• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C1126 - No subordinate values exist ?

  The SAP error message C1126 "No subordinate values exist" typically occurs in the context of SAP's classification system, particularly when dealing with characteristics and values in the classification of materials or objects. This error indicates that the system is unable to find any subordinate (or dependent) values for a characteristic that is being referenced.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Values: The characteristic you are trying to use does not have any subordinate values defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the classification system may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of expected subordinate values.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing links between characteristics and their subordinate values.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the subordinate values.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code CT04 (for characteristics) and check the configuration of the characteristic in question. Ensure that subordinate values are defined correctly.
  If subordinate values are missing, you may need to create or assign them.
  
  
  
  Review Class Assignment:
  
  Use transaction code CL02 (for classes) to check if the class to which the characteristic is assigned has the correct subordinate values linked to it.
  
  
  
  Data Maintenance:
  
  If you find that subordinate values are indeed missing, you can add them using transaction code CT04 or CL02, depending on whether you are working with characteristics or classes.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the characteristics and their subordinate values. This can be checked with your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on classification and characteristics.
