• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CLMM210 - Dependencies caused conflicting values ?

  The SAP error message CLMM210 indicates that there are conflicting values due to dependencies in the configuration of a material or a master data object. This typically occurs in the context of classification and variant configuration, where certain characteristics or values are interdependent.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  Conflicting Characteristics: Two or more characteristics have values that cannot coexist due to predefined dependencies.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the material or object does not adhere to the rules set in the classification system.
  Missing Dependencies: Required dependencies that govern the relationship between characteristics are not defined or are incorrectly set.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CLMM210 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Review Characteristics: Check the characteristics assigned to the material or object. Ensure that the values assigned do not conflict with each other based on the dependency rules.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: 
  
  Go to the classification view of the material and review the dependencies defined for the characteristics.
  Use transaction codes like CU01 (Create Dependency) or CU02 (Change Dependency) to review and modify dependencies as needed.
  
  
  
  Adjust Values: Modify the values of the conflicting characteristics to ensure they are compatible. This may involve changing one or more characteristic values to align with the dependency rules.
  
  
  Test Configuration: After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error does not reoccur. You can do this by attempting to create or change the material again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the dependencies, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with a colleague who has experience with variant configuration and classification.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using debugging tools to trace the logic that leads to the error. This may provide insights into which specific dependencies are causing the conflict.
