  The SAP error message "06896 RFQs cannot be issued for all items for quality reasons" typically occurs when there are quality-related issues with the items in a Request for Quotation (RFQ). This message indicates that the system has identified that certain items cannot be included in the RFQ due to quality management settings or conditions.
  Causes:
  
  Quality Management Settings: The items may be subject to quality inspection, and the system is configured to prevent RFQs from being issued for items that do not meet certain quality criteria.
  Material Status: The material status of the items may be set to a value that restricts their use in RFQs (e.g., "Blocked" or "Quality Inspection").
  Quality Inspection Lot: There may be existing quality inspection lots for the items that are not yet cleared, preventing them from being included in the RFQ.
  Vendor Selection: The system may have restrictions on which vendors can be selected based on quality ratings or other criteria.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Material Status: Review the material status of the items in question. If the status is blocking RFQ issuance, consider changing it to a status that allows RFQs.
  Review Quality Inspection Lots: Check if there are any open quality inspection lots for the items. If so, resolve any outstanding issues or clear the inspection lots.
  Quality Management Configuration: Review the quality management settings in the system to ensure they are configured correctly for the items you are trying to include in the RFQ.
  Consult with Quality Management Team: If you are unsure about the quality-related settings, consult with your organization's quality management team to understand the implications of the current settings and any necessary changes.
  Item Master Data: Verify the item master data for any quality-related fields that may be affecting the RFQ process.
