  Check Task Configuration: Review the configuration of the standard task in the SAP system. Ensure that the task is set up to handle the specific inspection characteristics you are trying to process.
  Review Inspection Plan: Verify that the inspection plan associated with the task includes the necessary inspection characteristics. If not, you may need to modify the inspection plan to include them.
  Use Appropriate Task Type: If the standard task cannot be modified to accommodate the inspection characteristics, consider using a different task type that supports the required characteristics.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring inspection characteristics and tasks in the QM module.
  SAP Notes and Support: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance. If necessary, contact SAP support for assistance.
