• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QS301 - Code group has not yet been created ?

  The SAP error message QS301, which states "Code group has not yet been created," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when you are trying to use a code group that has not been defined in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating inspection lots, quality notifications, or when working with quality certificates.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the code group you are trying to use has not been set up in the SAP system. Code groups are used to categorize and manage different types of codes (like defects, causes, etc.) in the Quality Management module. If the code group is missing, the system cannot proceed with the operation you are attempting.
  Solution:
  To resolve the QS301 error, you need to create the missing code group. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Code Group Configuration:

  Assign Codes to the Code Group:
  
  After creating the code group, you may need to assign specific codes to it. This can be done in the same area where you created the code group.
  
  
  
  Check for Existing Code Groups:
  
  If you believe the code group should already exist, double-check the spelling and ensure that you are using the correct code group identifier.
