  The SAP error message WMOD068 indicates that a value scale (a set of predefined values for a characteristic) does not have any descriptive text associated with it. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with characteristics in the SAP system, particularly in the context of classification or variant configuration.
  Cause:
