• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QPCP087 - The FMEA does not contain the FMEA char. &1 of inspection char. &2 ?

  The SAP error message QPCP087 indicates that there is a mismatch between the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and the inspection characteristics defined in the Quality Management (QM) module. Specifically, it means that the FMEA does not contain the required FMEA characteristic for the specified inspection characteristic.
  Cause:
  
  Missing FMEA Characteristic: The FMEA does not include the characteristic that is being referenced in the inspection plan.
  Incorrect Configuration: The inspection characteristic may not be properly linked to the FMEA in the system.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be typographical errors or incorrect entries in the FMEA or inspection characteristic definitions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check FMEA Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the FMEA transaction (usually transaction code QF01 for creating or QF02 for changing).
  Verify that the FMEA characteristic specified in the error message is indeed included in the FMEA document.
  If it is missing, you will need to add it to the FMEA.
  
  
  
  Review Inspection Characteristics:
  
  Go to the inspection plan (transaction code QP01 for creating or QP02 for changing).
  Check the inspection characteristics and ensure they are correctly defined and linked to the appropriate FMEA.
  
  
  
  Link FMEA to Inspection Characteristics:
  
  If the FMEA characteristic is not linked to the inspection characteristic, you may need to establish this link.
  This can typically be done in the inspection plan settings where you can assign the relevant FMEA.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to FMEA and inspection characteristics for additional guidance on proper configuration.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error message no longer appears.
