- Characteristic & already exists under this node ?The SAP error message RH136, which states "Characteristic & already exists under this node," typically occurs in the context of SAP's classification system, particularly when working with characteristics in the classification hierarchy. This error indicates that you are trying to create or assign a characteristic that already exists under the specified node in the classification hierarchy.
Cause:
- Duplicate Characteristic: The characteristic you are trying to create or assign already exists in the same node of the classification hierarchy.
- Incorrect Node Selection: You may be attempting to add a characteristic to a node where it is already defined.
- Data Entry Error: There might be a typographical error in the characteristic name, leading to confusion with an existing characteristic.
Solution:
Check Existing Characteristics: Before creating a new characteristic, check the existing characteristics under the specified node to confirm whether the characteristic already exists.
- Navigate to the classification system and review the characteristics under the relevant node.
Modify Existing Characteristic: If the characteristic already exists and you need to make changes, consider modifying the existing characteristic instead of creating a new one.
Use a Different Name: If you need to create a new characteristic, ensure that you use a unique name that does not conflict with existing characteristics under the same node.
Review Node Structure: Ensure that you are working within the correct node of the classification hierarchy. If you are in the wrong node, navigate to the appropriate one.
