• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QE408 - No. of values above tolerance range is greater than inspection scope ?

  The SAP error message QE408 ("No. of values above tolerance range is greater than inspection scope") typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) within SAP. This error indicates that during the inspection process, the number of measured values that exceed the defined tolerance limits is greater than what is allowed based on the inspection scope.
  Cause:
  
  Tolerance Limits Exceeded: The measured values from the inspection lot exceed the upper or lower tolerance limits defined for the characteristic being inspected.
  Inspection Scope: The inspection scope may be set incorrectly, or the number of samples taken may not be sufficient to cover the expected range of values.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be errors in the data entry of the inspection results, leading to incorrect values being recorded.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration of the inspection characteristics or the quality management settings may not align with the actual process requirements.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Inspection Results: Check the inspection results to identify which values are exceeding the tolerance limits. This can help in understanding if the issue is due to actual quality problems or data entry errors.
  Adjust Tolerance Limits: If the tolerance limits are too strict for the process, consider adjusting them to more realistic values based on historical data and process capability.
  Increase Inspection Scope: If the inspection scope is too narrow, consider increasing the number of samples or the scope of the inspection to ensure it adequately covers the process variability.
  Correct Data Entry: Verify and correct any data entry errors in the inspection results. Ensure that the values entered are accurate and reflect the actual measurements taken.
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration of the inspection characteristics in the SAP QM module to ensure they are set up correctly according to the quality requirements of the product or process.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on quality management and inspection lot processing.
  Quality Management Best Practices: Implement best practices for quality control and inspection processes to minimize the occurrence of such errors.
  Training: Ensure that personnel involved in quality inspections are adequately trained in using the SAP QM module and understand the importance of accurate data entry and tolerance settings.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP QM expert or your organization's SAP support team for further assistance.
