• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_DG01202 - 'Prohibited' and 'Unlimited' indicators are set simultaneously ?

  The SAP error message CM_DG01202 indicates that there is a conflict in the configuration of a characteristic in the SAP system, specifically regarding the 'Prohibited' and 'Unlimited' indicators being set at the same time. This situation typically arises in the context of variant configuration or product modeling, where characteristics are defined for products.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when both the 'Prohibited' and 'Unlimited' indicators are activated for the same characteristic. 
  
  Prohibited Indicator: This means that the characteristic value is not allowed for the configuration.
  Unlimited Indicator: This means that the characteristic value can be used without restrictions.
  
  Having both indicators set simultaneously creates a logical contradiction, as one indicator negates the other.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the configuration of the characteristic in question and ensure that only one of the indicators is set. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Characteristic Configuration:

  Check the Indicators:
  
  Look for the 'Prohibited' and 'Unlimited' indicators in the characteristic settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Settings:
  
  Decide which indicator is appropriate for your business logic:
  
  If the characteristic value should be allowed without restrictions, set the 'Unlimited' indicator and deactivate the 'Prohibited' indicator.
  If the characteristic value should not be allowed, set the 'Prohibited' indicator and deactivate the 'Unlimited' indicator.
  
  
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
