How To Fix O3229 - QCI: test temperature and test pressure values and units are replaced

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: O3 - IS-Oil: HPM messages (goods movements, QCI, deliveries)

• Message number: 229

• Message text: QCI: test temperature and test pressure values and units are replaced

What causes this issue?

The system will neglect the parameters entered as test conditions for
the test density and test heating value, and use the parameters
maintained with the unit of measure for the test density or test
heating value instead. This replacement of test conditions will only be
carried out if the unit of measure entered as a test density or test
heating value unit is itself maintained in customizing ( Maintain units
of measure ) with additional descriptive parameters. This replacement
is controlled by the settings of the conversion group.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O3229 - QCI: test temperature and test pressure values and units are replaced ?

  The SAP error message O3229, which indicates "QCI: test temperature and test pressure values and units are replaced," typically arises in the context of Quality Management (QM) within SAP. This error is related to the Quality Inspection (QI) process, particularly when dealing with inspection characteristics that involve temperature and pressure measurements.
  Cause:
  
  
  Unit of Measure Mismatch: The error often occurs when the units of measure for temperature and pressure in the inspection lot do not match the expected units defined in the inspection characteristics. For example, if the system expects temperature in Celsius but receives it in Fahrenheit, or if pressure is expected in bar but is provided in psi.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the inspection characteristics or the material master data, where the expected units are not properly set up.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry during the inspection process can lead to this error, especially if the values entered do not conform to the expected formats or units.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Inspection Characteristics: Review the inspection characteristics defined for the material in the Quality Management module. Ensure that the units of measure for temperature and pressure are correctly configured.
  
  
  Verify Material Master Data: Check the material master data to ensure that the correct units of measure are assigned for the relevant characteristics. This can be done in the material master under the Quality Management view.
  
  
  Correct Data Entry: If the error is due to incorrect data entry, ensure that the values entered during the inspection process are in the correct format and units. Train users on the correct data entry procedures if necessary.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If the issue is related to configuration, you may need to adjust the settings in the Quality Management module. This may involve working with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the settings align with your business processes.
  
  
  Testing and Validation: After making changes, conduct tests to validate that the error no longer occurs and that the inspection process functions as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message. SAP frequently releases updates that may address known issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to Quality Management and inspection characteristics for best practices and configuration guidelines.
  User Training: Ensure that users involved in the inspection process are adequately trained on the importance of correct unit entry and the implications of mismatches.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with SAP support or a qualified SAP consultant for further assistance.
