  Configuration Settings: The system settings for the storage location may not allow for inspection lot creation or quality inspections for materials stored in that location.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may not be set up to allow inspections in HU-managed storage locations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Storage Location Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage location in question. Ensure that the settings allow for quality inspections if that is required for your process.

  Use Alternative Storage Locations:
  
  If inspections are necessary and the current storage location does not support them, consider using a different storage location that is not HU-managed for the inspection process.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support:
