• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QA072 - Samp. calculation can't be reset because of the status of mat. sample &1 ?

  The SAP error message QA072 indicates that a sample calculation cannot be reset due to the status of the material sample. This typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) within SAP, where samples are taken for inspection and their statuses are managed.
  Cause:
  The error message QA072 is triggered when you attempt to reset a sample calculation, but the status of the material sample does not allow for this action. Common reasons for this include:
  
  Sample Status: The sample may be in a status that does not permit resetting, such as "Completed," "In Process," or "Blocked."
  Inspection Lot Status: The inspection lot associated with the sample may also be in a status that prevents changes.

If the status is not appropriate for resetting, you may need to change it or wait until it is eligible for modification.
  
  
  Review Inspection Lot: Check the status of the associated inspection lot. If the inspection lot is completed or has been processed, you may need to take additional steps to change its status before resetting the sample calculation.
