How To Fix QS849 - For characteristic &1 &2, a sampling procedure has not been entered

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: QS - QM: Master data

• Message number: 849

• Message text: For characteristic &1 &2, a sampling procedure has not been entered

What causes this issue?

A sampling procedure must be assigned to the master inspection
characteristic. However, in the material specification, you have not
yet assigned either a lot-based or an inspection point-based
sampling procedure.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Select <LS>Goto -> Values</> from the menu bar, and assign a
sampling procedure to the lot-based as well as the inspection
point-based inspection on the values screen.
If you do not enter a sampling procedure, the system uses the sampling
procedure entered in the plan when creating the inspection lot (if
inspections are also carried out using a plan). If no sampling
procedure is entered for the plan, the system uses the sampling
procedure defined in Customizing at plant level.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QS849 - For characteristic &1 &2, a sampling procedure has not been entered ?

  The SAP error message QS849 indicates that a sampling procedure has not been defined for a specific characteristic in the quality management module. This error typically arises when you are trying to perform quality inspections or create inspection plans, and the system requires a sampling procedure to be associated with a characteristic.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Sampling Procedure: The primary cause of this error is that the characteristic specified in the error message does not have an associated sampling procedure defined in the system.
  Configuration Issues: The sampling procedure may not have been configured correctly in the quality management settings.
  Master Data Issues: The material or inspection plan may not have the necessary sampling procedure assigned.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the QS849 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Characteristic:
  
  Go to the characteristic definition in the inspection plan or material master.
  Ensure that a sampling procedure is assigned to the characteristic.
  
  
  
  Assign a Sampling Procedure:
  
  If a sampling procedure is not assigned, you can assign one by:
  
  Navigating to the inspection plan (transaction code QP01 for creating or QP02 for changing).
  Selecting the characteristic in question and entering a valid sampling procedure in the relevant field.
  
  
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Sampling Procedure:
  
  If you need to create a new sampling procedure, you can do so using transaction code QDV1 (Create Sampling Procedure) or QDV2 (Change Sampling Procedure).
  Define the sampling procedure according to your quality requirements and ensure it is saved.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  If the characteristic is linked to a material, check the material master (transaction code MM02 for changing) to ensure that the correct sampling procedure is assigned in the quality management view.
  
  
  
  Review Inspection Plan:
  
  Ensure that the inspection plan is correctly set up and that all required characteristics have valid sampling procedures assigned.
