How To Fix O3316 - Test or material temperature and unit for test density are not specified

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 316

• Message text: Test or material temperature and unit for test density are not specified

What causes this issue?

The test or material temperature and unit of measure are both not
specified. The Quantity Conversion Interface (QCI) will pass a
temperature value of 0 to the external functions (API c-code, customer
function). Without a unit of measure, this may lead to an incorrect
result.

System Response

This message can be customized to appear as an error, warning or
information message (Transaction O591). SAP recommends that this message
is set as an error message, but you might want to pass an unspecified

  The SAP error message O3316 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a test or material in the system, specifically related to the temperature and unit for test density not being specified. This error typically arises in the context of quality management (QM) within SAP, where specific parameters must be defined for materials and their associated tests.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The test or material does not have the required temperature and unit for test density specified in the system.
  Incomplete Master Data: The material master or the quality inspection characteristics may not be fully configured.
  Incorrect Settings: The settings in the quality management module may not align with the requirements for the specific material or test.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the O3316 error, follow these steps:
