• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_ATTRFRG_GEN203 - Attribute type &1 cannot be case sensitive ?

  The SAP error message COM_ATTRFRG_GEN203 indicates that there is an issue with the attribute type being defined as case-sensitive, which is not allowed in the context of the operation you are trying to perform. This error typically arises when working with attributes in the context of classification or data modeling in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  An attribute is defined with a data type that does not support case sensitivity (e.g., certain character types).
  The system is trying to enforce case sensitivity on an attribute that is not designed to handle it.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Attribute Definition:
  
  Go to the transaction where the attribute is defined (e.g., transaction CL02 for class attributes).
  Verify the data type of the attribute. If it is a character type, ensure that it is not set to be case-sensitive.
  
  
  
  Modify Attribute Settings:
  
  If the attribute is incorrectly set to be case-sensitive, modify its settings to be case-insensitive.
  This may involve changing the data type or adjusting the attribute settings in the classification or data model.
  
  
  
  Review Related Configuration:
  
  Check if there are any related configurations or settings in the classification system that might be enforcing case sensitivity.
  Ensure that the overall configuration aligns with the intended use of the attribute.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on attribute types and their case sensitivity rules.
  
  
  
  Testing:
