• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC125 - Enter at least one characteristic value ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC125 - Enter at least one characteristic value
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you are working with Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or Variant Configuration (VC) and the system expects at least one characteristic value to be entered for a configurable material or a planning object, but none has been provided.
  In other words, the system requires you to specify at least one characteristic (e.g., color, size, material type) to uniquely identify or configure the product or planning object. If you leave all characteristic values blank, the system cannot proceed and throws this error.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During product configuration in SAP Variant Configuration (VC).
  While creating or changing a planning object in APO (e.g., SNP, DP, or PP/DS).
  When entering data in a planning book or interactive planning screen where characteristic values are mandatory.
  When creating or maintaining a product with configurable characteristics but no values are entered.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter at least one characteristic value:
  
  Make sure to input at least one characteristic value for the configurable material or planning object. This can be done in the configuration screen or planning book.
  
  
  Check the configuration profile:
  
  Verify that the configuration profile or planning object is set up correctly and that the characteristics are properly assigned and marked as mandatory or optional as per business requirements.
  
  
  Review the planning book or input template:
  
  If working in APO planning books, ensure that the characteristic selection criteria are correctly defined and that the user input screen allows entering characteristic values.
  
  
  Check default values or dependencies:
  
  Sometimes, dependencies or default values can help pre-fill characteristic values. Review if these are set up correctly to avoid empty entries.
  
  
  Consult with configuration or APO consultant:
  
  If unsure which characteristic values to enter, consult with the product configuration or APO team to understand the required characteristics for the product or planning object.
