• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_QUEST019 - Point proposal &1 for valuation is outside the point scale &2-&3 ?

  The SAP error message PLM_QUEST019 indicates that a point proposal for valuation is outside the defined point scale. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) when dealing with point-based evaluations or scoring systems, such as in the context of product evaluations, supplier assessments, or similar scenarios.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the value being proposed for a point evaluation (denoted as &1 in the error message) falls outside the acceptable range defined by the point scale (denoted as &2 for the lower limit and &3 for the upper limit). This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Data Entry: The user may have entered a value that is not within the defined limits.
  Configuration Issues: The point scale may not be properly configured in the system, leading to discrepancies between expected and actual values.
  Changes in Point Scale: If the point scale was modified after the proposal was created, the existing proposals may no longer comply with the new scale.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check the Point Proposal: Review the value you are trying to enter (the point proposal) and ensure it is within the defined limits of the point scale.
  Verify Point Scale Configuration: 
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for the point scale in SAP.
  Ensure that the lower and upper limits of the point scale are correctly defined and match the intended evaluation criteria.
  
  
  Adjust the Proposal: If the point proposal is indeed outside the limits, adjust it to fall within the acceptable range.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct limits or configurations, refer to the relevant SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant.
  Test Changes: After making adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on your SAP version and configuration, you may need to use specific transaction codes to access the point scale settings or the evaluation proposals.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on point scale configurations.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to point scales or proposals, as restrictions may prevent you from making the required adjustments.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal IT team for further assistance.
