prod_location

prod_name

prod_brand and 9amatnr keyfugures ..i given prod_brand 500 as a ref .value .

and i am not getting any error number , i am getting only the error message:The error message was " characterstic value 500 does not exist for characterstic 9AMANTNR"" .

Hi Sunitha ,

The Error message number is :SAP/APO/604.Can you help me ...

[former_member583013]

Hi,

The message shouldn't be SAP/APO/604...the correct message is /SAPAPO/MA 604.

Generally system throws this message when there is no CVC combination exists in POS for the

mentioned product 500.In your case you said the CVC is already exist.So here the only possible cause of the error is due to leading zeros.I think in PO for this combination the product values stored with leading zeros ,but while maintaining the product in life cycle planning you are not using the leading zeros.

If this the case please use the same format as in POS.

Hi sunitha ,

U mean i need to maintain 00500 ?

So,shall i Check our setting in Spro for: Specify Output Format of Product Number.

Spro>APO..>master data-> Product--> Specify Output Format of Product Number

Thanks!

I have a small doubt

yes ,you are right .In po for htis combination the product values stored wtih leading zeroes 500.but while maintaining the product in life cycle planning i am not using the leading zeros.

If this is the case .even i tried to entered product name :switches as a ref.value ...its showing the same error message:

characterstic value switches does not exist for characterstic 9AMANTNR"" .

I'd really appreciate to you sunitha ! taking out your time and helping .
