  Text: Characteristic type (CHARTYP) of characteristic &1 is missing
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to process a characteristic in classification or variant configuration, but the characteristic does not have a characteristic type (CHARTYP) assigned in the system. The characteristic type defines the data type and behavior of the characteristic (e.g., numeric, character, date, etc.).

  The characteristic type (CHARTYP) is a key attribute that determines how the characteristic values are handled.
  If the characteristic type is missing or not maintained, the system throws this error when trying to use or validate the characteristic.
