CL131 - Details

• The SAP error message CL131 indicates that there is an issue with the handling of characteristics in the classification system. Specifically, it states: "You cannot include and delete characteristic & on the same date." This error typically arises when you attempt to perform conflicting operations on a characteristic within a classification system on the same date.
  
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to include (add) a characteristic to a class while simultaneously trying to delete the same characteristic on the same date.
  The system does not allow both operations to occur simultaneously because it can lead to inconsistencies in the classification data.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Separate Operations: Perform the operations in separate transactions. First, either include or delete the characteristic, and then wait for the changes to be saved before performing the opposite operation.
  
  
  Check Date Settings: Ensure that the date settings for the operations do not overlap.
