• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CB032 - Assign each characteristic to one axis only ?

  The SAP error message CB032, "Assign each characteristic to one axis only," typically occurs in the context of SAP's classification and variant configuration (VC) functionality. This error arises when you attempt to assign the same characteristic to multiple axes in a configuration profile or a class, which is not allowed.

  Check the assignment of characteristics to axes. Ensure that each characteristic is assigned to only one axis.
  
  
  
  Modify Assignments:
  
  If you find that a characteristic is assigned to multiple axes, decide which axis it should belong to based on your business requirements.
  Remove the characteristic from the axes where it should not be assigned.
  
  
  
  Test Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the configuration behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
