  Text: Follow-up/replacement material & is not listed for assortment &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign or use a follow-up or replacement material that is not maintained or included in the assortment for a particular customer or sales area. In SAP, assortments define which materials are allowed or available for a specific customer or customer group. If the follow-up or replacement material is not part of this predefined assortment, the system throws this error to prevent inconsistent or unauthorized material assignments.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Follow-up material: A material that replaces another material in sales documents, often used when a product is discontinued or replaced.
  Assortment: A list or group of materials that are allowed for sale to a particular customer or customer group.
  The system checks if the follow-up/replacement material is part of the customer's assortment before allowing it to be used.
  If the material is missing from the assortment, the system blocks the transaction and issues this error.

  Confirm that the customer is assigned to the correct assortment or customer group.
