• Message number: 217

• Message text: Batch classification for this char. is not possible in standard process

What causes this issue?

You have changed the control indicator of a master inspection
characteristic that is linked to a class characteristic. This class
characteristic contains a reference to a selected set. This has an
effect on results recording.
Note the following: In the standard process, batch classification
usually takes place for the characteristic, if you have set the control
indicator "Summarized recording".
With the current settings, batch classification can only take place for
the characteristic if you are using SAP enhancement QMSP0002.

How can this happen?

You have set the "Single result" indicator and want the system to carry
out a batch classification.
If you use SAP enhancement QMSP0002, you must enter the single
classification codes that are confirmed at results recording in this
enhancement. Otherwise, the system cannot carry out batch
classification for this characteristic.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

You can either continue processing or set the "Summarized recording"
indicator.
