  The SAP error message QP089 ("No partial samples exist for referenced characteristic &") typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) when dealing with inspection lots and characteristics. This error indicates that the system is unable to find any partial samples for the specified characteristic in the inspection lot.
  Cause:
  
  No Partial Samples Created: The most common cause is that no partial samples have been created for the referenced characteristic in the inspection lot.

  Review Characteristic Settings: Ensure that the characteristic settings allow for partial sampling. This can be checked in the characteristic definition in the inspection plan.
