• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP373 - Choose a class midpoint that is smaller than the upper plausibility limit ?

  The SAP error message QP373, which states "Choose a class midpoint that is smaller than the upper plausibility limit," typically occurs in the context of quality management and inspection planning within SAP. This error is related to the definition of inspection characteristics, particularly when setting up quality control parameters for inspection lots.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the midpoint of a class (used for defining ranges of acceptable values) is set to a value that exceeds the upper plausibility limit defined for that characteristic. In other words, the midpoint you are trying to set is not valid because it falls outside the acceptable range defined by the upper limit.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Class Midpoint: Review the class midpoint you are trying to set. Ensure that it is indeed less than the upper plausibility limit.
  
  
  Review Upper Plausibility Limit: Check the upper plausibility limit for the inspection characteristic you are working with. This can usually be found in the inspection characteristic settings.
  
  
  Adjust Values: If the midpoint is incorrectly set, adjust it to a value that is less than the upper plausibility limit. If necessary, you may also need to adjust the upper plausibility limit if it is set incorrectly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on setting up inspection characteristics and understanding plausibility limits.
  
  
  Test Changes: After making adjustments, test the changes by attempting to save or process the inspection characteristic again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Inspection Characteristics: These are parameters defined in SAP QM (Quality Management) that specify how quality inspections are to be conducted.
  Plausibility Limits: These limits are used to ensure that the values entered for inspection characteristics are within a reasonable range, helping to maintain data integrity.
  Quality Management Module: Familiarity with the SAP QM module can be beneficial for understanding how inspection characteristics and plausibility limits work.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be helpful to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP community forums for additional insights and assistance.
