• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MSR_INSP_MESSAGES170 - Inspection split not possible as long as subitems exist. ?

  The SAP error message MSR_INSP_MESSAGES170 indicates that an inspection lot cannot be split because there are still subitems associated with it. This typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) processes where inspection lots are used to manage and evaluate the quality of materials.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to split an inspection lot that has subitems. Subitems are usually created when there are multiple samples or parts of a lot that need to be inspected separately. The system prevents the split operation to maintain data integrity, as splitting an inspection lot with existing subitems could lead to inconsistencies in the quality management process.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Subitems: Review the inspection lot to identify any existing subitems. You can do this by navigating to the inspection lot in the SAP system and checking the details.
  
  
  Process Subitems: If there are subitems that need to be processed, you should complete the necessary actions on these subitems. This may involve:
  
  Performing the inspection for the subitems.
  Accepting or rejecting the subitems based on the inspection results.
  Deleting or closing the subitems if they are no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Split After Processing: Once all subitems have been processed (accepted, rejected, or deleted), you can attempt to split the inspection lot again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about how to process the subitems or if there are specific business rules in your organization regarding inspection lots, consult your internal documentation or reach out to your SAP QM consultant.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional guidance or updates related to this error message.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like QA32 (Display Inspection Lot) or QA01 (Create Inspection Lot) to manage inspection lots and subitems.
  Quality Management Module: Familiarize yourself with the Quality Management (QM) module in SAP, as it provides tools and processes for managing inspections, quality control, and compliance.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to perform actions on inspection lots and subitems, as restrictions may lead to errors.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully split the inspection lot as needed.
