• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QIE_COMMON008 - Number range for findings does not exist ?

  The SAP error message QIE_COMMON008 indicates that there is an issue with the number range for findings in the Quality Management (QM) module. This error typically occurs when the system is unable to find a valid number range for creating or processing findings, which are often related to quality notifications or inspections.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Number Range: The number range for findings has not been defined in the system.
  Number Range Not Assigned: The number range may exist but is not assigned to the relevant document type or quality notification type.
  Number Range Interval Issues: The defined number range may not have any available numbers left, or the intervals may not be correctly set up.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or create entries in the number range.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Number Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Check if the number range object related to findings (e.g., QM_NUM_RANGE) is defined.
  If it is not defined, create a new number range object and define the intervals.
  
  
  
  Assign Number Range:
  
  Use transaction code OQN1 to check if the number range is assigned to the relevant document type.
  If it is not assigned, assign the appropriate number range to the document type.
  
  
  
  Check Number Range Intervals:
  
  In the same transaction (SNRO), check the intervals for the number range.
  Ensure that there are available numbers in the defined range. If the range is exhausted, you may need to extend it.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create or access the findings.
  Check the user roles and profiles to confirm that they have the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
