• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CUX1073 - Two values for single-valued characteristic &1 ?

  The SAP error message CUX1073, which states "Two values for single-valued characteristic &1," typically occurs in the context of SAP's classification system, particularly when dealing with characteristics in a classification or variant configuration scenario. This error indicates that a single-valued characteristic is being assigned multiple values, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A characteristic that is defined as single-valued (meaning it can only hold one value at a time) is being assigned more than one value in a transaction or configuration.
  There may be a configuration or data entry error where the system is trying to assign multiple values to a characteristic that should only have one.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CUX1073 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Definition:
  
  Go to the classification view in the SAP system and check the definition of the characteristic that is causing the error. Ensure that it is indeed defined as single-valued.
  
  
  
  Review Data Entry:
  
  Review the data entry or configuration process where the error occurred. Ensure that only one value is being assigned to the characteristic in question.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If you are using variant configuration, check the configuration profile and ensure that the characteristic is not being incorrectly assigned multiple values in the configuration process.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction:
  
  Ensure that you are using the correct transaction for the task you are performing. Sometimes, using the wrong transaction can lead to unexpected behavior.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on handling characteristics and classifications.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to identify where the multiple values are being assigned. This may require technical knowledge of the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Single-Valued Characteristics: These are characteristics that can only take one value at a time. Examples include color, size, or any other attribute that should not have multiple entries.
  Classification System: SAP's classification system allows for the categorization of materials and products based on various characteristics.
  Variant Configuration: This is a process in SAP that allows for the configuration of products based on customer requirements, often using characteristics to define options.
