• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message Q0118 - Only field names of type "VMENGE.." are allowed ?

  The SAP error message Q0118, which states "Only field names of type 'VMENGE..' are allowed," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when there is an issue with the configuration or data entry related to inspection characteristics.
  
  Cause:
  The error is generally caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Incorrect Field Type: The system expects a field of a specific type (in this case, a quantity field, denoted by "VMENGE.."), but the field being referenced does not match this type. This can happen if the characteristic is incorrectly defined or if the data being entered does not conform to the expected format.
