• Message text: No inspection characteristics have been maintained for operation

What causes this issue?

The <DS:GLOS.3526C507AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>process message</> has
been transferred to <DS:GLOS.3526C69BAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>quality
management</> (QM) because the following settings have been made:
The <DS:GLOS.3528EE4BEB4D21BCE10000009B38F984>routing</> is used for the
assignment of <DS:GLOS.BCD40122E063D511BCC10800060D9C68>partial lots</>
or <DS:GLOS.3526BFBFAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>batches</> in QM (see QM
data for planning header, field <LS>Partial Lot Assignment</>).
The routing is also used for the creation of
<DS:GLOS.352A691388E65CD5E10000009B38F974>inspection point quantities
</> in QM (see QM data for
<DS:GLOS.3526BF35AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>operation</>, field
<LS>inspection point completion</>).
However, no <DS:GLOS.3526C685AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>inspection
characteristics</> are assigned to the operation; that is, no check is
planned. The confirmed quantity can therefore not be assigned to an
inspection point.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Carry out the following steps if necessary:
If you want to transfer the quantity to QM and want to assign it to a
partial quantity or a batch, create an unplanned inspection
characteristic for the operation in the
<DS:GLOS.3526C388AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>production order
</>.
An inspection point can then be assigned to the quantity during the
results reporting for characteristic.
If you do not require the quantity in QM, post the
<DS:GLOS.3526C108AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>goods receipt</> manually in
inventory management.
<ZH>Note</>:
To ensure that the error does not occur again for other production
orders, you should correct the error in the routing.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COCI_PP_CB384 - No inspection characteristics have been maintained for operation ?

  The SAP error message COCI_PP_CB384 indicates that there are no inspection characteristics maintained for a specific operation in a production order or process order. This error typically arises in the context of quality management (QM) within the production planning (PP) module.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Inspection Characteristics: The most common cause of this error is that the operation in question does not have any inspection characteristics defined in the associated routing or task list.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for quality management may not be properly set up, leading to the absence of inspection characteristics.
  Routing/Task List Issues: The routing or task list used for the production order may not have been updated to include the necessary inspection characteristics.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Routing/Task List:
  
  Go to the routing or task list associated with the production order.
  Ensure that the relevant inspection characteristics are defined for the operation in question.
  If they are missing, you can add them using transaction codes like CA01 (Create Routing) or CA02 (Change Routing).
  
  
  
  Maintain Inspection Characteristics:
  
  Use transaction code QCC1 (Create Inspection Characteristics) to create new inspection characteristics if needed.
  Ensure that the characteristics are linked to the correct operation in the routing.
  
  
  
  Review Quality Management Settings:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the Quality Management module to ensure that they are set up correctly.
  You can use transaction code SPRO to access the configuration settings and navigate to the relevant sections for quality management.
  
  
  
  Check Production Order:
  
  Review the production order to ensure that it is correctly referencing the routing that contains the inspection characteristics.
  If necessary, reassign the correct routing to the production order.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on maintaining inspection characteristics and routing.

  Quality Management Integration: Understanding how QM integrates with PP is crucial. Inspection characteristics are often defined in the context of quality inspections that need to be performed during production.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide updates related to this error message.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the COCI_PP_CB384 error and ensure that the necessary inspection characteristics are maintained for the operation in question.
