e., the system cannot determine a unique budget).
  
  In other words, the system expects exactly one budget entry for the article, budget type, and date, but the data in the budget tables does not meet this expectation.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  No budget maintained for the article and budget type on the specified date.  
  Multiple overlapping budget entries exist for the same article, budget type, and date range, causing duplicates.  
  Incorrect or incomplete budget master data or budget planning data.  
  Date used in the transaction does not fall within any budget validity period.
  
  
  Where does this occur?
  
  Typically during budget checks in SAP Retail or SAP Merchandise Management (IS-Retail) when processing sales orders, purchase orders, or other documents that require budget validation.  
  The system tries to validate if the transaction is within the allowed budget.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check Budget Master Data:
  
  Use transaction codes like WFM_BUDGET or relevant budget maintenance transactions to verify budget entries for the article and budget type.
  Ensure that there is exactly one budget record valid for the date in question.
  
  
  
  Check for overlapping budget entries:
  
  Look for multiple budget entries for the same article and budget type with overlapping validity periods.
  Adjust the validity periods so that only one budget record applies for any given date.
  
  
  
  Maintain missing budgets:
  
  If no budget exists for the article, budget type, and date, create a new budget entry with the correct validity period and budget amount.
  
  
  
  Check the date used in the transaction:
  
  Verify that the date in the transaction (e.g., order date) falls within the validity period of the budget.
  
  
  
  Consult Budget Reports:
  
  Run budget reports to analyze budget coverage and identify gaps or overlaps.
  
  
  
  If multiple budgets are required:
  
  Adjust the system logic or configuration to handle multiple budgets if business requirements allow, but typically budgets should be unique per article, budget type, and date.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Budget Types: These are defined in customizing and represent different budget categories (e.g., marketing budget, purchasing budget).  
  Budget Validity Period: Budgets are usually maintained with start and end dates; transactions must fall within these dates.  
  IS-Retail Budgeting: In SAP Retail, budgeting is tightly integrated with merchandise management and sales processes.  
  Transaction Codes:  
  
  WFM_BUDGET – Budget maintenance  
  WFM_BUDGET_CHECK – Budget check  
  WFM_BUDGET_DISPLAY – Display budgets
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WRF_BUDGET112 indicates that the system cannot find a unique budget record for the specified article, budget type, and date. To resolve it, verify and correct the budget master data to ensure exactly one valid budget exists for the given parameters.
