• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QE117 - No conditional characteristics available for controlling charac. & ?

  The SAP error message QE117 ("No conditional characteristics available for controlling charac. &") typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when you are trying to create or process inspection plans, and it indicates that there are no conditional characteristics available for the specified controlling characteristic.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Conditional Characteristics: The primary cause of this error is that the system cannot find any conditional characteristics that are linked to the controlling characteristic you are trying to use. Conditional characteristics are used to define specific conditions under which certain characteristics are relevant.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the inspection characteristics or the quality management module. This could include missing settings in the characteristic definitions or in the inspection plan.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the material or inspection plan may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of the expected conditional characteristics.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code QS21 (Create Characteristic) or QS22 (Change Characteristic) and verify that the conditional characteristics are correctly defined for the controlling characteristic.
  Ensure that the characteristics are assigned to the correct inspection plan.
  
  
  
  Review Inspection Plan:
  
  Use transaction code QP01 (Create Inspection Plan) or QP02 (Change Inspection Plan) to check the inspection plan for the material in question. Ensure that the controlling characteristic is properly linked to the conditional characteristics.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify the material master data using transaction code MM03 (Display Material) to ensure that the quality management views are correctly maintained.
  Ensure that the relevant quality management settings are activated for the material.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the configuration, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP QM module expert to ensure that all necessary settings are in place.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the process again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Related Information:
