• Message number: 695

• Message text: Phase &, instruction &: No variable defined for characteristic &

What causes this issue?

The process instruction &V2& for phase &V1& of the process order is a
process data request. In this process instruction, the message
characteristic &V3& is assigned to the characteristic
PPPI_EXTERNAL_VALUE. This means that its value is to be assigned using
a variable. However, the variable to be used for the value assignment
is not defined in the process instruction.
No value can be assigned to the characteristic &V3&.

System Response

The data for the process instruction has been reported without the
characteristic &V3&.

How to fix this error?

In the process order, correct the process instruction &V2& for phase
&V1&.

Errors in the process instruction cannot be corrected for the current
PI sheet.
In the message monitor, check whether the process message requested in
the process instruction was sent after you started the function for
reporting data.

If the message has not yet been sent, manually add the missing value in
the monitor.
If the message has been sent but the characteristic &V3& is needed by
certain destinations, you need to manually post the data in these
destinations.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C0695 - Phase &, instruction &: No variable defined for characteristic & ?

  The SAP error message C0695 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a characteristic in the context of a variant configuration scenario. Specifically, the error message states that there is "No variable defined for characteristic &," where the ampersand (&) is a placeholder for the actual characteristic name.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the following scenarios:
  
  
  Missing Variable Definition: The characteristic in question has not been assigned a variable in the configuration profile or the variant configuration settings. Variables are used to link characteristics to specific values or conditions.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration profile may not be set up correctly, or the characteristic may not be included in the relevant configuration settings.
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or configuration data that lead to the characteristic not being recognized.
  
  
  User Input Error: The user may have entered a value or selected an option that does not correspond to any defined variable for the characteristic.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the C0695 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Definition:
  
  Go to the characteristic definition in the SAP system (transaction code CT04).
  Ensure that the characteristic is correctly defined and that it is intended to be used in the variant configuration.
  
  
  
  Define Variables:
  
  Navigate to the configuration profile (transaction code CU41 or CU42).
  Check if the characteristic is included in the configuration profile and if it has an associated variable.
  If not, define a variable for the characteristic.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Profile:
  
  Ensure that the configuration profile is correctly assigned to the material or product in question.
  Verify that all necessary characteristics are included in the profile.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Review any dependencies or constraints that may affect the characteristic. This can be done using transaction code CU01 to check for any dependencies that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Test Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration settings, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a colleague who has experience with variant configuration.
