• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QE355 - You have entered too many values for this attributive inspection ?

  The SAP error message QE355, "You have entered too many values for this attributive inspection," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when you are trying to enter inspection results for an inspection characteristic that has a limit on the number of permissible values.
  Cause:
  This error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Exceeding Value Limits: The inspection characteristic is defined to accept a limited number of values, and the user is attempting to enter more values than allowed.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration of the inspection characteristic may restrict the number of values that can be entered.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in how the values are being entered, such as trying to input multiple values in a field that only allows a single entry.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the QE355 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Configuration:
  
  Go to the inspection characteristic configuration in the Quality Management module.

  Limit the Number of Entries:

  Review Data Entry:
  
  Double-check the data entry process to ensure that you are not inadvertently trying to enter multiple values in a single field. If you are using a batch input or a programmatic method to enter data, ensure that the logic adheres to the limits set in the characteristic configuration.
