• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP670 - Enter an upper specification limit ?

  The SAP error message QP670, which states "Enter an upper specification limit," typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) when you are trying to create or modify a quality inspection characteristic and have not provided an upper specification limit (USL) for that characteristic.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are defining a quality characteristic in a quality inspection plan (QIP) or a quality notification, and the system requires an upper specification limit to be set.
  The characteristic is defined as a quantitative measurement, and the system needs both upper and lower specification limits to evaluate the quality of the product.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you need to enter an upper specification limit for the characteristic in question. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Quality Inspection Plan:
  
  Go to the transaction code for creating or modifying a quality inspection plan (e.g., QP01 for creating or QP02 for changing).
  
  
  
  Locate the Characteristic:
  
  Navigate to the specific characteristic that is causing the error.
  
  
  
  Enter the Upper Specification Limit:
  
  In the characteristic details, find the field for the upper specification limit (USL).
  Enter a valid numerical value that represents the upper limit for the quality characteristic.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After entering the USL, save your changes to the inspection plan.
  
  
  
  Check for Lower Specification Limit:
  
  Ensure that a lower specification limit (LSL) is also defined if required, as both limits may be necessary for certain types of characteristics.
