CLBW017 - Details

• The SAP error message CLBW017 indicates that a characteristic in a classification system is set to allow intervals, but the system is expecting a single value instead. This typically occurs when you are trying to assign a value to a characteristic that is defined to accept a range of values (intervals) rather than a single value.
  
  Cause:
  
  Characteristic Definition: The characteristic in question is defined in the classification system to allow intervals. This means it can accept a range of values (e.g., 10-20) rather than just a single value (e.g., 15).
  Data Entry: When entering data for this characteristic, a single value is being provided instead of an interval, which leads to the error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Settings: 
  
  Go to the classification system and check the definition of the characteristic that is causing the error. Ensure that it is correctly set up to allow intervals if that is the intended use.
