• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_DISPRO033 - Indicator &1 does not contain a permitted value ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_DISPRO033 Indicator &1 does not contain a permitted value
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a configuration indicator (often a characteristic or a field in a configuration profile) contains a value that is not allowed or not defined in the system. The placeholder &1 in the message is replaced by the actual indicator name or value that caused the issue.
  In the context of SAP Variant Configuration (LO-VC) or Discrete Manufacturing (PP-PI), this typically means:
  
  The indicator or characteristic value entered is not part of the allowed set of values.
  The value might be missing in the allowed values table or not maintained in the customizing.
  There could be a mismatch between the configuration profile and the master data or customizing settings.
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  During configuration profile processing, a characteristic value is checked against allowed values.
  When creating or changing a production order or sales order with variant configuration.
  When running configuration or planning transactions that validate indicator values.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Indicator Value:
  
  Identify the indicator or characteristic mentioned in the error.
  Verify the value entered or processed is correct and intended.
  
  
  
  Verify Allowed Values:
  
  Go to the customizing transaction for the relevant indicator or characteristic.
  For characteristics, use transaction CT04 to check allowed values.
  For configuration profiles, check the allowed values in the configuration profile or class.
  
  
  
  Maintain Missing Values:
  
  If the value is missing, add it to the allowed values list.
  For characteristics, maintain the characteristic values in CT04.
  For configuration profiles, adjust the allowed values or dependencies accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies and Constraints:
  
  Sometimes dependencies restrict allowed values.
  Review any dependencies or constraints that might exclude the value.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Transaction:
  
  After corrections, retry the transaction or process that caused the error.

  Summary:
  The error WRF_DISPRO033 indicates that a configuration indicator contains a value not permitted by the system's configuration or master data. The solution involves verifying and maintaining the allowed values for the indicator or characteristic in the customizing or master data, ensuring consistency between configuration profiles and the values used in transactions.
