• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QAM001 - No mapping found for category &1 ?

  The SAP error message QAM001: No mapping found for category &1 typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) within SAP. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a mapping for a specific category that is being referenced in a Quality Management process, such as inspection lots, quality notifications, or other QM-related transactions.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Configuration: The most common cause is that the necessary configuration for the specified category has not been set up in the system. This could involve missing entries in customizing tables or settings related to quality management.
  
  
  Incorrect Category Reference: The category being referenced may not exist or may have been incorrectly specified in the transaction or process being executed.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was recently transported from another system (e.g., from a development to a production environment), there may have been issues during the transport that resulted in missing mappings.
  
  
  User Authorization: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the mapping for the specified category.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  Go to the SAP customizing transaction (SPRO) and navigate to the relevant QM settings. Ensure that the category in question is properly configured.
  Check the relevant customizing tables (e.g., TQ80 for inspection types, TQ81 for inspection lot categories) to ensure that the mapping exists.
  
  
  
  Verify Category: 
  
  Double-check the category being referenced in the error message. Ensure that it is correctly specified and exists in the system.
  
  
  
  Transport Validation: 
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, verify that all necessary objects were included in the transport request and that they were successfully imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  User Authorization: 
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the QM functionalities and mappings. This can be checked with the help of a security administrator.
