• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_FMEA_APPL218 - A valuation has not yet been created for effect &1 ?

  The SAP error message PLM_FMEA_APPL218, which states "A valuation has not yet been created for effect &1," typically occurs in the context of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) within the SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) module. This error indicates that there is a missing valuation for a specific effect in the FMEA process.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of a defined valuation for the effect specified in the message. In FMEA, each potential failure effect should have a corresponding valuation that quantifies its severity, occurrence, and detection. If these valuations are not set up, the system cannot proceed with the analysis.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the FMEA Document: Open the FMEA document where the error occurred and identify the specific effect (denoted by &1 in the error message).
  
  
  Create Valuation:
  
  Navigate to the section of the FMEA where you can define or edit the valuations for effects.
  Ensure that you have defined the necessary severity, occurrence, and detection ratings for the effect in question.
  If you are using a predefined rating scale, make sure that the ratings are correctly assigned.
  
  
  
  Validate Data: After entering the required valuations, validate the data to ensure that all necessary fields are filled out correctly.
  
  
  Save Changes: Once the valuations are created and validated, save the changes to the FMEA document.
  
  
  Re-run the Process: After saving, try to re-run the process that triggered the error to see if it has been resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  FMEA Process: Familiarize yourself with the FMEA process in SAP, including how to create and manage failure modes, effects, and their associated valuations.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to create or modify valuations in the FMEA module.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation or guides specific to FMEA for detailed instructions on managing valuations and handling errors.
  Consult with Colleagues: If you are unsure about the correct valuations to assign, consult with team members or stakeholders involved in the FMEA process.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who specializes in SAP PLM.
