• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E2131 - Active version of & does not contain values ?

  The SAP error message E2131, which states "Active version of & does not contain values," typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Management, particularly when dealing with characteristics and values in the context of variant configuration or classification.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises when:
  
  Missing Values: The active version of the characteristic does not have any values assigned to it. This can happen if the characteristic was created but not populated with any values.
  Incorrect Version: The system is referencing a version of the characteristic that is not active or does not have the necessary values.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as a mismatch between the characteristic and its values.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the E2131 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Values:
  
  Go to the transaction code CT04 (for characteristics) or CT05 (for characteristics with values).
  Verify that the characteristic in question has values assigned to it in the active version.
  
  
  
  Activate the Correct Version:
  
  If you have multiple versions of the characteristic, ensure that the correct version is active. You can do this in the transaction CT04 by checking the status of the characteristic.
  
  
  
  Create or Assign Values:
  
  If the characteristic does not have any values, you will need to create them. You can do this in the same transaction (CT04 or CT05).
  Ensure that the values are correctly assigned to the characteristic.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks to ensure that there are no discrepancies in the data. This can often be done through specific reports or transactions designed for data validation.
