• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC025 - Specify either characteristic values or variant number, but not both ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC025 – Specify either characteristic values or variant number, but not both
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or Variant Configuration (VC) scenarios when a user or process tries to specify both:
  
  Characteristic values (i.e., detailed attribute values of a configurable product), and
  A variant number (a predefined variant of the product)
  
  at the same time during order entry, product selection, or planning.
  SAP requires that you either specify the variant number or the characteristic values to identify the product configuration, but not both simultaneously. Providing both leads to ambiguity because the system cannot determine which input to prioritize.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During order creation or sales order processing involving configurable products.
  When using variant configuration in APO or ERP.
  When the system tries to resolve product configuration but receives conflicting input.
  In integration scenarios between SAP ERP and SAP APO where product variants and characteristics are used.
