  SAP Error Message:
  WSAM_SHMAE007 &1 can only be classified as a maximum of &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Classification or Material Master when you try to assign or classify an object (e.g., material, equipment) with a characteristic value that exceeds the allowed maximum number of classifications or characteristic assignments.
  
  &1: The object or entity you are trying to classify (e.g., material number).
  &2: The maximum number of classifications or characteristic assignments allowed for that object.
  
  In other words, the system restricts the number of classifications or characteristic values that can be assigned to an object, and you have reached or exceeded this limit.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  When classifying a material or equipment, the number of characteristic values assigned exceeds the maximum allowed.
  The classification system or class type has a predefined limit on the number of characteristics or characteristic values.
  Customizing or master data settings restrict the number of classifications.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Maximum Allowed Classifications:
  
  Review the class type and classification settings in transaction CL02 (Change Class) or CL03 (Display Class).
  Check if the class or class type has a limit on the number of characteristics or characteristic values.
  
  
  
  Reduce the Number of Characteristics:
  
  Remove unnecessary or redundant characteristic assignments from the object.
  Simplify the classification by reducing the number of characteristic values assigned.
  
  
  
  Adjust Customizing Settings (if applicable):
  
  In some cases, the maximum number of classifications or characteristic values can be adjusted in customizing.
  Check the configuration in SPRO under:
  
  Logistics ? General ? Classification System ? Classes ? Define Class Types
  Or related settings for classification limits.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check for User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  Sometimes, custom code or user exits enforce limits on classification.
  Review any custom developments that might restrict the number of classifications.
