What causes this issue?

It is only possible to change the usage probability for one
characteristic in each characteristics combination because the
correlated probabilities set by the combination will also be changed.
These correlated values can therefore not be changed at the same time.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Only change the probabilities for one characteristic per
characteristics combination.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6P572 - Only one characteristic per characteristic combination can be changed. ?

  The SAP error message 6P572 ("Only one characteristic per characteristic combination can be changed") typically occurs in the context of SAP's variant configuration or when dealing with characteristics in a configurable material. This error indicates that you are trying to change multiple characteristics at once for a specific characteristic combination, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Changes: You are attempting to change more than one characteristic for a specific combination of characteristics in a configuration.
  Configuration Settings: The system is set up in such a way that it only allows one characteristic to be modified at a time for a given combination.
  User Input Error: The user may have inadvertently selected multiple characteristics to change in the configuration screen.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change One Characteristic at a Time: Modify only one characteristic at a time for the specific characteristic combination. After making the change, you can then proceed to change another characteristic if needed.
  Review Configuration Settings: Check the configuration settings in the material master or the variant configuration settings to ensure that they are set up correctly and that there are no restrictions that would prevent multiple changes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly configure characteristics and combinations.
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or constraints that might be causing the issue. Sometimes, certain characteristics are interdependent, and changing one may affect others.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CU50 (Configuration Profile) or CU01 (Create Configuration Profile) to manage characteristics and combinations.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to properly configure materials and understand the limitations of the system regarding characteristic changes.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in variant configuration.
