  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_CHAR_VAL069
  
  Text: No characteristic values have been maintained yet for this characteristic.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to use or assign a characteristic in a classification or variant configuration, but no values have been maintained for that characteristic in the system. In other words, the characteristic exists, but it does not have any characteristic values defined yet.
  This situation typically arises in the following scenarios:  
  
  When creating or changing a class or characteristic and the characteristic values have not been created or assigned.  
  When configuring a material or object that uses this characteristic, but the system cannot find any valid values to select from.  
  When a characteristic is referenced in a configuration profile or variant but lacks maintained values.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to maintain characteristic values for the characteristic in question. Here are the steps:
  
  
  Go to the transaction for characteristic maintenance:  
  
  Use transaction CT04 (Change Characteristic).
  
  
  
  Enter the characteristic name that caused the error.
  
  
  Maintain characteristic values:  
  
  Navigate to the tab or section where characteristic values are maintained (usually the "Characteristic Values" tab).  
  Add the required characteristic values that are valid for your business scenario.
  
  
  
  Save the characteristic after maintaining the values.
  
  
  Re-run the process that caused the error to verify that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Characteristics and characteristic values are fundamental in SAP Classification and Variant Configuration. Characteristics define the attributes, and characteristic values define the possible values these attributes can take.  
  If you are working with variant configuration (LO-VC), missing characteristic values will prevent the system from allowing valid selections during configuration.  
  Sometimes, characteristic values are maintained in classifications or material master data, so ensure that the characteristic is properly linked and values are maintained in the correct context.  
  If the characteristic is supposed to have external values (e.g., from a value table), ensure that the value table is correctly assigned and populated.
