• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QS014 - Enter a dynamic modification criterion ?

  The SAP error message QS014, which states "Enter a dynamic modification criterion," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) within SAP. This error is related to the configuration of dynamic modification criteria for quality inspection processes.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system expects a dynamic modification criterion to be specified, but it has not been provided. Dynamic modification criteria are used to determine how inspection lots are processed based on specific conditions or characteristics. If these criteria are not set up correctly or are missing, the system cannot proceed with the inspection lot processing.
  Solution:
  To resolve the QS014 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for Quality Management in SAP.
  Navigate to the section for dynamic modification criteria (usually found under Quality Planning or Quality Inspection).
  Ensure that the necessary dynamic modification criteria are defined and activated.
  
  
  
  Define Dynamic Modification Criteria:
  
  If no criteria are defined, you will need to create them. This involves specifying the conditions under which the inspection lot should be modified dynamically.
  You can do this by going to the transaction code SPRO and following the path: 
  
  Quality Management -> Quality Inspection -> Dynamic Modification of Inspection Lots -> Define Dynamic Modification Criteria.
  
  
  
  
  
  Assign Criteria to Inspection Types:
  
  Ensure that the dynamic modification criteria are assigned to the relevant inspection types. This can be done in the same configuration area.
  
  
  
  Review Inspection Lot Creation:
  
  When creating inspection lots, ensure that all required fields, including the dynamic modification criteria, are filled out correctly.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making changes, test the configuration by creating a new inspection lot to see if the error persists.
