• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_ENH108 - Material group &1 has no characteristics profile assignments ?

  The SAP error message:
  WGDS_ENH108: Material group &1 has no characteristics profile assignments
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you try to create or change a material master or classification data, and the system cannot find a characteristics profile assigned to the material group specified. In SAP Classification (Class/Characteristics), a characteristics profile defines which characteristics are relevant for a particular material group. If no profile is assigned, the system does not know which characteristics to propose or validate for the material group.
  In other words, the material group you are working with does not have an associated characteristics profile, so the system cannot proceed with classification or characteristic assignment.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During material master creation or change (especially when classification data is involved).
  When using classification-based enhancements or user exits that expect a characteristics profile assignment.
  In scenarios involving variant configuration or classification where characteristics profiles are mandatory.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign a Characteristics Profile to the Material Group:
  
  
  Go to transaction CT04 (Characteristics) or CT03 (Class).
  
  
  Identify the characteristics profile that should be assigned to the material group.
  
  
  Use transaction CT04 or CT04 to maintain the characteristics profile.
  
  
  Assign the characteristics profile to the material group in the customizing path:
  Logistics ? General ? Material Master ? Classification ? Assign Characteristics Profile to Material Group
  Or directly via transaction SPRO:
  SPRO ? Logistics General ? Material Master ? Classification ? Assign Characteristics Profile to Material Group
  
  
  
  
  Check Material Group Settings:
  
  Verify that the material group is correctly maintained in the system.
  Ensure that the material group is active and valid for the plant or organizational level you are working with.
  
  
  
  If No Characteristics Profile Exists:
  
  Create a new characteristics profile with the required characteristics.
  Assign it to the material group as above.
  
  
  
  Check User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  If the error occurs in a custom enhancement or user exit, verify that the logic correctly handles cases where no characteristics profile is assigned.
  Add error handling or default assignments as needed.
