• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COCI_PP_CB002 - QM messages are possible for standard sequences only ?

  The SAP error message COCI_PP_CB002, which states "QM messages are possible for standard sequences only," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) within the Production Planning (PP) module. This error indicates that the system is trying to process a quality message for a non-standard sequence, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Standard Sequence: The error is triggered when the system encounters a production order or process that is not defined as a standard sequence in the system. Standard sequences are predefined and recognized by the system for quality management processes.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Quality Management or Production Planning modules that are not set up correctly, leading to the system not recognizing the sequence as standard.
  Missing Master Data: The relevant master data (like routing, BOM, or inspection plans) may not be properly defined or linked to the production order.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Sequence: Verify that the sequence you are trying to use is indeed a standard sequence. You can do this by checking the routing or production order details in the system.
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the configuration for Quality Management and Production Planning is set up correctly. This includes checking the settings for inspection types, quality notifications, and the integration between QM and PP.
  Update Master Data: If the master data is missing or incorrect, update it accordingly. Ensure that the routing and BOM are correctly defined and that they include the necessary quality management steps.
  Use Standard Sequences: If you are working with a custom or non-standard sequence, consider converting it to a standard sequence or creating a new standard sequence that meets your requirements.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring QM messages and standard sequences.
