• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP095 - Formula &: no confirmation required for referenced characteristic & ?

  The SAP error message QP095, which states "Formula &: no confirmation required for referenced characteristic &," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) and is related to the use of characteristics in quality inspection plans or formulas. This error indicates that a characteristic referenced in a formula does not require confirmation, which can lead to issues in processing or evaluating the formula.
  Cause:
  
  Characteristic Configuration: The characteristic referenced in the formula may be configured in such a way that it does not require confirmation. This can happen if the characteristic is set to "No Confirmation" in the configuration settings.
  Formula Definition: The formula itself may be incorrectly defined or may reference characteristics that are not set up to require confirmation.
  Inspection Plan Settings: The inspection plan may have settings that conflict with the requirements of the formula, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Settings:
  
  Go to the characteristic configuration in the SAP system (transaction code CT04 for characteristics).
  Verify if the characteristic is set to require confirmation. If it is not, you may need to change the setting to require confirmation.
  
  
  
  Review Formula Definition:
  
  Check the formula definition in the inspection plan (transaction code QP01 for creating or QP02 for changing inspection plans).
  Ensure that all referenced characteristics are correctly defined and that they require confirmation.
  
  
  
  Adjust Inspection Plan:
  
  If the inspection plan is not set up correctly, you may need to adjust it to ensure that all characteristics used in formulas are configured to require confirmation.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring characteristics and formulas in the context of quality management.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the inspection plan and the formula to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
