• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6B096 - Differentiating characteristics: Function module '&' does not exist ?

  The SAP error message 6B096 indicates that there is an issue with differentiating characteristics in the context of a function module that is expected to exist but does not. This error typically arises in scenarios involving characteristics in the SAP system, particularly in the context of variant configuration or when dealing with characteristics in material master data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Function Module: The function module referenced in the error message is not available in the system. This could be due to a missing implementation or a transport issue where the function module was not transported to the target system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the characteristics may be incorrect, leading the system to look for a function module that is not defined.
  Custom Development: If the system relies on custom function modules for specific characteristics, it’s possible that the custom module has not been created or has been deleted.
  Transport Issues: If the function module was recently transported from another system, there may have been an error during the transport process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Function Module: Verify if the function module mentioned in the error message exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction code SE37 (Function Builder) and searching for the function module.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the characteristics in question. Ensure that all necessary function modules are correctly assigned and configured.
  Transport Check: If the function module is missing, check the transport logs to see if there were any issues during the transport process. If it was supposed to be transported, you may need to re-transport it.
  Custom Development: If the function module is custom, ensure that it has been developed and activated. If it has been deleted, you may need to recreate it.
  Consult Documentation: Review any related documentation or notes from SAP that may provide insights into the specific function module and its expected behavior.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE37 (Function Module), SE80 (Object Navigator), and SPRO (Customizing) to navigate through the system and check configurations.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can set breakpoints in the relevant areas to trace where the error is occurring and gather more context about the missing function module.
