• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UMM_CUSTOMIZING032 - No characteristic values were found for the characteristic &1 ?

  The SAP error message UMM_CUSTOMIZING032 indicates that no characteristic values were found for the specified characteristic (denoted as &1). This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Variant Configuration (VC) or when working with characteristics in the context of product models.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Characteristic Values: The characteristic defined in the configuration does not have any assigned values in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The characteristic may not be properly configured in the system, or it may not be linked to the relevant object (e.g., material, class).
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or configuration settings that prevent the system from retrieving the characteristic values.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the characteristic values.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code CT04 (Change Characteristic) and verify that the characteristic exists and is correctly configured.
  Ensure that the characteristic has assigned values in the "Values" tab.
  
  
  
  Assign Characteristic Values:
  
  If the characteristic is missing values, you can add the necessary values in the same transaction (CT04) or through the relevant configuration transaction.
  
  
  
  Check Material/Configuration Profile:
  
  Ensure that the material or configuration profile you are working with is correctly linked to the characteristic. You can check this in the material master (transaction code MM03) or in the configuration profile settings.
  
  
  
  Review Class Assignment:
  
  If the characteristic is part of a class, ensure that the class is correctly assigned to the material or object in question. You can check this in transaction code CL03 (Display Class).
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the characteristic values. This can be checked with the help of your SAP security team.
