• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QA274 - Inspection stock available for material &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message QA274 indicates that there is inspection stock available for a specific material and batch. This message typically arises in the context of quality management (QM) processes, particularly when dealing with inspection lots and stock management.
  Cause:
  The error message QA274 is triggered when you attempt to perform an action (such as a goods movement or a stock transfer) on a material that has inspection stock available. This means that there are items in the inspection stock that have not yet been released or cleared through the quality inspection process. The system is preventing the action because it requires that all inspection stock be resolved before proceeding.
  Solution:
  To resolve the QA274 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Inspection Lots: Go to the Quality Management module and check the inspection lots associated with the material and batch in question. You can use transaction code QA03 to display the inspection lot.
  
  
  Process Inspection Lots: If there are inspection lots that are still open, you will need to either:
  
  Release the Inspection Lot: If the quality inspection has been completed and the material is acceptable, you can release the inspection lot using transaction code QA11 (for usage decision).
  Reject the Inspection Lot: If the material does not meet quality standards, you can reject the inspection lot, which will move the stock to the appropriate status (e.g., blocked stock).
  
  
  
  Check Stock Overview: Use transaction code MMBE to check the stock overview for the material and see the status of the inspection stock.
  
  
  Clear Inspection Stock: If necessary, you can clear the inspection stock by performing a stock transfer or moving the stock to unrestricted stock after the inspection lot has been processed.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the process, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP QM module expert for guidance on handling inspection lots and stock.
