• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP370 - Set only one indicator for characteristic &: quantitative or qualitative ?

  The SAP error message QP370 ("Set only one indicator for characteristic &: quantitative or qualitative") typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when you are trying to define characteristics for a quality inspection plan or a similar configuration. This error indicates that both quantitative and qualitative indicators have been set for the same characteristic, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A characteristic is defined with both a quantitative indicator (which allows for numerical values) and a qualitative indicator (which allows for descriptive values) at the same time.
  This can happen during the creation or modification of inspection characteristics in the quality management module.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the QP370 error, you need to ensure that each characteristic is defined with only one type of indicator. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Characteristic Definition:
  
  Go to the transaction code for defining characteristics (e.g., QS21 for creating a characteristic or QS22 for changing it).
  
  
  
  Check the Characteristic Settings:
  
  Locate the characteristic that is causing the error.
  Review the settings to see if both the quantitative and qualitative indicators are checked.
  
  
  
  Modify the Characteristic:
  
  If both indicators are set, decide which one is appropriate for your needs (quantitative or qualitative).
  Uncheck the indicator that is not needed.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes to the characteristic.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After saving, try to execute the process that was causing the error to ensure that it has been resolved.
