• Message class: RMSA450QM - RMS: ATL QM Message Texts for QM Title Element

• Message number: 019

• Message text: Inspections are referenced although "NO_REFERNC" parameter is set

What causes this issue?

You have chosen the
NO_REFERNC - <ZK>Sets and Locks "Cancel Reference" Indic
(Inspection Chars)</> parameter
in Customizing for <ZK>Recipe Management</> in the
IMG activity <DS:SIMG.RMS_QM_10>Specify Environment Parameters</>.
This means that the <ZK>Cancel Reference</> field is locked against data
entry, but is always displayed on a value basis. As a result, the
reference to master inspection characteristics is always canceled so
that some inspection characteristic attributes (for example, tolerance
limits) are ready for input.
This setting is also expected for the recipe data that is read from the
database.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMSA450QM019 - Inspections are referenced although "NO_REFERNC" parameter is set ?

  The SAP error message RMSA450QM019 indicates that inspections are being referenced in a situation where the system is configured with the "NO_REFERNC" parameter set. This typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) processes within SAP, particularly when dealing with inspection lots or quality inspections.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system is trying to process an inspection lot or a quality inspection, but the configuration parameter "NO_REFERNC" is set to prevent referencing inspections. This can happen due to:
  
  Configuration Settings: The "NO_REFERNC" parameter is likely set in the system configuration, which indicates that inspections should not be referenced in certain processes.
  Process Flow: The process being executed is attempting to reference inspections that are not allowed due to the current configuration.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data or process flow that lead to the system attempting to reference inspections incorrectly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the Quality Management module in SAP. Specifically, check the settings related to the "NO_REFERNC" parameter.
  If inspections should be allowed, consider changing the configuration to allow referencing.
  
  
  
  Review Process Flow:
  
  Analyze the process that is triggering the error. Ensure that the process is designed to work with the current configuration.
  If necessary, adjust the process to comply with the "NO_REFERNC" setting.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Validate the data associated with the inspection lots or quality inspections. Ensure that there are no inconsistencies or errors in the data that could lead to this issue.
  Check for any existing inspection lots that may be incorrectly referenced.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on the "NO_REFERNC" parameter and its implications on inspection processes.
