• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OT380 - Attribute &1 is permitted only if attribute &2 is also set ?

  The SAP error message OT380 indicates that there is a dependency between two attributes in your configuration. Specifically, it means that the attribute you are trying to set (denoted as &1) can only be used if another attribute (denoted as &2) is also set. This is a common validation check in SAP to ensure that the data integrity and business rules are maintained.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises in scenarios where:
  
  You are trying to configure a product or a variant in SAP (for example, in SAP Variant Configuration).
  The attribute you are trying to set has a prerequisite attribute that must also be defined.
  The configuration model has been set up in such a way that certain attributes are interdependent.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Identify the Attributes: Check the specific attributes mentioned in the error message. Identify which attribute is &1 (the one you are trying to set) and which is &2 (the prerequisite attribute).
  
  
  Set the Prerequisite Attribute: Ensure that the prerequisite attribute (&2) is set before you attempt to set the dependent attribute (&1). You may need to review the configuration model to understand the relationships between attributes.
  
  
  Review Configuration Model: If you have access to the configuration model, review the dependencies and constraints defined for the attributes. This can often be done in the configuration profile or the class characteristics.
  
  
  Test Configuration: After making the necessary changes, test the configuration again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for Variant Configuration or the specific module you are working with to understand the attribute dependencies better.
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like CU01 (Create Configuration Profile) or CU02 (Change Configuration Profile) to manage attributes and their dependencies.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to attribute dependencies in your version of SAP.
  Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide guidance based on your specific configuration.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the OT380 error and successfully configure your attributes in SAP.
