This error indicates that there are still open characteristics that need to be addressed before you can finalize the usage decision.
  Cause:
  
  Open Characteristics: The primary cause of this error is that there are one or more characteristics in the inspection lot that have not been evaluated or have not been assigned a result. In QM, characteristics are used to define the quality criteria for the inspection lot.
  Incomplete Data: The inspection lot may have incomplete data or results for certain characteristics, which prevents the system from allowing a default usage decision.

  Solution:
  
  Review Inspection Lot: Go to the inspection lot in question and review all the characteristics. Ensure that each characteristic has been evaluated and that a result has been entered.
  Complete Characteristic Results: If any characteristics are still open, complete the necessary evaluations and enter the results. This may involve entering values, passing or failing the characteristics, or providing additional comments.
  Check for Required Characteristics: Ensure that all required characteristics are addressed. If certain characteristics are optional, make sure that they are not set as mandatory in the configuration.
  Usage Decision: Once all characteristics are evaluated and results are entered, attempt to make the usage decision again.
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for further troubleshooting steps.
