• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QS204 - Selected sets are not defined for this catalog type ?

  The SAP error message QS204 ("Selected sets are not defined for this catalog type") typically occurs in the context of SAP Quality Management (QM) when you are trying to use a selected set that has not been defined for the specific catalog type you are working with. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating inspection plans, quality notifications, or other QM-related activities.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Selected Set Definition: The selected set you are trying to use has not been defined for the catalog type in question. Each catalog type can have its own set of selected sets, and if the selected set is not linked to the catalog type, this error will occur.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue in the Quality Management module where the selected sets are not properly assigned to the catalog type.
  User Authorization: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the selected sets.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Selected Sets:
  
  Go to the transaction code QS21 (Maintain Selected Sets) in SAP.
  Check if the selected set you are trying to use is defined for the specific catalog type.
  If it is not defined, you will need to create a new selected set or modify an existing one to include the necessary catalog type.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Use transaction code SPRO to access the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide.
  Navigate to the Quality Management section and check the settings for selected sets and catalog types.
  Ensure that the selected sets are correctly assigned to the relevant catalog types.
  
  
  
  User Authorization:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the selected sets.
  Check the user roles and profiles to ensure they include the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process again to see if the error persists.
