This error typically occurs when you are trying to create or update inspection results in the Quality Management module, and the system expects a quantity value that has not been supplied.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Quantity Input: The most common cause is that the quantity field is left blank or not populated in the data being sent to the system.
  Incorrect Data Mapping: If you are using an interface or an API to send data to SAP, there may be an issue with how the data is being mapped or structured.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Quality Management module that require certain fields to be filled out, and these settings may not be aligned with the data being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input Data: Ensure that the quantity for the inspection point, lot, and operation is being provided in the input data. This is the most straightforward solution.
  Review API Calls: If you are using an API to send data, review the API call to ensure that the quantity field is included and correctly populated.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the process to see where the quantity is being lost or not set.
  Configuration Review: Check the configuration settings in the Quality Management module to ensure that all required fields are correctly set up and that there are no mandatory fields that are being overlooked.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific transaction or API you are using to ensure compliance with required fields.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional context.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in the QM module, such as QA32 (for displaying inspection lots) or QA11 (for recording results).
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the transaction has the necessary authorizations to perform the action, as sometimes missing authorizations can lead to incomplete data submissions.
