Message text: No characteristic value &2 exists for characteristic &1 due to compound
You made an entry for a characteristic which is compounded with
another. This means that this characteristic is always interpreted in
connection with the value of one or more other characteristics.
This is visible in the list of possible entries under F4 where several
columns of characteristics are displayed. The characteristic value you
entered may not be displayed as you entered it, but in combination with
the characteristic values which you chose for other characteristics.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
This may have been caused by one of the two following situations:
RESET N1
The characteristic value you entered exists, but not in combination
with the value or values which you specified for the superior
characteristic(s). Change this or the other characteristic values
accordingly.
The characteristic value you entered might not exist. If you actually
wanted to enter another characteristic value, correct the entry. If you
wish to use characteristic value &V2&, you must maintain it in the
master data.
