  The SAP error message WRF_WLAY211 typically indicates an issue with reading the description of a node in a hierarchy, which is often related to the configuration of product hierarchies or other related structures in SAP's Retail or Logistics modules.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data: The node or hierarchy being referenced may not have a description defined in the system.
  Incorrect Hierarchy Configuration: The hierarchy itself may not be properly configured or may be inactive.
