  Solution:
  
  Check Characteristic Configuration: Review the configuration of the characteristics in the SAP system. Ensure that the compounded characteristics are set up correctly and that you are using them in the appropriate context.
  Use the Correct Characteristics: If you are trying to use a characteristic that is compounded with another, you may need to use the base characteristic instead of the compounded one. Check the documentation or configuration to identify the correct characteristics to use.
  Adjust Data Entry: If you are entering data manually, ensure that you are not mixing compounded and non-compounded characteristics in a way that violates the rules set in the system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on how to handle compounded characteristics in your particular scenario.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling compounded characteristics.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to characteristic configuration, such as KEB0 (for CO-PA) or KEDR (for characteristic derivation).

  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the K6707 error and ensure that your characteristics are used correctly in your SAP environment.
