  The SAP error message 34635 typically indicates that there is an issue with the value assigned to a characteristic in a configuration scenario. This error is often encountered in the context of variant configuration, where specific characteristics and their values are defined for configurable materials.
  Cause:
  The error message "Value &3 for characteristic &2 in &1" suggests that the value being assigned to a specific characteristic is not valid or not allowed for the given configuration. The placeholders represent:
  
  &1: The name of the material or configuration object.
  &2: The name of the characteristic.
  &3: The value that is being assigned to the characteristic.
  
  Common causes for this error include:
  
  The value does not exist in the allowed values for the characteristic.
  The characteristic is not defined correctly in the configuration profile.
  There may be dependencies or constraints that prevent the value from being assigned.
  The characteristic might be set as mandatory, but the value is missing or incorrect.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Values:
  
  Go to the configuration profile of the material and check the allowed values for the characteristic in question. Ensure that the value you are trying to assign is listed as valid.
  
  
  
  Review Dependencies:

  Validate Configuration Profile:
  
  Ensure that the configuration profile is set up correctly and that all characteristics are defined properly. Look for any inconsistencies or missing definitions.
  
  
  
  Check for Mandatory Characteristics:
  
  If the characteristic is mandatory, ensure that a value is being provided. If the value is optional, verify that it is being handled correctly in the configuration logic.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Values:
  
  If possible, try assigning different values to the characteristic to see if the error persists. This can help identify if the issue is with a specific value or with the characteristic itself.
