  The SAP error message DMS_VWR024 indicates that the top-level material specified is not configured for variant configuration. This typically occurs in scenarios where a material is expected to have configurable characteristics but is not set up correctly in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Material Master Configuration: The material in question may not be marked as configurable in the material master data. This means that the system does not recognize it as a variant material.
  Missing Configuration Profile: The material may not have an associated configuration profile, which is necessary for defining the characteristics and options available for configuration.
  Incorrect Usage: The material might be used in a context that requires it to be configurable, but it has not been set up as such.

  Assign Configuration Profile:

  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the variant configuration (transaction code CU50) to ensure that all necessary characteristics and dependencies are defined correctly.
