• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_MDQLTYDIMENSIONCA013 - Critical threshold must be less than warning threshold. ?

  The SAP error message CM_MDQLTYDIMENSIONCA013 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the quality dimension thresholds in the system. Specifically, the error states that the critical threshold must be less than the warning threshold. This is a common issue when setting up quality management parameters in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the values for the critical and warning thresholds for a quality dimension are incorrectly configured. In quality management, thresholds are used to define acceptable limits for quality characteristics. The critical threshold is the point at which a quality characteristic is considered unacceptable, while the warning threshold indicates a level that should be monitored but is still acceptable. If the critical threshold is set to a value that is greater than or equal to the warning threshold, the system cannot process this configuration, leading to the error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the threshold values in the configuration settings. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Quality Management Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the Quality Management module.
  
  
  
  Locate the Quality Characteristic:
  
  Find the specific quality characteristic that is causing the error. This can usually be done through the configuration settings for quality management.
  
  
  
  Edit the Threshold Values:
  
  Open the settings for the quality characteristic.
  Check the values for the critical and warning thresholds.
  Ensure that the critical threshold is set to a value that is less than the warning threshold. For example, if the warning threshold is set to 10, the critical threshold should be set to a value less than 10 (e.g., 5).
  
  
  
  Save the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes to the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After saving, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer appears and that the quality management processes function as expected.
