Message type: E = Error
Message class: MR - Stock overview for generic materials
Message number: 014
Message text: Select characteristics for a single generic material only
You wanted to restrict the characteristics of a number of materials.
This is possible only for a single generic material.
Alternatively, you can enter a material group for which, if necessary,
you can restrict the characteristics so that the restriction of
characteristics is effective for several materials. This ensures that
all of the materials selected have the same characteristic assignment
to allow global restriction.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
Enter a single generic material or a material group for which
characteristics assignments exist.

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.
