The SAP error message
/EACA/PMRT119 Characteristic &1 is not ready for input
typically occurs in the context of SAP's Variant Configuration (VC) or Product Configuration scenarios. This error indicates that a specific characteristic (denoted by&1
) is not available for input in the current context, which can be due to several reasons.Causes:
- Characteristic Status: The characteristic may be set to a status that does not allow input. For example, it might be marked as "not relevant" or "not allowed" for the current configuration.
- Dependencies: There may be dependencies (such as constraints or rules) that prevent the characteristic from being available for input based on the current selections made in the configuration.
- Configuration Profile: The configuration profile might not include the characteristic, or it may be incorrectly set up.
- User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to input values for that characteristic.
- Incomplete Data: The characteristic may depend on other characteristics that have not been filled in yet, making it unavailable for input.
Solutions:
- Check Characteristic Settings: Review the settings of the characteristic in the configuration profile to ensure it is set to allow input.
- Review Dependencies: Analyze the dependencies associated with the characteristic to see if any conditions are preventing it from being available. You may need to adjust the dependencies or the order of input.
- Configuration Profile: Ensure that the configuration profile includes the characteristic and is set up correctly.
- User Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to input values for the characteristic. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
- Complete Previous Inputs: Make sure that all required preceding characteristics are filled in correctly, as some characteristics may only become available after certain conditions are met.

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.
