• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CL625 - Upper limit ignored ?

  The SAP error message CL625 "Upper limit ignored" typically occurs in the context of class or characteristic definitions in the SAP Classification System. This message indicates that the upper limit defined for a characteristic is being ignored, which can happen for several reasons.
  Cause:
  
  
  Inconsistent Data: The upper limit defined for a characteristic may not be consistent with the values being assigned to it. For example, if the upper limit is set to a certain value, but the actual value being assigned exceeds this limit, the system will ignore the limit.
  
  
  Data Type Mismatch: If the characteristic is defined with a data type that does not support upper limits (e.g., a text field), the system will ignore the upper limit.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the classification system or the specific class/characteristic setup that lead to this message.
  
  
  Value Assignment: If the value being assigned to the characteristic is outside the defined range, the system will ignore the upper limit.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Definition: Review the definition of the characteristic in the classification system. Ensure that the upper limit is correctly defined and that it aligns with the expected values.
  
  
  Validate Assigned Values: Check the values being assigned to the characteristic. Ensure that they fall within the defined range (including the upper limit).
  
  
  Data Type Review: Ensure that the data type of the characteristic is appropriate for the values being assigned. If necessary, change the data type to one that supports upper limits.
  
  
  Configuration Review: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings for the classification system and the specific class/characteristic. Make any necessary adjustments.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on the classification system and characteristic definitions.
