This error indicates that the system cannot find the relative specification limits for a target value defined in the inspection plan or the material master.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Specification Limits: The most common cause is that the specification limits (upper and lower limits) for the target value have not been defined in the inspection plan or material master.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the quality management module may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of relative specification limits.
  Target Value Definition: The target value may not be properly defined or linked to the specification limits in the system.
  
  Solution:

  Review Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the Quality Management module. This may involve checking the settings for the quality inspection characteristics and ensuring that they are correctly set up to include relative specification limits.
