  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CU364 - Characteristic &2 (or its values) has no description in &1 ?

    The SAP error message CU364 indicates that a characteristic (identified by &2) or one of its values does not have a description in the specified language (identified by &1). This typically occurs in the context of classification in SAP, where characteristics and their values are used to classify materials or other objects.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Descriptions: The characteristic or its values have not been assigned a description in the specified language. This can happen if the characteristic was created without providing a description or if the description was deleted.
    2. Language Settings: The language settings in the user profile or the system may not match the language in which the characteristic or value is defined.
    3. Transport Issues: If the characteristic was transported from another system, the descriptions may not have been included in the transport request.

    Solution:

    1. Add Descriptions:

      • Go to the transaction code CT04 (for characteristics) or CT05 (for characteristic values).
      • Search for the characteristic &2 and check if a description exists for the specified language &1.
      • If it does not exist, add the necessary description.
    2. Check Language Settings:

      • Ensure that your user profile is set to the correct language. You can check this in the user settings.
      • If the characteristic is defined in a different language, you may need to switch to that language or add the description in your current language.
    3. Transport Requests:

      • If the characteristic was transported, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects, including descriptions, were included.
      • If descriptions are missing, you may need to manually add them in the target system.
    4. Consistency Check:

      • Use transaction CL02 to check the consistency of the classification data. This can help identify any other issues related to characteristics and their values.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • CT04: Create/Change Characteristic
      • CT05: Create/Change Characteristic Value
      • CL02: Change Class
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on characteristics and classification.
    • User Exits and BAdIs: If you have custom developments, check if there are any user exits or BAdIs that might affect the behavior of characteristics and their descriptions.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CU364 error and ensure that all characteristics and their values have the necessary descriptions in the required languages.
