• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QA026 - You have entered &1 order type - only type 01 is allowed ?

  The SAP error message QA026 indicates that you have entered an order type that is not allowed for the operation you are trying to perform. Specifically, it states that only order type "01" (which typically refers to production orders) is permitted in the context of the transaction you are executing.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Order Type: The order type you entered does not match the expected type for the transaction. For example, if you are trying to perform quality inspection on a production order, only order type "01" is valid.
  Configuration Issues: The system may be configured to only accept certain order types for specific processes, and the order type you are using does not meet those criteria.
  User Input Error: There may have been a typographical error or misunderstanding regarding which order type to use.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Order Type: Verify the order type you are trying to use. Ensure that it is indeed "01" or another valid type as per your organization's configuration.
  Review Transaction Context: Make sure you are in the correct transaction for the order type you are trying to use. If you are performing a quality inspection, ensure that it is linked to a production order.
  Consult Configuration: If you have access, check the configuration settings in the SAP system to see which order types are allowed for the specific transaction. This may require assistance from a system administrator or SAP consultant.
  Correct Input: If you find that you have entered the wrong order type, correct it to "01" or the appropriate type as per your process requirements.
