• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PQ115 - Create a scale first ?

  The SAP error message PQ115 ("Create a scale first") typically occurs in the context of SAP Quality Management (QM) when you are trying to create a quality inspection plan or a related document that requires a scale to be defined, but no scale has been created in the system.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered because the system expects a scale to be defined for the inspection characteristics you are trying to use. A scale in SAP QM is a set of values that can be used to evaluate inspection results, such as pass/fail criteria, measurement ranges, or grading scales.
  Solution:
  To resolve the PQ115 error, you need to create a scale in the system. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Access the Scale Maintenance:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the following path: Logistics -> Quality Management -> Quality Planning -> Inspection Characteristics -> Define Scales.
  
  
  
  Create a New Scale:
  
  In the scale maintenance screen, you can create a new scale by clicking on the "New Entries" button.
  Enter the required details for the scale, such as the scale type, description, and the values that will be part of the scale.
  
  
  
  Save the Scale:
  
  After entering the necessary information, save the new scale.
  
  
  
  Assign the Scale:
  
  Once the scale is created, you can assign it to the relevant inspection characteristics or inspection plans that require it.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Action:
  
  After creating and assigning the scale, try to perform the action that previously resulted in the PQ115 error again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Scale Types: There are different types of scales you can create, such as numeric scales, qualitative scales, or custom scales depending on your inspection requirements.
  Inspection Characteristics: Ensure that the inspection characteristics you are using are correctly configured to reference the newly created scale.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed instructions on creating scales and managing inspection characteristics.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, it may be helpful to consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant who specializes in SAP QM for further assistance.
