• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C1875 - At least one material variant already has the same assigned values ?

  The SAP error message C1875, which states "At least one material variant already has the same assigned values," typically occurs in the context of variant configuration. This error indicates that you are trying to create or modify a material variant with specific characteristics that already exist for another variant of the same material.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Characteristics: The material variant you are trying to create or modify has characteristics that are identical to those of an existing variant.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for the material may not allow for duplicate variants with the same characteristic values.
  Data Entry Error: There may be an unintentional error in the data entry, leading to the same values being assigned to multiple variants.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Variants: Review the existing material variants for the same material to see if a variant with the same characteristic values already exists. You can do this by using transaction codes like CS03 (Display Material) or CU50 (Configuration Profile).
  
  
  Modify Characteristic Values: If you find that the values you are trying to assign are already in use, consider modifying the characteristic values for the new variant to ensure they are unique.
  
  
  Use Different Configuration: If applicable, you may need to create a new configuration profile or adjust the existing one to allow for the creation of the new variant.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific material and its configuration settings to ensure compliance with the rules governing variant creation.
  
  
  Check for Inactive Variants: Sometimes, inactive variants may still hold the same values. Ensure that you are not trying to create a variant that conflicts with an inactive one.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CU01 (Create Configuration Profile), CU02 (Change Configuration Profile), and CU03 (Display Configuration Profile).
  Material Master Data: Understanding the structure of the material master data and how variants are configured can help in troubleshooting this error.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to variant configuration that might provide additional insights or solutions.
  
  If the issue 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.
