• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP361 - Insert interval must be smaller than & ?

  The SAP error message QP361 ("Insert interval must be smaller than &") typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when you are trying to insert a new inspection interval that overlaps with an existing one or is not properly defined according to the system's requirements.
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Intervals: The new inspection interval you are trying to insert overlaps with an existing interval in the system.
  Incorrect Interval Definition: The start and end dates/times of the new interval may not be correctly defined, leading to a situation where the system cannot accept the new interval.

  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Intervals: Review the existing inspection intervals in the system. Ensure that the new interval you are trying to insert does not overlap with any existing intervals.
  Adjust Interval Dates: Modify the start and end dates/times of the new interval to ensure they are smaller than the existing intervals and do not overlap.
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, check the configuration settings in the Quality Management module to ensure that they are set up correctly. This may involve consulting with your SAP QM configuration team or reviewing the relevant documentation.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like QP01 (Create Inspection Plan) or QP02 (Change Inspection Plan) to manage inspection intervals and ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
