• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP379 - Select an upper tolerance that is greater than the lower tolerance ?

  The SAP error message QP379, which states "Select an upper tolerance that is greater than the lower tolerance," typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) when defining inspection characteristics for a material or process. This error indicates that the upper tolerance limit you have set is not greater than the lower tolerance limit, which is a requirement for defining valid tolerances.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Tolerance Values: The most common cause of this error is that the upper tolerance value has been set to a value that is less than or equal to the lower tolerance value.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been a typographical error or oversight when entering the tolerance values.
  Configuration Issues: In some cases, the configuration settings in the quality management module may not be set up correctly, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Tolerance Values: Go back to the inspection characteristic where the error occurred and check the values for upper and lower tolerances. Ensure that the upper tolerance is indeed greater than the lower tolerance.
  
  For example, if the lower tolerance is set to 10, the upper tolerance should be set to a value greater than 10 (e.g., 15).
  
  
  
  Correct the Values: If you find that the upper tolerance is incorrectly set, update it to a valid value that meets the requirement.
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and try to proceed with the process that triggered the error.
  
  
  Validation: If you are unsure about the correct tolerance values, consult with a quality engineer or a colleague who is knowledgeable about the specific requirements for the material or process in question.
