  The SAP error message QG208, which states "Results history does not exist," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when you are trying to access or display results for a quality inspection lot or a quality notification, but the system cannot find any historical results associated with that object.
  Causes:
  
  No Results Recorded: The most common cause is that no results have been recorded for the inspection lot or notification you are trying to access.
