  The SAP error message GR660 indicates that a characteristic is being used more than once in a characteristic set. This typically occurs in the context of variant configuration or when defining characteristics for a material in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A characteristic is defined multiple times within the same characteristic set.
  There is an attempt to assign the same characteristic to a configuration profile or a variant configuration model more than once.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the GR660 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Set: 
  
  Go to the characteristic set in question and review the characteristics included in it. Ensure that each characteristic is unique and not duplicated.
  
  
  
  Modify Characteristic Assignment:
  
  If you find that a characteristic is indeed listed more than once, remove the duplicate entry. You can do this by editing the characteristic set in the configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Profiles:
  
  If the error occurs in a configuration profile, check the profile settings to ensure that no characteristic is assigned multiple times.
  
  
  
  Recreate Characteristic Set:
  
  If the issue persists and you cannot identify the duplicates, consider recreating the characteristic set from scratch, ensuring that each characteristic is added only once.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  If there are dependencies or links to other objects (like classes or materials), ensure that they are not causing the duplication.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the characteristic set was transported from another system, ensure that the transport did not cause any duplication issues.
