• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QS834 - No class charac. is assigned to the master inspection characteristic ?

  The SAP error message QS834 ("No class charac. is assigned to the master inspection characteristic") typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when you are trying to create or modify a master inspection characteristic (MIC) that is not properly linked to a class characteristic.
  Cause:
  The error indicates that the master inspection characteristic you are working with does not have a class characteristic assigned to it. In SAP QM, master inspection characteristics are often linked to class characteristics to define their properties and behavior. If this linkage is missing, the system cannot process the MIC correctly, leading to the QS834 error.
  Solution:
  To resolve the QS834 error, you need to ensure that the master inspection characteristic is properly assigned to a class characteristic. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Master Inspection Characteristic:
  
  Go to the transaction code QS21 (Create Master Inspection Characteristic) or QS22 (Change Master Inspection Characteristic) in SAP.
  
  
  
  Check the Characteristic:
  
  Enter the relevant details to find the master inspection characteristic that is causing the error.
  
  
  
  Assign Class Characteristic:
  
  In the characteristic details, look for the section where you can assign a class characteristic. This is usually found under the "Class" or "Classification" tab.
  If there is no class characteristic assigned, you will need to create or select an appropriate class characteristic that fits the requirements of your inspection characteristic.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After assigning the class characteristic, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  Try to perform the action that previously triggered the QS834 error to ensure that the issue has been resolved.
