• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TBA1173 - Calendars are required for entries where "MIC Usable" is selected ?

  The SAP error message TBA1173 indicates that there is a requirement for calendars to be defined for entries where the "MIC Usable" (Material Inspection Characteristics) option is selected. This error typically arises in the context of Quality Management (QM) in SAP, particularly when dealing with inspection plans and characteristics.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system expects a calendar to be associated with the inspection characteristics that are marked as "MIC Usable."

  Check the Inspection Plan:
  
  Ensure that the inspection plan is correctly set up and that all required fields are filled out.
  Make sure that the MIC is properly configured to use the calendar.
