• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5K104 - Specified combination not allowed ?

  The SAP error message 5K104: "Specified combination not allowed" typically occurs in the context of configuration or master data settings, particularly when dealing with characteristics and values in the context of variant configuration or when creating a sales order, production order, or similar transactions.
  Cause:
  The error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Invalid Configuration: The combination of characteristics and values you are trying to use is not allowed based on the configuration settings defined in the system. This can happen if:
  
  The characteristic value is not valid for the selected configuration.
  The combination of characteristics does not meet the rules defined in the configuration profile.
  
  
  
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data setup, such as:
  
  Missing or incorrect entries in the characteristic or class settings.
  The configuration profile may not be properly assigned to the material.
  
  
  
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies defined in the configuration that restrict certain combinations of characteristics and values.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration Profile:
  
  Go to the configuration profile of the material and verify the allowed combinations of characteristics and values.

  Review Master Data:

  Make sure that the material is assigned to the correct class and that the class has the necessary characteristics defined.
  
  
  
  Analyze Dependencies:
  
  Review any dependencies that may be defined for the characteristics. Ensure that the combination you are trying to use does not violate any of these dependencies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  If you have made changes to the configuration or master data, test the configuration again to see if the error persists.
