• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QIE_ELEMENT014 - No number range specified in Customizing for sample/item type & ?

  The SAP error message QIE_ELEMENT014 indicates that there is no number range specified in the Customizing settings for a specific sample or item type. This error typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when trying to create or process quality notifications, inspection lots, or other related objects that require a unique identifier.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system is unable to find a defined number range for the specified sample or item type in the Customizing settings. This can happen if:
  
  The number range has not been defined for the specific sample/item type in the configuration.
  The number range has been deleted or is inactive.
  There is a mismatch between the sample/item type being used and the number range configuration.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that a valid number range is defined for the relevant sample/item type in the SAP system. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access Customizing:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen and enter the transaction code SPRO to access the Customizing Implementation Guide.
  
  
  
  Navigate to Quality Management Settings:
  
  Follow the path: Quality Management -> Quality Planning -> Inspection Planning -> Define Sample and Item Types.
  
  
  
  Check Number Range Assignment:
  
  Look for the section where you can define number ranges for sample/item types.
  Ensure that a number range is assigned to the specific sample/item type that is causing the error.
  
  
  
  Define a New Number Range (if necessary):
  
  If no number range exists, you may need to create a new one. This can typically be done in the same area where you define the number range assignments.
  Use transaction code SNRO to create a new number range object if needed.
  
  
  
  Activate the Number Range:
  
  Ensure that the number range is active and properly configured (e.g., set the intervals, assign it to the correct object).
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process that was causing the error to ensure that it is resolved.
