• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_FMEA_APPL126 - Confirmation of action only possible via QM_FMEA ?

  The SAP error message PLM_FMEA_APPL126 indicates that a confirmation of an action in the FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) process can only be performed through the Quality Management (QM) module in SAP. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to confirm an action in the FMEA without the necessary QM integration or settings.
  Cause:
  
  Missing QM Integration: The FMEA process is designed to work in conjunction with the QM module. If the QM module is not properly configured or integrated with the FMEA process, you may encounter this error.
  Incorrect Action Confirmation Process: The action confirmation might be attempted in a way that is not supported by the system, such as trying to confirm actions directly in the FMEA without going through the QM processes.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action confirmation in the QM module.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check QM Configuration: Ensure that the QM module is properly configured and integrated with the FMEA process. This may involve checking the settings in the SAP system related to FMEA and QM.
  Use QM Transaction Codes: Confirm actions through the appropriate QM transaction codes or processes. This typically involves using transaction codes related to QM for action confirmation.
  Review User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform actions in both the FMEA and QM modules. This may require coordination with your SAP security team.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on how to perform action confirmations in the context of FMEA and QM.
  
  Related Information:
  
  FMEA Process: Understand the role of FMEA in risk management and how it integrates with other SAP modules, particularly QM.
  QM Module: Familiarize yourself with the Quality Management module in SAP, including its functionalities and how it relates to FMEA.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this error or provide additional guidance on configuration and troubleshooting.
