• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PMEVC_UI443 - Suffix &1 does not match char. group &2 of profile &3 (material &4) ?

  The SAP error message PMEVC_UI443 indicates that there is a mismatch between the suffix of a material and the character group defined in the profile for that material. This typically occurs in the context of variant configuration or when dealing with configurable materials in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Suffix Mismatch: The suffix of the material (which is often used to differentiate between different variants of a product) does not correspond to the character group defined in the configuration profile. This can happen if the material was created or modified incorrectly, or if the configuration profile was not set up properly.
  Profile Configuration: The configuration profile may not have been set up to accept the suffix being used, or the suffix may not be valid for the character group associated with the material.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or configuration data that lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Configuration: Review the configuration of the material in question. Ensure that the suffix used is valid and corresponds to the character group defined in the configuration profile.
  Review Character Group: Check the character group settings in the configuration profile. Make sure that the suffix you are trying to use is included in the character group.
  Adjust Profile Settings: If necessary, adjust the configuration profile to include the correct suffix or to allow for the suffix being used.
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the material and its configuration to ensure that all related data is correct and aligned.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring materials and profiles in your version of SAP.
