• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PQ207 - Unevaluated is not allowed for the scale "&" ?

  The SAP error message PQ207, which states "Unevaluated is not allowed for the scale '&'", typically occurs in the context of SAP Quality Management (QM) when dealing with inspection plans or characteristics that are not properly defined or evaluated.
  Cause:
  The error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Characteristic Definition: The characteristic in question may be defined with a scale that does not allow for unevaluated values. This can happen if the characteristic is set up to require a specific evaluation type (e.g., "Qualitative" or "Quantitative") but is being used in a context where it is not being evaluated.
  
  
  Inspection Plan Configuration: The inspection plan may have been configured incorrectly, leading to a mismatch between the expected evaluation type and the actual data being processed.
  
  
  Data Entry Issues: If the data being entered into the system does not conform to the expected format or scale, it can trigger this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the PQ207 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Settings:
  
  Go to the characteristic definition in the inspection plan and verify that the scale is correctly defined.
  Ensure that the characteristic is set to allow for the type of evaluation you are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Review Inspection Plan:
  
  Open the inspection plan associated with the error and check for any inconsistencies in the configuration.
  Make sure that all characteristics are properly defined and that their evaluation types match the expected input.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Ensure that the data being entered for the inspection characteristic is valid and conforms to the defined scale.
  If you are using a custom program or interface to enter data, check for any issues in the data mapping or transformation logic.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to Quality Management and inspection characteristics for additional guidance on proper configuration.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the inspection plan with sample data to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
