  The SAP error message CM_MDQLTYRULEMINING018 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a quality rule in the context of quality management or data quality management. Specifically, the error states that a certain field (denoted as &1) must either be defined as a condition of the rule or must be checked by the rule.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises in the following scenarios:
  
  Field Configuration: The field in question has not been properly configured as part of the quality rule. It may be included in the rule but not set as a condition or check.
  Rule Definition: The quality rule may be incomplete or incorrectly defined, leading to inconsistencies in how the fields are being utilized.
  Data Quality Management: If you are working with data quality rules, the field may not be appropriately linked to the rule's logic.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Rule Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction or area where the quality rule is defined (e.g., transaction code CQE1 for quality rules).
  Locate the specific rule that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the field indicated by &1 is either:

  Checked by the rule (i.e., it should be included in the checks that the rule performs).
  
  
  
  
  
  Modify the Rule:
  
  If the field is not included, add it as a condition or check as appropriate.
  If the field is already included but not functioning as expected, review the logic to ensure it aligns with the intended use of the rule.
  
  
  
  Validate Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and validate the rule to ensure that it no longer triggers the error.
  Test the rule with sample data to confirm that it behaves as expected.
