• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP858 - Master inspection characteristic &1 &2 &3 is not released ?

  The SAP error message QP858 indicates that a master inspection characteristic (MIC) is not released. This typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) in SAP, where master inspection characteristics are used to define the quality criteria for inspection plans.
  Cause:
  The error message QP858 can be triggered by several factors:
  
  Unreleased MIC: The master inspection characteristic has not been released for use in inspection plans.
  Status Issues: The MIC may be in a status that does not allow it to be used (e.g., it might be in a draft or inactive state).
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or release the MIC.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Quality Management module that are preventing the MIC from being released.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error message QP858, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the MIC:
  
  Go to the transaction code QS22 (Change Master Inspection Characteristic).
  Enter the MIC number and check its status. If it is not released, you will need to release it.
  
  
  
  Release the MIC:
  
  If the MIC is in a draft state, you can release it by selecting the appropriate option in the transaction. This usually involves changing the status to "Released."
  
  
  
  Verify Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to release and use the MIC. This may involve checking user roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings in the Quality Management module to ensure that there are no restrictions preventing the MIC from being released.
