• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QA282 - Manual lots cannot be used for origin & ?

  The SAP error message QA282 ("Manual lots cannot be used for origin &") typically occurs in the Quality Management (QM) module when there is an attempt to use a manual lot in a context where it is not allowed. This error is often related to the handling of inspection lots and the origin of those lots.
  Cause:
  
  Manual Lot Creation: The error indicates that the system is trying to use a manual lot (a lot created manually rather than automatically through a production process) in a situation where it is not permitted. This can happen if the lot is not properly configured or if the system settings do not allow manual lots for the specified origin.
  Lot Origin Configuration: The lot origin may not be set up to accept manual lots. In SAP, different origins (like production, purchase, etc.) have specific rules regarding the types of lots that can be used.
  Quality Inspection Process: The quality inspection process may require lots to be created automatically based on certain criteria, and manual lots do not meet these criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Lot Origin Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the lot origin in the SAP system. Ensure that the origin you are trying to use allows for manual lots. This can typically be done in the customizing settings under Quality Management.
  Use Automatic Lots: If the process requires automatic lots, consider creating the inspection lot automatically through the relevant production or procurement processes instead of manually.
  Review Inspection Lot Creation: Ensure that the inspection lot is being created correctly and that the parameters set for the lot creation are appropriate for the type of lot you are trying to use.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the configuration of lot origins and the types of lots allowed for each origin.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot find a resolution, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if this is a critical issue affecting business processes.
