• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RELSTRAT_MSG013 - Only single value allowed for the Characterictic & ?

  The SAP error message RELSTRAT_MSG013 indicates that a characteristic in a selection or configuration scenario is being assigned multiple values when only a single value is allowed. This typically occurs in the context of variant configuration or when defining characteristics in a class or material master.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Values Assigned: The characteristic in question is defined to accept only a single value, but the system is receiving multiple values for that characteristic.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for the material or class may not be set up correctly, leading to this error when trying to create or modify a configuration.
  User Input Error: The user may have inadvertently selected multiple values for a characteristic that is restricted to a single value.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Settings: 
  
  Go to the characteristic definition in the SAP system and verify that it is indeed set to allow only a single value. This can be done in the transaction code CT04 (for characteristics).
  Ensure that the characteristic is not mistakenly set to allow multiple values.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you are working with a configurable material, check the configuration profile and ensure that the characteristics are correctly defined.
  Use transaction CU50 to simulate the configuration and see where the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Correct User Input:
  
  If the error arises from user input, ensure that the user is aware that only a single value can be selected for that characteristic. Provide guidance or validation checks in the user interface to prevent multiple selections.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider debugging the configuration process to identify where the multiple values are being introduced. This may involve checking the code or logic that handles the characteristic values.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to variant configuration and characteristics to ensure compliance with best practices.
