• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UCU1104 - &2 and &3 must match for characteristic &1 ?

  The SAP error message UCU1104 indicates that there is a mismatch between the values of two characteristics in a classification system. Specifically, the error message format is as follows:
  UCU1104 &2 and &3 must match for characteristic &1
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the context of classification in SAP, where you are trying to assign values to characteristics of a class or object. The error suggests that two characteristics (denoted as &2 and &3) are expected to have matching values for a specific characteristic (denoted as &1), but they do not.
  Common causes include:
  
  Incorrect data entry where the values for the characteristics do not align as required.
  Configuration issues in the classification system where the dependencies between characteristics are not properly defined.
  Changes in the classification data that have not been updated or synchronized across related characteristics.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the UCU1104 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Values: Review the values assigned to the characteristics in question. Ensure that the values for &2 and &3 are indeed supposed to match for characteristic &1.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, check the dependencies and relationships defined for the characteristics in the classification system. Make sure that the settings are correct and that they reflect the intended logic.
  
  
  Data Consistency: Ensure that the data entered is consistent across all relevant records. If there are discrepancies, correct them to ensure that the values match as required.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the expected values or the configuration, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with a colleague who has experience with the classification system.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the classification again to ensure that the error is resolved.
