• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QECOPY026 - Char. &1: It is not possible to process calculated characteristics ?

  The SAP error message QECOPY026 indicates that there is an issue with processing calculated characteristics in the context of quality management (QM) or similar modules. This error typically arises when you are trying to copy or process characteristics that are defined as calculated, which cannot be directly processed in the way you are attempting.
  Cause:
  
  Calculated Characteristics: The characteristic in question is defined as a calculated characteristic in the system. Calculated characteristics derive their values from other characteristics or data, and they cannot be processed in the same way as standard characteristics.

  Review Characteristic Definition: Check the definition of the characteristic in the characteristic master data. Ensure that it is correctly defined as a calculated characteristic and that it is being used in the appropriate context.
  Adjust Processing Logic: If you are trying to copy or process characteristics in a way that is not supported, consider adjusting your logic. For example, if you are trying to copy inspection results, ensure that you are not including calculated characteristics in the selection.
  Use Standard Characteristics: If possible, use standard characteristics instead of calculated ones for the operations you are attempting. This may involve changing the design of your quality management processes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on how to handle calculated characteristics and the specific context in which you are encountering the error.
  SAP Notes and Support: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this issue. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance.
