• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QMIP_EA226 - Control indicators for &1 &2 allow for an upper specification limit ?

  The SAP error message QMIP_EA226 indicates that there is an issue with the control indicators for a specific characteristic in Quality Management (QM). This error typically arises when the system detects that the control indicators set for a characteristic do not allow for an upper specification limit (USL) to be defined or used.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Control Indicator Settings: The control indicators assigned to the characteristic may not be configured to allow for upper specification limits. This can happen if the characteristic is set to a type that does not support USL.
  Characteristic Configuration: The characteristic may be incorrectly configured in the master data, leading to inconsistencies in how limits are applied.
  Quality Management Settings: The overall settings in the Quality Management module may not be aligned with the requirements for the specific characteristic.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the QMIP_EA226 error, you can take the following steps:

  Verify the control indicators assigned to the characteristic. Ensure that they are set to allow for upper specification limits.
  
  
  
  Modify Characteristic Settings:
  
  If the control indicators do not allow for USL, you may need to change them. This can be done in the characteristic definition (transaction code QS21 or QS22).
  Ensure that the characteristic type supports upper specification limits.
  
  
  
  Review Quality Management Settings:
  
  Check the overall settings in the Quality Management module to ensure they are correctly configured to handle specifications.
  Make sure that the relevant quality inspection plans and lots are set up correctly.
