• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C1202 - Characteristic & has no allowed values ?

  The SAP error message C1202 ("Characteristic & has no allowed values") typically occurs in the context of SAP's classification system, particularly when working with characteristics in the classification of materials or objects. This error indicates that a specific characteristic does not have any allowed values defined for it, which means that the system cannot process the data as expected.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Allowed Values: The characteristic in question has not been assigned any allowed values. This can happen if the characteristic was created but not properly configured.
  Incorrect Configuration: The characteristic may have been incorrectly set up, or the allowed values may have been deleted or not maintained.
  Data Entry Error: When entering data for a material or object, the value provided for the characteristic does not match any of the allowed values defined for that characteristic.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Allowed Values:
  
  Go to the transaction code CT04 (Create Characteristic) or CT05 (Change Characteristic).
  Find the characteristic that is causing the error.
  Check if allowed values are defined. If not, you need to create or maintain the allowed values for that characteristic.
  
  
  
  Check Characteristic Assignment:

  Review Material/Document Data:
  
  If the error occurs during data entry, check the values being entered for the characteristic. Ensure that they match one of the allowed values defined for that characteristic.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the allowed values or how to set them up, refer to your organization's documentation or consult with a colleague who has experience with SAP classification.
