  The SAP error message QI020 indicates that a valuation was executed in the Quality Inspection (QI) process, but no indicators were set to allow for this valuation. This typically occurs in the context of quality management and inspection lot processing.
  Cause:

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the Quality Management module that prevent the proper setup of inspection characteristics or valuation methods.
  Incorrect Inspection Lot Creation: The inspection lot may have been created incorrectly, leading to a situation where the system does not recognize it as valid for valuation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the QI020 error, you can take the following steps:
