The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

You must specify an SPC criterion if you wish to maintain quality
control charts for this characteristic. You thus specify which
inspection results are entered in a common control chart.
No control charts will be created during inspection processing if you
do not specify an SPC criterion.
It is not possible, in this case, to valuate the inspection results
using the action control limits. If this type of valuation is
predefined, you have to close the sample or characteristic using the
forced closure function.
