SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: QE - RM-QSS Fehlertexte zur Ergebniserfassung

• Message number: 613

• Message text: The inspection characteristic does not have a tolerance range

What causes this issue?

The inspection characteristic does not have tolerance limits.
However, a one-sided or a double-sided tolerance range is required for
the estimation of values for the share of nonconforming units with the
procedure you selected.

System Response

The shares of units that are too small, too large, or nonconforming
were not calculated.

How to fix this error?

Select a different procdure for calculating the share, or change the

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QE613 - The inspection characteristic does not have a tolerance range ?

  The SAP error message QE613, which states "The inspection characteristic does not have a tolerance range," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when you are trying to perform an inspection lot or quality inspection and the system cannot find a defined tolerance range for a specific inspection characteristic.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Tolerance Definition: The most common cause of this error is that the inspection characteristic you are trying to use does not have a tolerance range defined in the system. This can happen if the characteristic was created without specifying tolerances or if the tolerances were deleted or not maintained properly.
  
  
  Incorrect Characteristic Assignment: The inspection characteristic may not be correctly assigned to the material or inspection plan, leading to the system not being able to find the associated tolerances.
  
  
  Inspection Plan Issues: If the inspection plan is not properly configured or if the characteristic is not included in the plan, it may lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Tolerance Ranges:
  
  Go to the inspection characteristic configuration in the Quality Management module.
  Navigate to the relevant inspection characteristic and ensure that a tolerance range is defined. This can be done in the transaction code QCC1 (for creating characteristics) or QCC2 (for changing characteristics).
  Make sure to specify the lower and upper limits for the tolerance.
  
  
  
  Check Inspection Plan:
  
  Verify that the inspection plan associated with the material includes the inspection characteristic in question.
  Use transaction code QP01 to display or change the inspection plan and ensure that the characteristic is correctly defined with tolerances.
  
  
  
  Material Master Settings:
  
  Check the material master data to ensure that the quality management views are properly set up and that the inspection characteristics are linked to the correct material.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Adjust Characteristics:
  
  If the characteristic is not set up correctly, you may need to recreate it or adjust the existing one to include the necessary tolerance ranges.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about how to set up tolerances or characteristics, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP QM module expert.

  QP02: Change Inspection Plan
  QCC1: Create Characteristic
  QCC2: Change Characteristic
  QCC3: Display Characteristic
  
  
  
  Quality Management Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the configuration settings in the Quality Management module, especially those related to inspection characteristics and tolerance definitions.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance related to this error message.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the QE613 error and ensure that your inspection characteristics are properly configured with the necessary tolerance ranges.
