  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_CHAR_VAL059 - No characteristic value groupings exist for the specified characteristic
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign or use characteristic value groupings for a characteristic, but no value groupings have been defined or maintained for that characteristic in the system.
  In SAP, characteristic value groupings are used to group characteristic values for easier selection or processing, especially in classification, variant configuration, or variant management scenarios. If the system expects value groupings but none exist, it throws this error.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During classification or variant configuration when selecting characteristic values.
  When using value groupings in variant configuration or classification.
  When a characteristic is assigned to a class and the system expects value groupings for that characteristic.
  When processing or validating characteristic values in master data or transactional data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Characteristic Value Groupings:
  
  Go to transaction CT04 (Change Characteristic).
  Enter the characteristic name and choose Value Groupings.
  Define the required value groupings for the characteristic.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Check Class and Characteristic Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the characteristic is correctly assigned to the class.
  Verify if the characteristic is expected to have value groupings in the business process.

  Check if the characteristic values exist and are consistent.
