  The SAP error message RMSRCPMIG044 indicates that a specific characteristic (denoted as &2) does not exist in a specified class (denoted as &1) of class type 102. This error typically arises during processes involving classification in SAP, particularly when working with materials or objects that are classified using characteristics.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Characteristic: The characteristic you are trying to use does not exist in the specified class. This could be due to a typo, or the characteristic may not have been created or assigned to the class.
  Incorrect Class Type: The class type (102 in this case) may not be set up correctly, or the characteristic may not be valid for that class type.
  Data Migration Issues: If this error occurs during a data migration process, it may indicate that the migration did not include all necessary characteristics or classes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Class Definition:
  
  Go to the transaction code CL02 (Change Class) and check the class with the specified class number (replace &1 with the actual class number).
  Verify if the characteristic (replace &2 with the actual characteristic name) is listed under the class.
  
  
  
  Create or Assign Characteristic:
  
  If the characteristic does not exist, you may need to create it using transaction code CT04 (Create Characteristic).
  After creating the characteristic, ensure it is assigned to the correct class using CL02.
