• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G00022 - Default value to char. &1 does not exist for value &2 from char. &3 ?

  The SAP error message G00022 indicates that there is an issue with a default value for a characteristic in a configuration or variant configuration scenario. Specifically, the message states that the default value for a characteristic (denoted as &1) does not exist for a specific value (&2) from another characteristic (&3). This typically occurs in the context of product configuration where certain characteristics are interdependent.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Default Value: The primary cause of this error is that the system is trying to assign a default value to a characteristic, but that default value is not defined in the system for the specified combination of characteristics.
  Configuration Settings: There may be a misconfiguration in the characteristics or dependencies that govern how values are assigned.
  Data Inconsistency: There could be inconsistencies in the master data or configuration profiles that lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Characteristic Definitions: Go to the configuration of the characteristics involved and ensure that the default values are correctly defined for the characteristic &1. Make sure that the value &2 is valid for the characteristic &3.
  Review Dependencies: If there are dependencies (e.g., class dependencies, procedure dependencies) defined for the characteristics, review them to ensure they are correctly set up and that they allow for the expected combinations of values.
  Maintain Default Values: If the default value is indeed missing, you will need to maintain it in the configuration settings. This can typically be done in the transaction code CT04 (for characteristics) or CU01 (for configuration profiles).
  Test Configuration: After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the expected behavior is achieved.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the configuration settings, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a functional consultant who specializes in variant configuration.
