• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP671 - Enter a lower specification limit ?

  The SAP error message QP671, which states "Enter a lower specification limit," typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) within SAP when you are trying to create or modify a quality inspection characteristic. This error indicates that the system requires a lower specification limit to be defined for the characteristic you are working with.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are attempting to create or modify a quality inspection characteristic that requires specification limits (e.g., upper and lower limits for measurements).
  The lower specification limit has not been entered, which is mandatory for certain types of characteristics, especially when they are defined as "specification" type characteristics.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the QP671 error, you should:
  
  Access the Quality Inspection Characteristic: Go to the transaction where you are defining or modifying the quality inspection characteristic (e.g., transaction code QCC1 for creating characteristics).
  Enter the Lower Specification Limit: In the relevant field for the characteristic, enter a valid lower specification limit. This limit should be a numerical value that makes sense in the context of the measurement you are defining.
  Save Changes: After entering the required information, save your changes to ensure that the characteristic is correctly defined.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Upper Specification Limit: In addition to the lower specification limit, you may also need to define an upper specification limit, depending on the requirements of your quality inspection.
  Characteristic Types: Understand the different types of characteristics in SAP QM (e.g., qualitative, quantitative) and their requirements for specification limits.
  Quality Management Configuration: Ensure that your quality management settings are correctly configured to avoid similar issues in the future.
  Documentation and Help: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on quality management and inspection characteristics.
