Message text: Cannot determine the value of higher-level characteristic &1
Characteristic &v1& is assigned as a higher-level characteristic for a
subassignment characteristic in the data structure (&v2&). However, its
value cannot be determined because characteristic &v1& is not included
in the data structure and it does not have a globally defined value.
If this message was issued as an error message, processing will be
terminated. In all other cases data with the data structure affected
will be excluded from processing.

UCM0065
- Cannot determine the value of higher-level characteristic &1 ?The SAP error message UCM0065, which states "Cannot determine the value of higher-level characteristic &1," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Variant Configuration (VC) or when dealing with characteristics in a configuration model. This error indicates that the system is unable to derive or find a value for a higher-level characteristic based on the current configuration or selection of lower-level characteristics.
Causes:
Missing Dependencies: There may be missing or incorrectly defined dependencies between characteristics. If the system cannot find a valid combination of lower-level characteristics to derive the higher-level characteristic, this error will occur.
Incorrect Configuration: The configuration might not be set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies in how characteristics are related.
Incomplete Master Data: The master data for the characteristics may be incomplete or not properly maintained, which can prevent the system from determining the higher-level characteristic value.
Invalid Combinations: The selected values for lower-level characteristics may not be valid combinations that allow for the determination of the higher-level characteristic.
Missing Values in the Configuration Profile: The configuration profile may not have the necessary settings or values defined for the higher-level characteristic.
Solutions:
Check Dependencies: Review the dependencies defined for the characteristics in the configuration model. Ensure that all necessary dependencies are correctly set up and that they logically connect the lower-level characteristics to the higher-level characteristic.
Validate Configuration: Go through the configuration settings to ensure that they are correct and complete. Make sure that all required characteristics are included and that their relationships are properly defined.
Review Master Data: Check the master data for the characteristics involved. Ensure that all values are correctly maintained and that there are no missing entries.
Test Combinations: Experiment with different combinations of lower-level characteristics to see if any valid combinations can derive the higher-level characteristic. This can help identify if specific values are causing the issue.
Configuration Profile Settings: Verify the settings in the configuration profile for the product. Ensure that the higher-level characteristic is included and that its values are defined.
Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling characteristic dependencies and configuration issues.
