• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IG208 - Class &1, characteristic &2: Reference (CSEVPERMIT) not supplied ?

  The SAP error message IG208 indicates that a reference for a characteristic in a class is not supplied. This typically occurs in the context of classification in SAP, where a class is defined with certain characteristics, and the system expects a reference value for those characteristics to be provided.
  Cause:
  The error message IG208 is triggered when:
  
  A characteristic that is defined in a class does not have a reference value assigned to it.
  The characteristic is marked as mandatory, meaning that it must have a value for the class instance to be valid.
  There may be issues with the configuration of the class or the characteristics themselves.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the IG208 error, you can take the following steps:

  Check if the characteristic is set as mandatory. If it is, ensure that it has a default value or that a value is provided when creating or changing the class instance.
  
  
  
  Check for Inheritance:
  
  If the class is a subclass, ensure that the parent class has the necessary reference values defined.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
