  The SAP error message QP096, which states "Formula &: no original value recording for referenced characteristic &," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) and is related to the use of formulas in quality inspection plans. This error indicates that the system is unable to find the original value recording for a characteristic that is referenced in a formula.

  Solution:
  
  Check Characteristic Configuration: Verify that the characteristic referenced in the formula is correctly configured in the system. Ensure that it is set up to record original values.
  Record Original Values: If the characteristic is correctly configured but original values are missing, ensure that the inspection lot has been processed correctly and that original values have been recorded for the relevant characteristics.
  Review Formula Setup: Check the formula setup in the inspection plan. Ensure that all referenced characteristics are valid and that the formula is correctly defined.
  Inspect Inspection Lot: If the error occurs during the processing of an inspection lot, review the lot to ensure that all necessary data has been entered and that there are no missing values.
