  The SAP error message WMOD021 indicates that there is no value scale defined for the variant-creating characteristics in the context of variant configuration. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or manage a variant configuration model, and the system cannot find the necessary value scale for the characteristics involved.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Value Scale: The primary cause of this error is that the characteristic in question does not have an associated value scale defined in the system.
