SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CBGL00 - GLM: Standard Messages

• Message number: 233

• Message text: &4 generation variant combination(s) found: material &1, label cat. &3

What causes this issue?

Taking into account the validity areas, the system found a total of &V4&
combinations of suitable report generation variants during label
determination for material &V1& and label category &V3&. The system
compares the countries specified for the label with those that
correspond to the validity areas of the report generation variants of
the label category. Since there may sometimes be no report generation
variant that covers all the countries, the system first determines all
suitable combinations (best match) of report generation variants that
cover the desired countries. The combinations that are found are reduced
later on, for example, by dangerous goods regulations and required use
symbols.
<ZH>Example:</>
A label is required for the countries DE and FR. The system found the
following report generation variants:
VAR1 with validity area DE
VAR2 with validity area FR
VAR3 with validity area DE, FR, EN
VAR4 with validity area REG_EU
Based on this information, the following eight combinations of suitable
report generation variants were determined:
VAR1, VAR2
VAR1, VAR3
VAR1, VAR4
VAR2, VAR1
VAR2, VAR3
VAR2, VAR4
VAR3
VAR4
The system then selects the most suitable combination from these (the
<DS:TX.CBGLT_ENV_PARAM_GLM_VAR_DET>GLM_VAR_DET</> environment parameter
determines how this is done) and uses this, provided that the generation
variant is suitable for any dangerous goods regulations and use symbols
required.

  The SAP error message CBGL00233 indicates that there are issues related to the generation of labels for a specific material and label category combination. This error typically arises in the context of label printing or label generation processes within SAP, particularly in the SAP Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) module or similar areas where labeling is critical.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Generation Variants: The error suggests that there are no valid generation variants defined for the specified material and label category combination. This means that the system cannot find the necessary configuration to generate the label.
  Incorrect Configuration: The generation variants may not be properly configured or may not exist for the specified material or label category.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data for the material or label category that prevent the system from processing the request.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Generation Variants:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in SAP (usually under the EHS or label management settings).
  Verify that the generation variants for the specified material and label category are defined and active.
  
  
  
  Create or Update Generation Variants:
  
  If the generation variants do not exist, create them by defining the necessary parameters for the material and label category.
  If they exist but are incorrect, update them to ensure they match the requirements for the material and label category.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data for the specified material to ensure that all necessary fields are filled out correctly and that the material is set up for labeling.
  Ensure that the label category is correctly assigned to the material.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on how to set up and manage generation variants for labels.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the label generation process again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like CBGL (for label generation) or EHS related transactions to access the relevant settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional guidance or patches that may address known issues.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to generate the label has the necessary authorizations to access and modify generation variants.
