How To Fix CUIB1053 - Arithmetic error for characteristic &1 (reference to &2-&3) and value &4

CUIB1053 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CUIB1 -

• Message number: 053

• Message text: Arithmetic error for characteristic &1 (reference to &2-&3) and value &4

What causes this issue?

When the dependency is evaluated during the BOM or planned explosion,
the system should valuate the characteristic <(>&<)>v1& with the value
<(>&<)>v4&. However, an error in the arithmetic occurred.
Characteristic <(>&<)>v1& is a reference characteristic with a reference
to field <(>&<)>v3& of the Data Dictionary <(>&<)>v2&. The value
<(>&<)>v4& is not compatible with the field type <(>&<)>v3&.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Check the configuration model, and ensure that the evaluation for the
model is consistent. Check the configuration model under <ZK>Logistics
-> Central Functions -> Variant Configuration -> Environment -> Conf.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CUIB1053 - Arithmetic error for characteristic &1 (reference to &2-&3) and value &4 ?

  The SAP error message CUIB1053, which indicates an "Arithmetic error for characteristic &1 (reference to &2-&3) and value &4," typically arises in the context of SAP's classification system, particularly when dealing with characteristics and their values in the context of classification and variant configuration.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Invalid Data: The error often occurs when there is an invalid or incompatible value assigned to a characteristic. This could be due to:
  
  A value that is not numeric when a numeric value is expected.
  A division by zero or other arithmetic operations that are not valid.
  Incorrectly defined ranges or limits for the characteristic.
  
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the characteristics or the classes they belong to, such as:
  
  Missing or incorrect dependencies.
  Incorrectly defined formulas or calculations that involve the characteristic.
  
  
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The characteristic may be defined with a specific data type, and the value being processed does not match this type.
  
  
  
  Solution:
