  The SAP error message VC2OD_DMT_ASSIST044 indicates that there is an issue with the characteristic in a variant configuration scenario. Specifically, it means that the characteristic identified by &1 is defined with interval values, which are not allowed in the context where you are trying to use them.
  Cause:
  
  Interval Values: The characteristic in question is defined to accept interval values (e.g., ranges like 10-20), but the system does not support interval values for the specific operation you are attempting (e.g., in a variant configuration model).
  Configuration Settings: The characteristic may be incorrectly configured in the context of the variant configuration, where only single values or specific allowed values are expected.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Definition:
  
  Go to the characteristic definition in the SAP system (Transaction CT04).
  Verify if the characteristic is set to allow interval values. If it is, consider changing it to allow only single values or specific allowed values.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration Profile:
  
  Review the configuration profile or class where the characteristic is used (Transaction CU01 or CU02).
  Ensure that the characteristic is correctly defined and that it aligns with the expected input types for the configuration.
  
  
  
  Modify the Variant Configuration:
  
  If the characteristic is being used in a variant configuration model, ensure that it is compatible with the model's requirements. You may need to remove the interval values or redefine how the characteristic is used.
