What causes this issue?

In the configuration model, a reference characteristic exists with
reference to a field which is not supported in any integration scenario.
In particular: In structure SDCOM, only field VKOND and the fields of
the substructures SDCOM_USR and SDCOM_IS are supported. In structure
MMCOM, only field VKOND is supported.


System Response

In the integration scenario (for example, in a sales order), values of
this reference characteristic are not processed.
Exceptions, where such reference characteristic can be useful, are: a)
user-defined scenarios; b) reference characteristics which are defined
only to use the format and the input help from the data dictionary.


How to fix this error?

Check the configuration model.
