• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMU/PPE_CMP_UI009 - Variants without class assignment are not considered ?

  The SAP error message /PLMU/PPE_CMP_UI009 Variants without class assignment are not considered typically occurs in the context of SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or SAP Variant Configuration (VC). This error indicates that there are variants in the system that do not have a class assignment, which is necessary for the system to process them correctly.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Class Assignment: The primary cause of this error is that certain variants in the system are not assigned to a class. In SAP, classes are used to group characteristics that can be assigned to materials or variants. If a variant lacks this assignment, it cannot be processed in the context of configuration or planning.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings that prevent the proper assignment of classes to variants.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There could be inconsistencies or missing data in the master data setup, leading to variants being created without the necessary class assignments.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Class Assignment:
  
  Go to the transaction code CL02 (Change Class) or CL03 (Display Class) to check if the variants in question are assigned to the correct class.
  If they are not assigned, you can assign them to the appropriate class using CL01 (Create Class) or CL02.
  
  
  
  Review Variant Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the variant configuration is set up correctly. Check the configuration profiles and ensure that all necessary characteristics are included and properly assigned to classes.
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup:
  
  If there are many variants without class assignments, consider running a report or transaction to identify and correct these inconsistencies. You may need to consult with your data management team to clean up the master data.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to variant configuration and class assignments for any specific guidelines or best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the variants are processed correctly.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CL01, CL02, CL03, CU01 (for configuration profiles), and CS01 (for creating BOMs).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Roles: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to make changes to classes and variants.
  Training: Consider training for users involved in variant configuration to ensure they understand the importance of class assignments.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP PLM or Variant Configuration.
