• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KX191 - No char.values found in range entered -> Char.values not inserted ?

  The SAP error message KX191 ("No char.values found in range entered -> Char.values not inserted") typically occurs when you are trying to enter or process characteristic values in a configuration or variant configuration scenario, but the system cannot find any valid characteristic values based on the range you have specified.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Characteristic Value Range: The range of characteristic values you have entered does not match any existing values in the system.
  Missing Characteristic Values: The characteristic values you are trying to use may not be defined in the system for the specific characteristic.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or configuration data that prevent the system from recognizing the characteristic values.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or use certain characteristic values.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Values:
  
  Verify that the characteristic values you are trying to enter actually exist in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant characteristic in the configuration settings and checking the defined values.
  
  
  
  Review the Range Specification:
  
  Ensure that the range of values you are entering is correct. If you are using a range (e.g., from X to Y), make sure that both X and Y are valid characteristic values.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Perform a consistency check on the master data and configuration data to ensure that there are no discrepancies. This can often be done through transaction codes like CU50 (for configuration) or CT04 (for characteristics).
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and use the characteristic values. You may need to consult with your SAP security team if you suspect authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the relevant SAP documentation or help files for any specific notes or guidelines related to the characteristic values you are working with.
