SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: QP - Message IDs for function module group QPAA

• Message number: 222

• Message text: Charac. & : Different sample unit of measure for same partial sample

What causes this issue?

For the partial sample of characteristic &v1&, you defined
characteristics with different sample units of measure.
The unit of measure of partial and material samples is based on the unit
of measure defined in the first characteristic of the partial sample.
In this case, the first characteristic is &v3& in operation &V2&.
For the calculation of the size of the partial sample:
The sample unit of measure of the first characteristic of the partial
sample is used as the unit of measure for the partial sample.
If you use sample management:
For the automatic creation of samples, the sample unit of measure of the
first characteristic determines the unit of measure used in the sample.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP222 - Charac. & : Different sample unit of measure for same partial sample ?

  The SAP error message QP222 ("Charac. & : Different sample unit of measure for same partial sample") typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) when dealing with inspection lots and sampling procedures. This error indicates that there is a mismatch in the units of measure for the sample characteristics defined for a particular inspection lot.
  Cause:
  
  Different Units of Measure: The error arises when the same partial sample is assigned characteristics that have different units of measure. For example, if one characteristic is measured in grams and another in kilograms, SAP will raise this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the inspection characteristics or the sampling procedure that lead to inconsistencies in the units of measure.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry during the creation of inspection plans or characteristics can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Inspection Characteristics: Review the inspection characteristics assigned to the inspection lot. Ensure that all characteristics for the same partial sample use the same unit of measure.
  Adjust Units of Measure: If you find discrepancies, adjust the units of measure for the characteristics so that they are consistent. This may involve changing the unit of measure in the inspection plan or characteristics.
  Review Sampling Procedure: Ensure that the sampling procedure is correctly defined and that it aligns with the characteristics being measured.
  Recreate Inspection Lot: If necessary, you may need to recreate the inspection lot or the inspection plan to ensure that all settings are correct.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing inspection characteristics and units of measure.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Quality Management (QM): Understanding the QM module in SAP can help in managing inspection lots, characteristics, and sampling procedures effectively.
  Unit of Measure Configuration: Familiarize yourself with how units of measure are configured in SAP, as this can help prevent similar issues in the future.
  SAP Notes and Support: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message, as there may be updates or fixes available.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the QM module for further assistance.
