• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QE034 - Only & more samples can be created for this characteristic ?

  The SAP error message QE034 ("Only & more samples can be created for this characteristic") typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when you are trying to create more samples for a characteristic than the system allows. This is often related to the sampling procedure defined for the inspection lot or characteristic.
  Cause:
  
  Sampling Procedure Limitations: The sampling procedure associated with the inspection characteristic may have a predefined limit on the number of samples that can be taken. This limit is set in the sampling procedure configuration.
  Characteristic Settings: The characteristic itself may have restrictions that limit the number of samples that can be created.
  Inspection Lot Status: The status of the inspection lot may also affect the ability to create additional samples.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Sampling Procedure:
  
  Go to the configuration of the sampling procedure used for the inspection lot.
  Verify the maximum number of samples allowed and adjust it if necessary. You can do this in the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) under:
  Quality Management -> Quality Inspection -> Inspection Lot Creation -> Define Sampling Procedures
  
  
  
  
  Review Characteristic Settings:
  
  Check the settings for the characteristic in the inspection plan. Ensure that the characteristic allows for the creation of the desired number of samples.
  
  
  
  Inspect Lot Status:
  
  Ensure that the inspection lot is in a status that allows for sample creation. If the lot is completed or in a status that restricts further actions, you may need to change the status or create a new inspection lot.
  
  
  
  Adjust Sample Size:
  
  If you are trying to create more samples than allowed, consider adjusting the sample size to fit within the limits set by the sampling procedure.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP QM consultant for specific configurations related to your system.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this error or provide additional guidance.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:

  QA11: Record Results
  QAC3: Create Sample
  
  
  User Exits and BAdIs: If you have custom developments, check if there are any user exits or BAdIs that might be influencing the behavior of sample creation.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the QE034 error and successfully create the required samples for your inspection characteristic.
