• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QA083 - Material doc. cancellation not possible since insp. stock transferred ?

  The SAP error message QA083 indicates that a material document cancellation is not possible because the inspection stock has been transferred. This typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) processes within SAP, where materials are subject to inspection before they can be used in production or sold.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to cancel a material document (such as a goods receipt) for a material that has already had its inspection stock transferred to unrestricted stock or another stock type. The system prevents the cancellation because it would disrupt the integrity of the inventory and quality management processes.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Inspection Stock Status: Verify the status of the inspection stock for the material in question. You can do this by using transaction code MB52 or MB5T to view stock levels.
  
  
  Transfer Stock Back: If the inspection stock has been transferred to unrestricted stock, you may need to reverse that transfer. This can be done using transaction code MB1B (Transfer Posting) or MIGO (Goods Movement) to move the stock back to inspection stock.
  
  
  Cancel the Material Document: Once the stock is back in inspection stock, you can attempt to cancel the material document again using transaction code MBST (Cancel Material Document).
  
  
  Check for Open Inspection Lots: Ensure that there are no open inspection lots associated with the material. If there are, you may need to complete or cancel those inspection lots before proceeding.
  
  
  Consult with Quality Management Team: If you are unsure about the implications of reversing stock or canceling inspection lots, consult with your quality management team or SAP support team to ensure compliance with your organization's processes.
