  Cause:
  This warning message occurs in SAP when there is an inconsistency or invalid assignment between the classification system character and the planning character during the configuration or use of the classification system in planning processes (such as in Variant Configuration or Classification-based planning).
  
  The system expects a valid combination of classification system character and planning character.
  The character &3 (classification system character) assigned for the planning character &2 is not recognized or is invalid according to the system's configuration.
  This can happen if the classification system or planning character is not properly maintained or if there is a mismatch in the customizing settings.
  
  
  Explanation of Terms:
  
  Classification system character: A character or code representing a classification system in SAP (e.g., a specific class type or category).

  The message indicates that the classification system character assigned for a particular planning character is invalid or not allowed.
  
  
  Common Scenarios:

  Verify Class and Characteristic Assignments:
  
  Use transaction CL02 (Change Class) or CL03 (Display Class) to check the class and its characteristics.
  Confirm that the characteristics used for planning are correctly assigned and consistent with the classification system.
  
  
  
  Check Integration Settings:
  
  If using Variant Configuration or integration with planning, verify that the integration points are correctly configured.
  Check if any recent changes in classification or planning characters have caused inconsistencies.
