• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QF094 - Save the defect before you assign it to a notification ?

  The SAP error message QF094, which states "Save the defect before you assign it to a notification," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) within SAP. This error indicates that you are trying to assign a defect (or quality notification) to a notification before the defect has been saved in the system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the defect record you are trying to assign has not been saved yet. In SAP, certain actions can only be performed on saved records. If you attempt to assign a defect to a notification without saving it first, the system will generate this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Save the Defect Record: Before attempting to assign the defect to a notification, ensure that you have filled in all the required fields in the defect record and then save it. You can do this by clicking the "Save" button (usually represented by a disk icon) in the SAP interface.
  
  
  Reassign the Defect: After saving the defect, you can then proceed to assign it to the desired notification. Navigate to the relevant section where you can assign defects to notifications and perform the assignment.
  
  
  Check for Required Fields: If you encounter issues while saving the defect, ensure that all mandatory fields are filled out correctly. Missing required information can prevent the record from being saved.
