• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06891 - & items should not be delivered until after quality release date ?

  The SAP error message 06891, which states that "items should not be delivered until after quality release date," typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) processes within SAP. This error indicates that the items in question are subject to quality inspection and cannot be delivered until they have passed the quality inspection process.
  Cause:
  
  Quality Inspection Required: The items are linked to a quality inspection lot that has not yet been released. This means that the quality control process is still ongoing, and the items cannot be delivered until they have been approved.
  Quality Release Date: The system checks the quality release date, and if the current date is before this date, the error will be triggered.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration in the material master or inspection plan may require that items undergo quality inspection before they can be delivered.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Complete Quality Inspection: Ensure that the quality inspection process is completed. This involves:
  
  Checking the status of the quality inspection lot.
  Performing the necessary inspections and recording the results.
  Releasing the inspection lot if the items pass the quality checks.
  
  
  
  Adjust Quality Release Date: If the quality release date is set incorrectly, you may need to adjust it in the system to allow for delivery. This can be done by:
  
  Accessing the relevant material or inspection lot in SAP.
  Modifying the quality release date if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Settings: Check the material master settings to ensure that the quality management settings are configured correctly. This includes:
  
  Verifying the inspection type and its settings.
  Ensuring that the material is set up for quality inspection if required.
  
  
  
  Consult with Quality Management Team: If you are unsure about the quality inspection process or the implications of releasing items, consult with your organization's quality management team for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as QA32 (for managing inspection lots) or MM03 (to view material master data) to investigate the issue further.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines on quality management processes for more detailed procedures.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform quality inspections and make changes to the quality release dates.
