  The SAP error message QMIP_EA238 indicates that the system could not determine tolerance limits for a specific value assignment type in the Quality Management (QM) module. This error typically arises during the inspection process when the system is trying to evaluate or process quality characteristics that require tolerance limits.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Tolerance Limits: The most common cause is that the tolerance limits for the specified value assignment type (indicated by &1 in the error message) have not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration of the quality management settings, such as the characteristics or the inspection plan.
  Value Assignment Type Issues: The value assignment type itself may not be correctly set up or may not be linked to the appropriate characteristics.
