• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MSR_INSP_MESSAGES248 - Inspection already split in EWM; use function Create Split Item again ?

  The SAP error message MSR_INSP_MESSAGES248 indicates that an inspection lot has already been split in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). This typically occurs when you attempt to split an inspection lot that has already been processed or split previously. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause
  
  Inspection Lot Already Split: The primary reason for this error is that the inspection lot you are trying to split has already been split into multiple items. EWM tracks the status of inspection lots, and once a split has occurred, the system prevents further splits to maintain data integrity.
  Incorrect Process Flow: The error may also arise if the process flow is not followed correctly, such as trying to split an inspection lot that is already in a different processing state.
  
  Solution
  
  Check Inspection Lot Status: Verify the status of the inspection lot in the system. You can do this by navigating to the inspection lot in the Quality Management (QM) module and checking its current status.
  Use Create Split Item Function: If you need to split the inspection lot again, ensure you are using the correct function to create a split item. The system may require you to follow specific steps or use a particular transaction code to perform the split.
  Review Previous Splits: If the inspection lot has been split previously, review the details of the split to understand how many items were created and their current status. This can help you determine if further action is needed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to inspection lot processing and splitting in EWM for detailed guidance on the correct procedures.
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide assistance based on your specific system configuration.
  
  Related Information
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as QA32 (for displaying inspection lots) and QA11 (for recording results) to manage inspection lots effectively.
  EWM Configuration: Ensure that your EWM configuration is set up correctly for handling inspection lots and splitting processes.
  Quality Management Integration: Understand how EWM integrates with the Quality Management module, as this can affect how inspection lots are processed and managed.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and proceed with your inspection lot processing in SAP EWM.
