  WXP517 - No articles can be located from the screen
  
  Cause:
  The error message WXP517 typically occurs in SAP Retail or SAP IS-Retail environments when the system is unable to find any articles (products) based on the search criteria or the context of the screen you are working on. This can happen due to several reasons:

  The article master data is incomplete or missing for the relevant articles.

  The article hierarchy or assignment is not maintained properly.
  The authorization of the user does not allow viewing certain articles.
  The article data is not replicated or synchronized properly between systems (e.g., between ECC and Retail Store POS or other front-end systems).
  The screen or transaction context expects articles to be available but none are assigned or linked.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WXP517 error, consider the following steps:
