• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VSCE464 - Characteristic &1 hat values with a unit ?

  The SAP error message VSCE464 indicates that a characteristic (denoted by &1) has values that are associated with a unit of measure. This typically occurs in the context of variant configuration, where characteristics can have values that are numeric and may require a unit of measure for proper interpretation.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A characteristic is defined to have values that are numeric and associated with a unit of measure.
  The system expects these values to be defined correctly with their respective units, but they are either missing or incorrectly configured.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VSCE464 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Definition:
  
  Go to the characteristic definition in the SAP system (Transaction code: CT04).
  Ensure that the characteristic is correctly defined to include a unit of measure if it is supposed to have one.
  
  
  
  Review Value Assignment:
  
  Check the values assigned to the characteristic. Make sure that each value has an associated unit of measure if required.
  If the characteristic is meant to have values without a unit, consider changing its configuration to remove the unit requirement.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration Settings:
  
  If the characteristic is part of a class or a variant configuration model, ensure that the configuration settings are correctly set up to handle units of measure.
  You may need to adjust the configuration profile or the class settings to align with the intended use of the characteristic.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  Create or modify a variant that uses the characteristic to verify that it behaves as expected.
