  Error Message
  WRF_CHAR_VAL035: Enter a characteristic value
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a characteristic value is required but has not been entered. In SAP, characteristics are used in classification and variant configuration to define attributes of materials, documents, or objects. When a characteristic is marked as mandatory or required in the configuration or classification, the system expects a value to be entered before proceeding.
  Typical scenarios include:
  
  Creating or changing a classification where a mandatory characteristic value is missing.
  Configuring a variant where a required characteristic value is not provided.
  Entering data in a sales order or production order that involves configurable materials or classified objects.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error:
  
  
  Identify the characteristic that requires a value:
  
  The system usually indicates which characteristic is missing a value.
  Check the classification or configuration screen for fields marked as mandatory.
  
  
  
  Enter a valid characteristic value:
  
  Input a value that is allowed for the characteristic.
  If the characteristic has a fixed set of values (value range), select one from the list.
  If it is a free characteristic, enter an appropriate value.
  
  
  
  Check characteristic settings:
  
  In transaction CT04 (Maintain Characteristics), verify if the characteristic is set as mandatory.
  If the characteristic should not be mandatory, adjust the settings accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review class or configuration profile:
  
  In transaction CL02 (Change Class), check if the characteristic is assigned as mandatory.
  In variant configuration (transaction CU50, CU51), check the dependency or constraint that might require the characteristic.
  
  
  
  Save and proceed:
  
  After entering the required characteristic value, save the data and continue with the process.

  Transactions:
  
  CT04 – Maintain Characteristics
  CL02 – Change Class
  CU50 – Change Variant Configuration
  CU51 – Display Variant Configuration
  CU53 – Check Variant Configuration
  
  
  
  Notes:
  
  Mandatory characteristics ensure data consistency and completeness.
  If the characteristic is not supposed to be mandatory, review the configuration or classification setup.
  In variant configuration, dependencies or constraints might enforce mandatory values dynamically.
  
  
  
  Additional Tips:
  
  Use the SAP help or F1 help on the characteristic field to understand allowed values.
  Check if user exits or BAdIs are enforcing characteristic values programmatically.
