  Check if the qualification type requires a specific scale and ensure that it is linked correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to confer qualifications and to access the scales. Sometimes, authorization issues can prevent the proper execution of actions.
