  The SAP error message QIE_SETUP043 indicates that a decision code group for samples has not been specified in the Quality Inspection (QI) setup. This error typically occurs when you are trying to create or process inspection lots, and the system requires a decision code group to determine how to handle the inspection results.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the configuration for the quality inspection process is incomplete. Specifically, the system expects a decision code group to be defined for the inspection type or the material being inspected, but it has not been set up.
