How To Fix CLASSIFICATION_TOOL365 - Apects must not have explicit classifications.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CLASSIFICATION_TOOL - Classification tool

• Message number: 365

• Message text: Apects must not have explicit classifications.

What causes this issue?

Classifications with respect to aspects generate classifications with
respect to the characteristic the aspect refers to. Hence, there must
not be any classifications that refer to the aspect itself.
Nevertheless, such classifications may exist if a characteristic had
been changed from a stand-alone characteristic into an aspect.
Instantiating such a no longer valid classification leads to this error.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CLASSIFICATION_TOOL365 - Apects must not have explicit classifications. ?

  The SAP error message "CLASSIFICATION_TOOL365: Aspects must not have explicit classifications" typically occurs in the context of SAP's classification system, particularly when working with classification tools or managing characteristics and classes in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises when you are trying to assign explicit classifications to aspects in a classification system. In SAP, aspects are meant to be used for grouping characteristics without assigning them specific classifications. The system enforces this rule to maintain the integrity of the classification structure.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Review Aspect Configuration: Check the configuration of the aspects you are working with. Ensure that you are not trying to assign explicit classifications to them.
  
  
  Remove Explicit Classifications: If you have inadvertently assigned explicit classifications to aspects, you will need to remove these assignments. Go to the classification view and ensure that aspects are only used for grouping characteristics.
  
  
  Check Class and Characteristic Settings: Ensure that the classes and characteristics you are working with are set up correctly. Aspects should be used to categorize characteristics without direct classifications.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the correct use of aspects and classifications. This can provide insights into best practices and configuration settings.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the classification tool again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
