• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP313 - Dependent characteristic specs not possible for task list type & ?

  The SAP error message QP313, which states "Dependent characteristic specs not possible for task list type &," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when working with task lists in SAP. This error indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of dependent characteristics in the task list type you are trying to use.
  Cause:
  
  Task List Type Configuration: The task list type you are using may not support dependent characteristics. Dependent characteristics are typically used in specific types of task lists, and if the task list type is not configured to handle them, this error will occur.
  Missing or Incorrect Settings: There may be missing or incorrect settings in the configuration of the task list type or the characteristics themselves.
  Incompatibility: The characteristics you are trying to use may not be compatible with the task list type due to the way they are defined in the system.
