How To Fix QS387 - Only specify one sampling procedure

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: QS - QM: Master data

• Message number: 387

• Message text: Only specify one sampling procedure

What causes this issue?

When replacing master inspection characteristics in a task list, you
want to simultaneously replace different sampling procedures. You have
entered these sampling procedures on the screen 333.

System Response

Transaction QS27 does not have this enhanced function. When you replace
master inspection characteristics, you can always only replace one
sampling procedure (of course in several task lists).

How to fix this error?

Enter only one sampling procedure that is to be simultaneously replaced.
If necessary, you can execute transaction QS27 several times - for every
sampling procedure. The advantage of this is that if the transaction is
being used in several places at once, the runtime of the transaction
will be distributed.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
