  The SAP error message QPVP041 indicates that a Production Resource Tool (PRT) cannot be deleted because it is currently assigned to an inspection characteristic. This typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) within SAP, where PRTs are used to manage tools and resources associated with inspection processes.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to delete a PRT that is linked to an inspection characteristic in a Quality Inspection Plan. The system prevents the deletion to maintain data integrity, as the PRT is still in use for quality inspections.
  Solution:
