  The SAP error message 6B086 ("Only general information on differentiating characteristics possible here") typically occurs in the context of SAP's handling of characteristics and classification in the material management or production planning modules. This error indicates that the system is unable to provide specific information about certain characteristics due to the way they are defined or used in the system.

  Review Characteristic Definitions: Check the definitions of the characteristics in the classification system. Ensure that they are set up correctly and that they allow for detailed differentiation.
  Check Class Type: Verify that the class type used for the material or object supports the level of differentiation you require. If necessary, consider changing the class type or creating a new one that allows for more detailed characteristics.

  Access Context: Ensure that you are accessing the characteristics in a context that allows for detailed differentiation. If you are in a general overview, try accessing the characteristics in a more detailed view.
