• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXPB126 - Characteristic value &1 is not permitted according to classification ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WXPB126 Characteristic value &1 is not permitted according to classification
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a characteristic value assigned to a material, document, or object does not conform to the allowed values defined in the classification system. In other words, the value you are trying to enter or use for a characteristic is not valid or not permitted according to the classification data maintained in the system.
  Typical scenarios include:  
  
  The characteristic value is not assigned to the characteristic in the classification system.  
  The characteristic is restricted to certain values, and the entered value is outside this set.  
  The classification data is inconsistent or incomplete.  
  The characteristic or value is not active or has been deleted/blocked.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Characteristic and Value in Classification:
  
  Go to transaction CL02 (Change Characteristic) or CL03 (Display Characteristic).
  Verify that the characteristic value you are trying to use is assigned to the characteristic.
  If the value is missing, add it if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Check the Class and Characteristic Assignment:
  
  Use transaction CL24N or CL20N to check the class and characteristic assignments.
  Ensure the characteristic is correctly assigned to the class used for classification.
  
  
  
  Verify Allowed Values:
  
  In the characteristic maintenance, check the value range or fixed values.
  If the characteristic is set to allow only fixed values, ensure the value you want to use is among them.
  
  
  
  Update or Correct the Classification Data:
  
  If the characteristic value is missing or incorrect, update the classification master data accordingly.
  If the characteristic or value is obsolete or blocked, consider activating or replacing it.
  
  
  
  Check the Object Being Classified:
  
  Ensure that the object (material, document, etc.) is assigned to the correct class.
  Sometimes, the wrong class or characteristic is assigned, causing value mismatches.
  
  
  
  Reclassify the Object:
  
  After corrections, reclassify the object with the correct characteristic values.

  Always ensure that classification master data is consistent and up-to-date.
  If you are using external interfaces or batch inputs, validate that the characteristic values conform to the classification data.
