  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_CHAR_VAL079: Table WRFT_CUSTFLD not maintained for characteristic type &1, language &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to access or validate characteristic values for a specific characteristic type, but the corresponding custom field table (WRFT_CUSTFLD) has not been maintained or configured for that characteristic type and language.
  In SAP Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX), characteristics can be extended with custom fields. These custom fields are stored in specific tables linked to characteristic types. If the system expects to find entries in the WRFT_CUSTFLD table for a given characteristic type and language but finds none, it raises this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When working with characteristics in RE-FX (e.g., during contract processing, object management, or valuation).
  When custom fields for a characteristic type have not been set up properly.
  When the system tries to read or validate characteristic values but the configuration is incomplete.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain the Custom Field Table for the Characteristic Type:
  
  Go to transaction SPRO ? SAP Reference IMG ? Flexible Real Estate Management ? Basic Functions ? Characteristics ? Define Custom Fields for Characteristics.
  Ensure that the characteristic type in question has the custom fields maintained.
  Maintain entries in the WRFT_CUSTFLD table for the characteristic type and the relevant language.
  
  
  
  Check Language Settings:
  
  Make sure that the language (&2 in the message) is supported and maintained in the system.
  If necessary, maintain the language-dependent texts or descriptions for the custom fields.
  
  
  
  Verify Characteristic Type Configuration:
  
  Check the characteristic type configuration in transaction SPRO or relevant customizing.
  Ensure that the characteristic type is correctly linked to the custom field table.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If this error appears after a transport or system copy, verify that the customizing for the characteristic type and custom fields has been transported correctly.
  Re-import or maintain the customizing if missing.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  The table WRFT_CUSTFLD stores metadata about custom fields assigned to characteristic types in RE-FX.
  This error is specific to SAP Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) module.
  The placeholders &1 and &2 in the message represent the characteristic type and language code respectively.
