  The SAP error message COM_ATTRFRG_GEN003 indicates that there is a conflict with the value you are trying to assign to an attribute in a characteristic. Specifically, the error states that the single value you are trying to use is already included in one of the previous intervals defined for that characteristic.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the context of characteristic value assignments in SAP, particularly when dealing with characteristics that have defined intervals or ranges. The specific causes can include:
  
  Overlapping Intervals: The value you are trying to assign falls within an existing interval that has already been defined for that characteristic.

  Use a Different Value: If modifying the intervals is not feasible, consider using a different value that does not conflict with the existing intervals.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to manage characteristic values and intervals effectively.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the desired functionality is achieved.
