    SAP Error Message:

    WGDS_ENH109: Characteristics profile &2 is not assigned to material group &1


    Cause:

    This error occurs when you try to assign or use a characteristics profile that has not been assigned to the relevant material group in the classification system. In SAP, characteristics profiles are linked to material groups to ensure that only valid profiles are used for materials belonging to those groups.

    • Material Group (&1): The material group to which the material belongs.
    • Characteristics Profile (&2): The profile containing classification characteristics intended to be used for materials in the specified group.

    If the characteristics profile is not assigned to the material group, the system throws this error to prevent inconsistent or invalid classification data.


    Solution:

    To resolve this error, you need to assign the characteristics profile to the material group in the classification system.

    Steps:

    1. Go to transaction CT04 (Change Characteristics) or CT03 (Display Characteristics) to verify the characteristics profile.

    2. Assign the characteristics profile to the material group:

      • Use transaction CT04 or CL24N (Classification Maintenance) to check the profiles.
      • Alternatively, use transaction SPRO to navigate to the IMG path:
        Logistics - General > Classification System > Basic Settings > Assign Characteristics Profiles to Material Groups
      • Here, assign the relevant characteristics profile (&2) to the material group (&1).
    3. Save the assignment.

    4. Retry the operation that caused the error.
