• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QA266 - No QM order is assigned to inspection lot &1 ?

  The SAP error message QA266 "No QM order is assigned to inspection lot &1" typically occurs in the Quality Management (QM) module when you attempt to perform an action on an inspection lot that does not have an associated Quality Management order. This can happen during various processes, such as when trying to record results or perform a usage decision.
  Cause:
  
  Missing QM Order: The inspection lot was created without an associated QM order. This can happen if the lot was created manually or if the relevant settings in the material master or inspection plan are not configured correctly.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the material or inspection lot may not be set up to generate a QM order.
  Inspection Lot Type: The type of inspection lot created may not require a QM order, or the system may not be configured to create one for that specific lot type.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Inspection Lot Creation: Verify how the inspection lot was created. If it was created manually, ensure that the correct settings are applied to generate a QM order.
  Review Material Master Settings: Check the material master data for the relevant material. Ensure that the Quality Management view is properly configured and that the inspection type is set up to create a QM order.
  Inspect Inspection Plan: Review the inspection plan associated with the material. Ensure that it is correctly defined and that it specifies the creation of a QM order.
  Create QM Order Manually: If necessary, you can create a QM order manually and then assign it to the inspection lot. This can be done through transaction codes like QM01 (Create QM Order) or QM02 (Change QM Order).
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP QM consultant to ensure that all configurations are correct and that the system is set up to handle QM orders as expected.
  
  Related Information:
