  The SAP error message VCH_HL_DEP_TRACE062 indicates an inconsistency in the assignment of a characteristic in a variant configuration scenario. Specifically, it suggests that a characteristic is both excluded and assigned to a configuration, which creates a contradiction.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises in the context of variant configuration when:
  
  A characteristic is marked as excluded in a certain context (e.g., in a dependency or a class) but is also assigned to a configuration or a product.

  Check Characteristic Settings:
  
  Go to the characteristic in question and verify its settings. Ensure that it is not marked as excluded in any relevant dependencies or configuration profiles.

  If the characteristic is part of a configuration profile, ensure that it is correctly included in the profile and not marked for exclusion.
  
  
  
  Test Configuration:
