• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QS117 - Target value does not lie within the tolerance change ?

  The SAP error message QS117 ("Target value does not lie within the tolerance change") typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) when dealing with inspection characteristics and their associated target values and tolerances. This error indicates that the target value set for a particular inspection characteristic is outside the defined tolerance limits.
  Cause:
  
  Target Value Setting: The target value for the inspection characteristic has been set incorrectly or is not aligned with the defined tolerances.
  Tolerance Limits: The upper and lower tolerance limits for the characteristic do not encompass the target value. This can happen if the tolerances were defined incorrectly or if the target value was changed after the tolerances were set.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors when setting the target value or tolerances can lead to this issue.
  Changes in Specifications: If there have been changes in the product specifications or quality standards, the target value may need to be adjusted accordingly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Target Value: Check the target value set for the inspection characteristic. Ensure that it is within the defined tolerance limits.
  Adjust Tolerances: If the target value is correct but the tolerances are too narrow, consider adjusting the upper and lower tolerance limits to accommodate the target value.
  Correct Data Entry: Verify that there are no typographical errors in the target value or tolerance settings.
  Consult Specifications: If there have been recent changes to product specifications, ensure that the target values and tolerances are updated to reflect these changes.
  Quality Management Settings: Review the quality management settings in SAP to ensure that they are configured correctly for the specific inspection characteristics being used.

  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed guidance on setting up inspection characteristics and tolerances.
