  The SAP error message UCF6802, which states "Characteristic &1 has not been specified," typically occurs in the context of SAP's classification system, particularly when working with characteristics in the classification of materials or objects. This error indicates that a required characteristic has not been defined or specified in the relevant context.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Characteristic Definition: The characteristic that is referenced in the error message (denoted by &1) has not been defined in the classification system.
