SAP Error Message:
WRF_CHAR_VAL115 - Update of table AUSP for generic articles failed
Cause:
This error typically occurs during the update or maintenance of characteristics values for generic articles (material master data) in SAP. The table AUSP stores characteristic values for classification objects (such as materials). When updating characteristics for generic articles, the system tries to update entries in AUSP but fails due to one or more of the following reasons:
Locking Issues:
The AUSP table entries might be locked by another user or process, preventing the update.Authorization Problems:
The user performing the update may lack the necessary authorizations to modify classification data or the AUSP table.Data Inconsistency or Missing Entries:
The characteristic or characteristic values being updated do not exist or are inconsistent in the classification system (e.g., missing entries in tables AUSP, AUSP_VAL, or AUSP_VALS).Incorrect or Missing Object Key:
The generic article (material) key or classification object key is incorrect or missing, so the system cannot find the correct record to update.Transport or Customizing Issues:
Sometimes, after transports or system upgrades, inconsistencies in classification data or customizing can cause update failures.
Solution:
To resolve the WRF_CHAR_VAL115 error, follow these steps:
Check Locks:
- Use transaction SM12 to check for locks on the AUSP table or related objects.
- If locks exist and are stale, release them carefully.
Verify Authorizations:
- Ensure the user has the required authorizations for classification and material master data maintenance (e.g., authorization objects B_CLASS, M_MATE_WRK, etc.).
Validate Characteristic and Values:
- Check that the characteristic and characteristic values exist and are active in the classification system (transaction CL02 for characteristics, CL20N for classification).
- Verify that the characteristic is assigned correctly to the class used by the generic article.
Check Material and Classification Object Keys:
- Confirm that the material number and class assignment are correct and consistent.
- Use transaction MM03 to check material classification data.
Run Consistency Checks:
- Use report RCLSTCHK or similar to check classification data consistency.
Recreate or Repair Entries:
- If data inconsistencies are found, consider deleting and re-creating the classification assignment or characteristic values for the generic article.
Check for OSS Notes:
