• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 40568 - No characteristics with automatic value assignment found ?

  The SAP error message "40568 No characteristics with automatic value assignment found" typically occurs in the context of SAP's variant configuration (VC) or when dealing with characteristics in a material master or sales order. This error indicates that the system is unable to find any characteristics that can be automatically assigned a value based on the configuration settings or the data provided.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Characteristics: The characteristics that are supposed to be automatically assigned values may not be defined in the configuration profile or may not be linked correctly to the material.
  Incorrect Configuration Profile: The configuration profile may not be set up correctly, or the dependencies that govern the automatic assignment of values may be missing or incorrectly defined.
  Inconsistent Data: The data provided during the configuration process may not meet the criteria for automatic value assignment, leading to the error.
  Dependencies Not Defined: There may be no dependencies defined for the characteristics that would allow the system to determine the values automatically.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration Profile: Review the configuration profile associated with the material or product. Ensure that all necessary characteristics are included and correctly defined.
  Define Characteristics: If characteristics are missing, define them in the classification system and ensure they are linked to the relevant material.
  Review Dependencies: Check the dependencies (e.g., constraints, selection conditions) associated with the characteristics. Ensure that they are correctly set up to allow for automatic value assignment.
  Test Configuration: Use the configuration transaction (e.g., CU50) to test the configuration and see if the characteristics can be assigned values manually. This can help identify if the issue is with the automatic assignment or the characteristics themselves.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on setting up variant configuration and characteristics.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CU01 (Create Characteristics), CU02 (Change Characteristics), CU03 (Display Characteristics), and CU50 (Configuration Simulation).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is involved, review any user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) that may affect the configuration process.
  Training and Documentation: Consider training for users involved in variant configuration to ensure they understand how to set up and manage characteristics and dependencies effectively.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
