SAP Error Message:
WRF_APC157: Select mat. group / char. profile with 1 - 3 variant-creating charact.
Cause:
This error occurs in the SAP Variant Configuration (LO-VC) or Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APC) environment when you try to create or process a material variant, but the system detects that the selected material group or characteristic profile does not have the required number of variant-creating characteristics assigned.
Specifically, the message indicates that the material group or characteristic profile must have between 1 and 3 variant-creating characteristics defined. Variant-creating characteristics are those characteristics that define the variants of a configurable material. If none or too many are assigned, the system cannot correctly generate or identify variants.
