• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_FMEA_APPL306 - You cannot select FMEA type without FMEA object ?

  The SAP error message PLM_FMEA_APPL306 indicates that you are trying to select an FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) type without having a corresponding FMEA object defined. This error typically occurs in the context of the SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) module, specifically when working with FMEA-related functionalities.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following reasons:
  
  Missing FMEA Object: You have not created or selected an FMEA object (such as a process, product, or system) before attempting to select an FMEA type.
  Incorrect Sequence of Actions: The workflow or sequence of actions you are following does not align with the required steps to create or manage an FMEA.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the proper linking of FMEA types to FMEA objects.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
