    The SAP error message MSR_INSP_MESSAGES168 indicates that there is an issue with splitting an inspection item in the quality management module. Specifically, the message states that an inspection item with a certain quantity cannot be split. This typically occurs during the inspection lot processing when you attempt to split an inspection item that is not eligible for splitting due to various reasons.

    Causes:

    1. Quantity Constraints: The inspection item may have a quantity that is not divisible or does not meet the criteria for splitting.
    2. Inspection Type: Certain inspection types may not allow splitting of inspection items.

    5. Batch Management: If the material is batch-managed, there may be restrictions on how batches can be split.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Quantity: Ensure that the quantity of the inspection item is appropriate for splitting. For example, if you are trying to split a quantity of 10, ensure that the split quantities are valid (e.g., 5 and 5).
    2. Review Inspection Type: Verify if the inspection type allows for splitting. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to understand the rules for the specific inspection type.
    3. Inspect Lot Status: Check the status of the inspection lot. If it is in a status that does not allow splitting, you may need to change the status or complete certain processes before attempting to split.
    4. Configuration Review: Consult with your SAP administrator or configuration team to review the settings related to inspection lot processing and splitting.
