• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP398 - Only relative tolerances can be defined as depending on a target value ?

  The SAP error message QP398, which states "Only relative tolerances can be defined as depending on a target value," typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) when you are trying to set up tolerances for inspection characteristics in a quality inspection plan.
  
  Cause:
  This error arises when you attempt to define absolute tolerances (fixed values) that are dependent on a target value. In SAP QM, only relative tolerances (which are expressed as a percentage of the target value) can be set to depend on a target value. This means that if you want to use a target value to determine tolerances, those tolerances must be defined as relative.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check Tolerance Settings: Go to the inspection characteristic settings in your quality inspection plan and verify the type of tolerances you have defined.
  
  
  Change to Relative Tolerances: If you have defined absolute tolerances, change them to relative tolerances. This
