• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QD221 - For a 100% insp., you cannot have an attributive insp. by no.of defects ?

  The SAP error message QD221 indicates that there is a conflict in the inspection setup for a quality inspection lot. Specifically, it arises when you are trying to perform a 100% inspection (where every item is inspected) while also attempting to use an attributive inspection method based on the number of defects. This is not allowed because a 100% inspection typically requires a quantitative assessment rather than an attributive one.
  Cause:
  
  Inspection Type Conflict: The system is set up to perform a 100% inspection, which means every item must be inspected. However, the inspection method you are trying to use is attributive (based on the number of defects), which is not compatible with a 100% inspection.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the quality management module may not be aligned correctly for the type of inspection you are trying to perform.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change Inspection Type: If you need to perform an attributive inspection, consider changing the inspection type from 100% to a sampling inspection type that allows for attributive methods.
  Adjust Inspection Plan: Review and adjust the inspection plan to ensure that it is set up correctly for the type of inspection you want to perform. Make sure that the inspection characteristics are compatible with the inspection type.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on setting up inspection types and characteristics correctly.
  Check Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, check the settings in the Quality Management module to ensure that they are set up correctly for the type of inspection you are conducting.
