• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CLASSIFICATION_TOOL111 - Non existing characteristics have been deleted from the set. ?

  The SAP error message "CLASSIFICATION_TOOL111: Non-existing characteristics have been deleted from the set" typically occurs in the context of SAP's classification system, which is used for managing characteristics and classes of materials or other objects. This error indicates that there are characteristics in a classification set that no longer exist in the system, and as a result, they have been removed from the set.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion of Characteristics: The characteristics that were previously part of a classification set have been deleted from the system. This can happen if someone manually deletes characteristics or if they are removed as part of a data cleanup process.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data where the classification set references characteristics that are not present in the system.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), and the characteristics were not included in the transport, this error may occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Characteristics: Verify the characteristics that are part of the classification set. You can do this by navigating to the classification view in SAP and checking the characteristics assigned to the class.
  Recreate Missing Characteristics: If the characteristics were deleted unintentionally, you may need to recreate them in the system.
  Update Classification Set: If the characteristics are no longer needed, you can update the classification set to remove references to these non-existing characteristics.
  Data Consistency Check: Run a consistency check on the classification data to identify any other inconsistencies that may need to be addressed.
  Transport Review: If the issue arose after a transport, review the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like CL02 (Change Class) or CL03 (Display Class) to manage classes and characteristics.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to classification errors.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on managing characteristics and classes in the classification system.
