• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP372 - Upper tolerance limit is not within class limit ?

  The SAP error message QP372, which states "Upper tolerance limit is not within class limit," typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) when dealing with inspection characteristics in a quality inspection plan. This error indicates that the upper tolerance limit defined for a specific inspection characteristic exceeds the allowable limits set in the classification system.
  Cause:
  
  Tolerance Settings: The upper tolerance limit for the inspection characteristic is set higher than the maximum limit defined in the associated class or specification.
  Class Limits: The class limits for the characteristic may not be properly defined or may not align with the expected values for the material or product being inspected.
  Data Entry Errors: There may have been a mistake in entering the tolerance limits during the creation or modification of the inspection plan.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Inspection Characteristics:
  
  Go to the inspection plan where the error occurred and check the inspection characteristics.
  Verify the upper tolerance limit and ensure it is within the defined class limits.
  
  
  
  Check Class Limits:
  
  Navigate to the classification system in SAP and review the class limits for the relevant characteristic.
  If necessary, adjust the class limits to accommodate the upper tolerance limit of the inspection characteristic.
  
  
  
  Modify Inspection Plan:
  
  If the upper tolerance limit is indeed correct and should remain as is, consider modifying the class limits to reflect the necessary tolerances.
  Alternatively, adjust the upper tolerance limit in the inspection plan to ensure it falls within the defined class limits.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant documentation or guidelines regarding tolerance limits and class definitions to ensure compliance with quality standards.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making adjustments, re-test the inspection plan to ensure that the error message no longer appears.
