  The SAP error message QP350, which states "No master inspection characteristics are defined," typically occurs in the Quality Management (QM) module when you are trying to create or process a quality inspection lot, but the system cannot find any master inspection characteristics (MICs) associated with the inspection plan.
  Cause:
