• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QS218 - Not entries were copied over ?

  The SAP error message QS218 ("No entries were copied over") typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) processes, particularly when trying to copy data from one quality inspection lot to another or when attempting to create a new inspection lot based on existing data.
  Causes:
  
  No Matching Data: The most common cause is that there are no existing inspection lots or data that meet the criteria for copying.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used for copying may be too restrictive, resulting in no entries being found.
  Status of Inspection Lots: The inspection lots you are trying to copy from may not be in a status that allows them to be copied (e.g., they may be completed or canceled).
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations to view or copy the inspection lots can also lead to this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Quality Management module that are not set up correctly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria you are using to ensure they are not too restrictive. Adjust them if necessary to include more potential entries.
  Verify Inspection Lot Status: Ensure that the inspection lots you are trying to copy from are in a valid status for copying. You may need to change the status of the lots or select different ones.
  Review Authorizations: Check if you have the necessary authorizations to access the inspection lots. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to grant the required permissions.
  Inspect Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the Quality Management module to ensure everything is set up correctly for copying inspection lots.
  Use Alternative Methods: If copying is not working, consider using alternative methods to achieve your goal, such as manually creating a new inspection lot or using different transaction codes.
