• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EG778 - Lot has already been inspected or drawn (no extension of lot possible) ?

  The SAP error message EG778 indicates that a lot has already undergone inspection or has been drawn, and therefore, it cannot be extended. This error typically arises in the context of quality management (QM) processes within SAP, particularly when dealing with inspection lots.
  Cause:
  
  Inspection Completed: The lot has already been inspected, and the results have been recorded in the system.
  Lot Drawn: The lot has been drawn for further processing or usage, which locks it from being extended.
  System Restrictions: SAP has built-in restrictions to prevent changes to lots that have already been processed to maintain data integrity and traceability.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Inspection Status: Verify the status of the inspection lot. If the inspection is complete, you cannot extend the lot.
  Review Lot Usage: If the lot has been drawn, you will need to check if it can be re-evaluated or if a new lot needs to be created.
  Create a New Lot: If you need to extend the quantity or the validity of the lot, consider creating a new inspection lot instead of trying to extend the existing one.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to your organization's quality management procedures to understand how to handle lots that have been inspected or drawn.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that might address this issue or provide additional guidance.
