• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB193 - Field &1: &2 is not a measurement ?

  The SAP error message:
  W_CB193 Field &1: &2 is not a measurement
  typically occurs in the context of SAP Quality Management (QM) or Plant Maintenance (PM) modules when dealing with inspection characteristics or measurement documents.
  
  Cause
  This warning message indicates that the field (represented by &1) with the value &2 is expected to be a measurement characteristic but is not recognized as such in the system. In other words, the system expects a measurement characteristic (a characteristic that can hold measured values), but the characteristic or field provided is not defined or flagged as a measurement characteristic.
  Common causes include:
  
  The characteristic used in the inspection lot or measurement document is not defined as a measurement characteristic in the master data.
  The characteristic might be defined as a classification or text characteristic rather than a measurement characteristic.
  Incorrect or inconsistent configuration in the inspection plan or task list.
  Data entry error where a non-measurement characteristic is entered in a field expecting a measurement.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this warning:
  
  
  Check the Characteristic Definition:
  
  Go to transaction QS21 (Change Inspection Characteristic).
  Verify that the characteristic (&2) is defined as a measurement characteristic.
  Ensure the characteristic has the appropriate data type (e.g., numeric, with defined upper and lower limits).
  
  
  
  Check Inspection Plan or Task List:
  
  Verify that the inspection plan or task list uses the correct characteristics.
  Make sure the characteristic is assigned properly and is expected to be a measurement.
  
  
  
  Review Data Entry:
  
  Confirm that the data entered corresponds to a measurement characteristic.
  If the field is supposed to accept a measurement, ensure the correct characteristic is selected.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration if Needed:
  
  If the characteristic is not meant to be a measurement, adjust the process or data entry to use the correct characteristic type.
  If the characteristic should be a measurement, update its definition accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Integration Points:
  
  If the error occurs during data transfer or interface processing, verify that the mapping and data types are consistent.
