How To Fix O3231 - QCI: Base temperature and base 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: 231

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

What causes this issue?

In the conversion group, an indicator is set to activate additional
conversion routines. The routines convert the base density or the base
heating value that was calculated by the system to create a new base
density or heating value.
The new base density and the new base heating value are converted to a
set of new base conditions. The new base conditions are determined by
the temperature and pressure values defined in the base heating value
and base density unit of measure. Those units of measure are defined in
the conversion group.

System Response

The additional conversion will only be carried out if the unit of
measure maintained in the conversion group for the base density or base
heating value is itself maintained in customizing with additional
parameters (Maintain units of measure ). This indicator can be set in
order to separate the base conditions at which external conversion
routines operate from the base conditions at which the calculated
parameters are stored in the system. The system will then produce a
warning message to inform you that the base density or base heating
value is being converted. For densities, a test density unit has to be
entered for this function in order to carry out the additional
conversion.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O3231 - QCI: Base temperature and base pressure values and units are replaced ?

  The SAP error message O3231, which states "QCI: Base temperature and base pressure values and units are replaced," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) or Quality Control Inspection (QCI) processes within SAP. This error indicates that there is an issue with the base temperature and base pressure values or their units in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The base temperature and pressure values may not be correctly configured in the system, leading to discrepancies.
  Unit Mismatch: There may be a mismatch in the units used for temperature and pressure, which can cause the system to replace the values automatically.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors during the creation or modification of inspection plans or results can lead to this error.
  Master Data Issues: Problems with the master data related to materials or inspection characteristics can also trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for base temperature and pressure in the relevant SAP modules. Ensure that they are set correctly according to your organization's standards.
  Verify Units: Ensure that the units for temperature (e.g., Celsius, Fahrenheit) and pressure (e.g., Pascal, Bar) are consistent and correctly defined in the system.
  Review Inspection Plans: Check the inspection plans and results for any incorrect entries. Make sure that the values entered for base temperature and pressure are valid and within expected ranges.
  Correct Master Data: If the issue is related to master data, update the relevant records to ensure that they are accurate and complete.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling this error in your version of SAP.
