• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QI131 - No authorization for insp. type or material for insp. characteristic &1 ?

  The SAP error message QI131 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a specific inspection type or material for an inspection characteristic. This typically occurs in the Quality Management (QM) module when a user attempts to perform actions related to quality inspections but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations for the inspection type or material.

  Inspection Characteristics: The inspection characteristics may not be properly defined or linked to the material or inspection type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed.
