  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP058 - Characteristic value &1 is not supported for characteristic &2 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WXP058 Characteristic value &1 is not supported for characteristic &2


    Meaning / Cause:

    This warning message occurs in SAP when a characteristic value assigned to a characteristic is not valid or supported in the current context. Specifically:

    • Characteristic (&2): The characteristic in question.
    • Characteristic value (&1): The value assigned to the characteristic that is not recognized or allowed.

    This typically happens in classification, variant configuration, or when working with characteristics in master data or configuration profiles.

    Common causes include:

    • The characteristic value does not exist in the characteristic's value range.
    • The characteristic value is not maintained or activated in the system.
    • The characteristic is configured with a restricted set of values, and the given value is outside this set.
    • Data inconsistency or missing customization in classification or variant configuration.
    • The characteristic value might be valid in another context but not in the current one (e.g., different class or configuration profile).

    Where it occurs:

    • During classification of objects (e.g., materials, equipment).
    • In variant configuration when assigning characteristic values.
    • When maintaining master data or configuration profiles.
    • During sales order or production order processing if variant configuration is involved.

    Solution / How to fix:

    1. Check Characteristic and Values:

      • Go to transaction CT04 (Change Characteristic).
      • Verify that the characteristic (&2) exists.
      • Check the list of allowed values for this characteristic.
      • Confirm that the characteristic value (&1) is maintained and active.
    2. Maintain Characteristic Values:

      • If the value (&1) is missing, add it to the characteristic's value list.
      • Ensure the value is active and valid.
    3. Check Classification:

      • If the characteristic is assigned to a class, verify the class and characteristic assignment in CL02.
      • Make sure the characteristic value is valid for the class.
    4. Variant Configuration:

      • If this occurs in variant configuration, check the configuration profile and dependencies.
      • Use transaction CU50 or CU51 to check characteristic values and their validity.
      • Ensure that the value is allowed in the current configuration context.
    5. Data Consistency:

      • Run consistency checks for classification data.
      • Reclassify the object if necessary.
    6. Transport and Customizing:

      • If this issue appeared after a transport, verify that all relevant customizing and master data were transported correctly.

    Additional Information:

    • Message Class: WXP
    • Message Number: 058
    • This is a warning message, so processing may continue, but the data might not be processed as expected.
    • It is important to resolve this to avoid incorrect or incomplete classification/configuration.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Cause Characteristic value not valid for characteristic (missing or inactive value)
    Solution Maintain characteristic values in CT04; verify class and characteristic assignments; check variant configuration profiles
    Transactions CT04, CL02, CU50, CU51
    Message Type Warning (WXP058)
