• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QMAPP_ERROR005 - Please start with 'Z' for Selected Set ?

  The SAP error message QMAPP_ERROR005 with the description "Please start with 'Z' for Selected Set" typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when working with selected sets in SAP. This error indicates that the selected set you are trying to use does not conform to the naming convention required by the system.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered because the selected set name you are trying to use does not start with the letter 'Z'. In SAP, custom objects (like selected sets) are often required to start with 'Z' or 'Y' to distinguish them from standard SAP objects. This is a common naming convention to avoid conflicts with standard SAP objects.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Selected Set Name: Ensure that the selected set you are trying to use starts with the letter 'Z'. If it does not, you will need to rename it accordingly.
  
  
  Create a New Selected Set: If you do not have the ability to rename the existing selected set, you may need to create a new selected set that adheres to the naming convention. When creating a new selected set, make sure to start the name with 'Z'.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are working with a custom development or configuration, ensure that any related settings or configurations also follow the naming conventions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the naming conventions or how to create a selected set, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator or support team.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional context or solutions related to this error.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to Quality Management, such as QCC0 for selected sets, to better understand how to manage them.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify selected sets in the system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the QMAPP_ERROR005 error and successfully work with selected sets in SAP.
