• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QE427 - No partial samples defined for characteristic &1 &2 &3 ?

  The SAP error message QE427 "No partial samples defined for characteristic &1 &2 &3" typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) when you are trying to create a sample for a characteristic that does not have any partial samples defined. This can happen during inspection lot processing or when working with quality notifications.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Partial Samples: The characteristic specified in the error message does not have any partial samples defined in the system. Partial samples are used to define how many samples should be taken for a specific characteristic during quality inspections.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration for the quality characteristic may not have been set up correctly, or the necessary settings for partial sampling may not have been maintained.
  Master Data Issues: The material master or inspection plan may not have the required settings for partial samples.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Partial Samples:
  
  Go to the transaction code QCC1 (for creating characteristics) or QCC2 (for changing characteristics).
  Locate the characteristic that is causing the error and check if partial samples are defined.
  If not, define the necessary partial samples for the characteristic.
  
  
  
  Check Inspection Plan:
  
  Ensure that the inspection plan associated with the material has the correct settings for the characteristics.
  Use transaction code QP01 to create or QP02 to change the inspection plan and verify the characteristics.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master:
  
  Check the material master data to ensure that the quality management views are correctly set up.
  Use transaction code MM02 to modify the material master and ensure that the QM settings are appropriate.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about how to define partial samples or modify the inspection plan, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP QM module expert.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error message no longer appears.
