  Cause:
  
  Missing MIC Mapping: The error arises when the system cannot find a mapping for the specified value assignment type and substance in the Quality Management configuration. This means that the system does not know how to handle the measurement for that particular combination.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check MIC Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code QMP1 (for creating MIC) or QMP2 (for changing MIC) and verify that the MIC for the specified value assignment type and substance is correctly defined.
  Ensure that the MIC is assigned to the correct inspection characteristics.
  
  
  
  Review Value Assignment Type:
