- Characteristic type for &1 not changeable; is not "character format" ?Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message: SAP Error Message: WRF_CHAR_VAL036 Text: Characteristic type for &1 not changeable; is not "character format"
Cause: This error occurs when you attempt to change the characteristic type of a characteristic in SAP that is not of the "character" format. In SAP, characteristics can have different data types (formats), such as: Character (CHAR) Numeric (NUM) Date (DATE) Time (TIME) etc. The system restricts changes to the characteristic type if the characteristic is not of the character format. This is because certain operations or changes are only valid for characteristics defined as character type. When does this happen? When trying to change the characteristic type (e.g., in classification or variant configuration). When trying to assign or modify values or properties that are only valid for character-type characteristics. Possibly during transport or customization activities where characteristic definitions are being adjusted.
Solution: Check the characteristic format: Go to transaction CT04 (Change Characteristic). Enter the characteristic name &1 (the one mentioned in the error). Check
