• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UCMV002 - Specify a value for each version characteristic ?

  The SAP error message UCMV002 ("Specify a value for each version characteristic") typically occurs in the context of SAP's Variant Configuration (VC) when you are trying to create or modify a configurable material without providing values for all required characteristics.
  Cause:
  This error arises when:
  
  You are attempting to create or change a configuration for a product that has mandatory characteristics defined in its configuration profile.
  One or more of these mandatory characteristics do not have values assigned, which is necessary for the system to generate a valid configuration.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the UCMV002 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration Profile:
  
  Go to the configuration profile of the material in question and identify the mandatory characteristics.
  Ensure that all mandatory characteristics are included in the configuration.
  
  
  
  Provide Values for All Characteristics:
  
  When configuring the material, make sure to provide values for each of the mandatory characteristics.
  If you are using a transaction like CU50 (Configuration) or a similar one, ensure that you fill in all required fields.
  
  
  
  Review Characteristic Settings:
  
  If you believe you have provided values for all characteristics, double-check the settings of the characteristics in the material master or class. Ensure that they are marked as required and that there are no additional dependencies or constraints that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Use the Configuration UI:
  
  If you are using a user interface for configuration, ensure that you are navigating through all the required steps and that you are not skipping any mandatory fields.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Sometimes, characteristics may have dependencies that require certain values to be set based on the selection of other characteristics. Review any dependencies that might affect the configuration.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are still facing issues, refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on handling variant configuration errors.
