• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QD259 - Only sampling type with sampling scheme allowed ?

  The SAP error message QD259 ("Only sampling type with sampling scheme allowed") typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) when you are trying to create or process a quality inspection lot, and the system is expecting a specific sampling type that is associated with a sampling scheme.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Incorrect Sampling Type: The sampling type you are trying to use does not have an associated sampling scheme defined in the system. In SAP QM, sampling types are linked to specific sampling schemes that dictate how samples are taken from inspection lots.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the quality management settings where the sampling type is not properly set up or linked to a sampling scheme.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: The material master or inspection plan may not have the correct sampling type defined, or it may not be compatible with the inspection lot being processed.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the QD259 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Sampling Type:
  
  Go to the transaction code QDV1 (Define Sampling Types) and verify that the sampling type you are using is correctly defined and has an associated sampling scheme.
  
  
  
  Review Inspection Plan:
  
  Check the inspection plan associated with the material. Ensure that the sampling type defined in the inspection plan is valid and corresponds to a sampling scheme.
  
  
  
  Material Master Data:
  
  Review the material master data for the relevant material. Ensure that the quality management view is correctly set up and that the sampling type is appropriate.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings:
  
  If you have access to configuration settings, navigate to the Quality Management configuration and ensure that the sampling types and schemes are correctly configured. This can be done through the following path:
  
  SPRO ? Quality Management ? Quality Planning ? Inspection Planning ? Define Sampling Procedures.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct sampling type or scheme, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP QM consultant for guidance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to create or process the inspection lot again to see if the error persists.
