  Identify the Characteristics: Determine which characteristics are bound to the same column in the variant table. You can do this by reviewing the configuration settings in the SAP system.
  
  
  Review the Variant Table Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code CU50 (Configuration of Variant Table).
  Check the configuration of the variant table and identify the columns and their corresponding characteristics.
  
  
  
  Modify the Configuration:
  
  If you find that multiple characteristics are assigned to the same column, you will need to modify the configuration.
  Remove the duplicate characteristic from the column or reassign it to a different column that does not conflict with other characteristics.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the variant table functions as expected.
  
  
  Documentation: Document the changes made for future reference and to help prevent similar issues from occurring.
  
  
  Related Information:
