  WXPB105: Article &1 is already contained in the planning screen
  
  Cause
  This message occurs in SAP Retail (specifically in the assortment or planning screens) when you try to add an article (product) to a planning screen or assortment that already contains this article. The system prevents duplicate entries of the same article in the planning screen to avoid redundancy and data inconsistencies.
  In other words, the article you are trying to add is already present in the current planning screen or assortment, so the system blocks the addition.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  While working in assortment planning or article planning screens.
  When adding articles manually or via upload/import.
  When copying or transferring articles between planning screens or assortments.

  Solution
  
  
  Check for duplicates:
  
  Before adding an article, verify if it already exists in the planning screen or assortment.
  Use the search or filter functions to find the article in the current planning screen.
  
  
  
  Avoid duplicate entries:
  
  If the article is already present, do not add it again.
  If you need to update or change the article's planning data, edit the existing entry instead of adding a new one.
  
  
  
  Remove duplicates if necessary:
  
  If duplicates exist due to previous errors, remove the redundant entries before adding the article again.
  
  
  
  Use correct planning screen:
  
  Ensure you are working in the correct planning screen or assortment where the article should be maintained.
