• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VCH_L2A_CHECKS108 - Hidden characteristics only greyed out on valuation screen ?

  The SAP error message "VCH_L2A_CHECKS108" typically indicates that certain characteristics are hidden or greyed out on the valuation screen in the context of variant configuration. This can occur in scenarios where the system is unable to display or allow changes to specific characteristics due to configuration settings or the current state of the product.
  Cause:
  
  Hidden Characteristics: The characteristics may be set as hidden in the configuration profile or in the class settings. This means they are not intended to be displayed or modified during the configuration process.
  Dependency Settings: There may be dependencies defined in the configuration that control the visibility of certain characteristics based on the values of other characteristics.
  Configuration Profile: The configuration profile assigned to the material may not include the characteristics in question, or they may be set to be hidden.
  Status of the Object: The object being configured may be in a status that does not allow changes to certain characteristics.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Characteristic Settings: Review the characteristics in the class associated with the material. Ensure that the characteristics are not set to "hidden" in the class definition.
  Review Dependencies: Check the dependencies defined for the material. Ensure that there are no conditions that would cause the characteristics to be hidden based on the current configuration.
  Configuration Profile: Verify the configuration profile assigned to the material. Make sure that the characteristics are included and not marked as hidden.
  Material Status: Ensure that the material is in a status that allows for configuration changes. If the material is locked or in a specific status, it may restrict changes to certain characteristics.
