• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QMIP_EA353 - Selected set &3 plant &4 already exists for source &1 / &2 ?

  The SAP error message QMIP_EA353 indicates that there is an issue with the selected set in the Quality Management (QM) module. Specifically, it means that the selected set you are trying to create or modify already exists for the specified plant and source.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to create a new selected set (which is a grouping of inspection characteristics) that has the same identifier as an existing selected set for the same source and plant. This can happen due to:
  
  Duplicate Entry: You may be trying to create a selected set that has already been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There might be a mistake in the data you are entering, leading to a conflict with existing records.
  System Configuration: The system may have been configured in a way that does not allow duplicate selected sets for the same source and plant.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Selected Sets:
  
  Navigate to the transaction code for managing selected sets (e.g., QG01 for creating or QG02 for changing).
  Search for the selected set using the source and plant information to confirm if it already exists.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Existing Selected Set:
  
  If the selected set already exists and you need to make changes, consider modifying the existing set instead of creating a new one.
  If the existing selected set is no longer needed, you can delete it if your business process allows for it.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Identifier:
  
  If you need to create a new selected set, consider using a different identifier that does not conflict with existing entries.
