Message type: E = Error
Message class: KG - CO-PA Planning
Message number: 550
Message text: Value "&" is not allowed for characteristic "&"
You have selected an invalid characteristic value.
In order to ensure that the plan structure is consistent, the system
requires that all the nodes that lie directly below the same node (at
the same level) represent different characteristic values of the same
characteristic.
In addition, a characteristic can only occur at one level of one branch
of the hierarchy.
This characteristic value is not allowed.
Check your structure again and, if necessary, select a different
characteristic value.
