• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 28050 - Characteristic is multiple value &1 ?

  The SAP error message "28050 Characteristic is multiple value &1" typically occurs in the context of SAP's variant configuration or when dealing with characteristics in a classification system. This error indicates that the characteristic in question can have multiple values, but the system is expecting a single value.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Value Characteristic: The characteristic defined in the configuration is set to allow multiple values, but the system is trying to process it as if it should only have a single value.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the material or the variant may not align with the expected input for the characteristic.
  Data Entry Error: The user may have entered a single value when the system is expecting multiple values or vice versa.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Characteristic Settings: Go to the classification view of the material or variant and check the settings for the characteristic. Ensure that it is correctly defined as a multiple value characteristic.
  Review Input Values: If you are entering values manually, ensure that you are providing the correct format. If the characteristic allows multiple values, you may need to enter them in a specific way (e.g., using a delimiter).
  Adjust Configuration: If the characteristic should only allow a single value, consider changing its configuration to reflect that. This may involve modifying the characteristic settings in the classification system.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling multiple value characteristics in your version of SAP.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to see where the error is being triggered. This may involve looking at the ABAP code or configuration settings.
