• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QD251 - Insp. points require a valuation mode with valuation parameters ?

  The SAP error message QD251, which states "Insp. points require a valuation mode with valuation parameters," typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) when dealing with inspection points in a quality inspection process. This error indicates that the system is expecting a valuation mode to be defined for the inspection points, but it is either missing or incorrectly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Valuation Mode: The inspection points in the quality inspection lot do not have an associated valuation mode defined.
  Incorrect Configuration: The valuation mode may not be properly set up in the system, or the parameters required for the valuation mode are not defined.
  Inspection Plan Issues: The inspection plan associated with the inspection lot may not have the necessary settings for valuation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the QD251 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Inspection Plan:
  
  Go to the inspection plan associated with the inspection lot.
  Ensure that the inspection characteristics have a valuation mode assigned. You can do this by navigating to the inspection characteristics in the inspection plan and checking the valuation mode settings.
  
  
  
  Define Valuation Mode:
  
  If the valuation mode is missing, you need to define it. This can be done in the configuration settings for quality management.
  Use transaction code SPRO to access the configuration menu, and navigate to:
  Quality Management -> Quality Planning -> Inspection Plan -> Define Valuation Modes
  
  Here, you can create or modify valuation modes and ensure that they have the necessary parameters set.
  
  
  
  Assign Valuation Parameters:
  
  Ensure that the valuation parameters for the valuation mode are correctly defined. This includes specifying how the results will be evaluated (e.g., pass/fail criteria).
  
  
  
  Recreate Inspection Lot:
  
  If changes were made to the inspection plan or valuation mode, you may need to recreate the inspection lot to apply the new settings.
