How To Fix COM_PME_PARSER103 - Value &1 has no subordinate values

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: COM_PME_PARSER - Configuration

• Message number: 103

• Message text: Value &1 has no subordinate values

What causes this issue?

You can set up a value hierarchy to structure your values (for example,
the value 'EUROPE' with subordinate values 'SPAIN', 'ITALY', and so
on). EUROPE is a value node with subordinate values.
In object dependencies, value nodes represent a value set of several
individual values. You can use a value node in expressions such as:
COUNTRY IN 'EUROPE'
However, the value you selected is not a value node, because no
subordinate values are maintained.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Check your entry for the characteristic value or maintain
characteristic values as required. If you want to refer to an in
dividual value, do not use the keyword IN. For example, enter:
COUNTRY = 'Germany'
NOT
COUNTRY IN 'Germany'

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_PME_PARSER103 - Value &1 has no subordinate values ?

  The SAP error message COM_PME_PARSER103 with the description "Value &1 has no subordinate values" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Product Master or similar areas where hierarchical data structures are used, such as characteristics and values in classification systems.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that a specific value (represented by &1) is expected to have subordinate values (i.e., child values or dependent values) but does not. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Data Inconsistency: The value might have been defined without any associated subordinate values in the system.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration of the characteristic or value might be incomplete or incorrect.
  Missing Data: The subordinate values may not have been created or may have been deleted inadvertently.
  Hierarchy Structure: The hierarchical structure may not be properly defined, leading to orphaned values.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Value Definition:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., CL02 for characteristics) and check the definition of the value in question.
  Ensure that the value is correctly defined and that it is supposed to have subordinate values.

  If the value is supposed to have subordinate values, create them if they do not exist.
  You can do this in the same transaction where you checked the value definition.
  
  
  
  Review Hierarchical Structure:
  
  If the value is part of a hierarchy, review the entire structure to ensure that all relationships are correctly defined.
  Use transaction codes like CL02 or CL03 to navigate through the classification data.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
