  SAP Error Message: WRF_FOLUPART022
  Text: Follow-up/replacement material & is a generic material
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign a follow-up or replacement material that is defined as a generic material in SAP. In SAP, a generic material is typically a material master record that is used as a template or placeholder and is not intended for direct transactional use (e.g., sales, procurement, or production). Follow-up or replacement materials must be specific, concrete materials rather than generic ones.
  The system prevents the assignment of a generic material as a follow-up or replacement because it could lead to inconsistencies or errors in processes like sales orders, deliveries, or production orders.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Follow-up material: A material that is suggested or automatically proposed to replace the original material in transactions.
  Replacement material: A material that substitutes the original material, often used when the original is obsolete or unavailable.
