• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP290 - Inconsistency in plan usage &: dyn. sampling criterion & not available ?

  The SAP error message QP290 indicates an inconsistency in the plan usage and dynamic sampling criterion. This error typically arises in the context of Quality Management (QM) when there is a mismatch or misconfiguration in the quality inspection plans or sampling procedures.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Configuration: The error often occurs when the inspection plan is not properly configured, particularly if the dynamic sampling criterion is not defined or is inconsistent with the plan usage.
  Missing Data: The dynamic sampling criterion may not be available for the specific inspection lot or material being processed.
  Plan Usage Issues: The plan usage defined in the inspection plan may not match the expected usage in the context of the inspection lot or process.
  Versioning Issues: If there are multiple versions of the inspection plan, the system may be referencing an outdated or incorrect version.

  Review Dynamic Sampling Criteria:
  
  Ensure that the dynamic sampling criteria are set up correctly in the system. You can check this in the configuration settings for quality management.

  Update or Create New Inspection Plan:
  
  If the current inspection plan is incorrect, consider updating it or creating a new one that correctly reflects the required dynamic sampling criteria and plan usage.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
