• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CL091 - & has no inherited characteristics ?

  The SAP error message CL091 typically indicates that a classification object (like a material or a characteristic) does not have any inherited characteristics. This can occur in the context of SAP's classification system, where characteristics are used to define the properties of a class or object.
  Cause:
  
  No Inherited Characteristics: The object you are trying to classify does not have any characteristics inherited from its parent class. This can happen if the class hierarchy is not set up correctly or if the object is not linked to a class that has defined characteristics.
  Class Configuration: The class itself may not have any characteristics defined, or the characteristics may not be assigned properly.
  Data Entry Error: There may be an error in the way the classification data was entered or configured.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Class Hierarchy: Ensure that the class to which the object is assigned has characteristics defined. You can do this by navigating to the class in the classification view and checking its characteristics.
  Assign Characteristics: If the class does not have any characteristics, you will need to add them. Go to the class maintenance transaction (e.g., CL02) and add the necessary characteristics.
  Reassign Object: If the object is incorrectly assigned to a class, consider reassigning it to a different class that has the required characteristics.
  Review Object Configuration: Ensure that the object itself is configured correctly and that it is linked to the appropriate class.
  Check for Inheritance: If you are using subclasses, ensure that the inheritance is set up correctly so that the characteristics from the parent class are inherited by the subclass.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like CL02 (Change Class), CL03 (Display Class), and CL01 (Create Class) to manage classes and their characteristics.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on classification and characteristics.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to classification errors.
  
  If the problem persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP community forums for additional assistance.
