• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message Q5009 - No single results can be recorded for characteristic &1 ?

  The SAP error message Q5009, which states "No single results can be recorded for characteristic &1," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when you are trying to record inspection results for a characteristic that is not set up to allow single results recording. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Characteristic Configuration: The characteristic in question (denoted by &1) is configured in such a way that it does not allow for single results to be recorded. This could be due to the characteristic being set as a "group characteristic" or having specific settings that restrict single result entries.
  
  
  Inspection Plan Settings: The inspection plan associated with the inspection lot may have settings that do not permit single results for certain characteristics.
  
  
  Usage of Characteristic: The characteristic might be defined in a way that it is intended for batch or group results rather than individual measurements.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Configuration:
  
  Go to the characteristic definition in the SAP system (transaction code CT04).
  Verify the settings for the characteristic. Ensure that it is configured to allow single results if that is the intended use.
  
  
  
  Review Inspection Plan:
  
  Use transaction code QP02 to review the inspection plan associated with the inspection lot.
  Check the settings for the characteristics in the inspection plan. Ensure that they are set to allow single results recording.
  
  
  
  Adjust Inspection Lot Settings:
  
  If the inspection lot is already created, you may need to adjust the settings or create a new inspection lot with the correct configuration.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to Quality Management and characteristics to understand the implications of the settings.
