• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP098 - Formula &: no original value recording for calculated characteristic ?

  The SAP error message QP098, which states "Formula &: no original value recording for calculated characteristic," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when dealing with calculated characteristics in quality inspection plans. This error indicates that the system is unable to find the original value for a calculated characteristic, which is necessary for the calculation to be performed.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Original Values: The original values that the calculated characteristic relies on may not have been recorded. This can happen if the inspection lot was created without capturing the necessary data for the original characteristics.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the calculated characteristic may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not being able to find the required original values.
  Data Entry Issues: There may be issues with how data was entered or recorded in the system, leading to missing or incomplete data for the original characteristics.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Original Values: Ensure that the original values for the characteristics that the calculated characteristic depends on have been recorded. You can do this by reviewing the inspection lot and the associated results.
  Review Inspection Plan: Verify the configuration of the inspection plan and the calculated characteristic. Ensure that the formula is correctly defined and that it references the correct original characteristics.
  Re-record Data: If original values are missing, you may need to re-record the inspection results for the relevant inspection lot to ensure that all necessary data is captured.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on how to set up and troubleshoot calculated characteristics in your version of SAP.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.

  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is involved, check for any user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) that may affect how calculated characteristics are processed.
