  SAP Error Message: WRF_CHAR_VAL004
  Text: Indicate where you want to add the entries
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to add entries (such as characteristic values or classification data) but have not specified the location or context where these entries should be added. In other words, the system expects you to indicate the target object, characteristic, or classification node where the new entries should be inserted, but this information is missing or incomplete.
  This typically happens in scenarios involving:
  
  Classification data maintenance (e.g., in transaction CL20N, CL24N)
  Characteristic value assignments
  When working with variant configuration or classification objects
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to:
  
  
  Specify the Target Location:
  
  When adding entries, make sure you explicitly indicate the object, characteristic, or classification node where the entries should be added. This could be done by:
  
  Selecting the correct characteristic or class in the classification screen.
  Navigating to the correct node or object in the hierarchy.
  Ensuring that the input fields for the target location are filled.
  
  
  
  Check the Input Screen:
  
  Review the screen or dialog where you are adding entries and verify that all mandatory fields related to the target location are completed.
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction or Functionality:
  
  Ensure you are using the appropriate transaction or function module for adding entries and that you follow the correct sequence of steps.
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Help:
  
  If unsure, use the SAP help or F1 help on the fields to understand what is expected.
