• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QE410 - The absolute frequency in class & is greater than inspection scope ?

  The SAP error message QE410 indicates that there is an issue with the absolute frequency of a characteristic in a quality inspection plan (QIP) being greater than the defined inspection scope. This typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) within SAP, particularly when dealing with inspection plans and sampling procedures.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the absolute frequency (the number of times a characteristic is to be inspected) specified for a characteristic in the inspection plan exceeds the total number of units that are included in the inspection scope. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The inspection plan may have been configured incorrectly, leading to a mismatch between the frequency and the inspection scope.
  Changes in Production: If the production quantity has changed after the inspection plan was created, the absolute frequency may no longer be valid.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors when setting up the inspection plan can lead to discrepancies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the QE410 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Inspection Plan:
  
  Go to the inspection plan in SAP and check the characteristics and their respective absolute frequencies.
  Ensure that the absolute frequency does not exceed the total number of units in the inspection scope.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Absolute Frequency:
  
  If the absolute frequency is indeed too high, adjust it to a value that is less than or equal to the inspection scope.
  
  
  
  Modify the Inspection Scope:
  
  If necessary, you can also modify the inspection scope to accommodate the absolute frequency, but this should be done with caution to ensure it aligns with quality requirements.
  
  
  
  Check Production Orders:
  
  If the inspection plan is linked to a specific production order, verify that the production order quantity matches the expected inspection scope.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing inspection plans and characteristics.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making adjustments, test the inspection plan to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the inspection process functions as intended.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like QP01 (Create Inspection Plan), QP02 (Change Inspection Plan), and QP03 (Display Inspection Plan) to manage inspection plans.
  Quality Management Module: Familiarity with the QM module in SAP is essential for understanding how inspection plans and characteristics work.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to this error message or provide updates and patches.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the QE410 error and ensure that your inspection plans are correctly configured.
