How To Fix O3232 - QCI: Base density and base heating value have inconsistent parameters

O3232 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 232

• Message text: QCI: Base density and base heating value have inconsistent parameters

What causes this issue?

You have maintained a unit of measure for the base density of a natural
gas in the conversion group that is maintained in the unit of measure
customizing table ( T006) with additional parameters ( temperature and
pressure values and units ). The base heating value that is maintained
in the conversion group is also maintained in that way. The values for
temperature and pressure have to be identical for both the base density
unit and the base heating value unit. Otherwise, the system issues this
error message and the calculation is halted, since inconsistent results
would be obtained.

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?

Change the settings in the conversion group. Enter a base density unit
and a base heating value unit that have identical parameters for
metering. Alternatively, you may remove the units of measure if no
conversion is required to the parameters attached to the units, or you
remove the flag in the conversion group that activates the additional
conversion: <DS:TRAN.O580>Change conversion group settings</>

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O3232 - QCI: Base density and base heating value have inconsistent parameters ?

  The SAP error message O3232, which states "QCI: Base density and base heating value have inconsistent parameters," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) or Material Management (MM) modules when dealing with the characteristics of materials, particularly in relation to the Quality Control Inspection (QCI) process.
  
  Cause:
  This error arises when there is a mismatch between the base density and the base heating value of a material. The parameters are expected to be consistent with each other, and if they are not, the system cannot process the data correctly. This inconsistency can occur due to:
  
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master may have been incorrectly set up, leading to discrepancies in the density and heating value.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the creation or modification of material data can lead to inconsistent values.
  
  Configuration Issues: The settings in the SAP system regarding how these parameters are defined or calculated may
