Solution:
- Check Characteristic Definitions: Review the definitions of the characteristics in the relevant configuration settings. Ensure that each characteristic has a unique basis and that there are no duplicates.
- Data Cleanup: If duplicates are found, clean up the data by removing or consolidating the duplicate entries. This may involve adjusting the master data or characteristic settings.
- Review Planning Books: If the error occurs in a planning book, check the configuration of the planning book to ensure that it is set up correctly and that there are no conflicting settings.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
