• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QA651 - Inspection lots with origin &1 can't be extended by new operations ?

  The SAP error message QA651 indicates that you are trying to extend an inspection lot with a new operation, but the system has determined that this is not allowed for the specified inspection lot. This error typically occurs in the Quality Management (QM) module when dealing with inspection lots that have a specific origin.
  Cause:
  The error message QA651 can be triggered by several factors, including:
  
  
  Inspection Lot Origin: The inspection lot has a specific origin (e.g., production order, purchase order) that does not allow for the addition of new operations. Certain origins are restricted from being modified after creation.
  
  
  Status of the Inspection Lot: The inspection lot may be in a status that does not permit changes. For example, if the inspection lot is already completed or has been partially processed, it may not allow for new operations to be added.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The system configuration for the inspection lot type or the quality inspection process may restrict the ability to extend inspection lots with new operations.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the QA651 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Inspection Lot Origin: Review the origin of the inspection lot. If it is a type that does not allow for extensions, you may need to create a new inspection lot instead of trying to extend the existing one.
  
  
  Review Inspection Lot Status: Check the status of the inspection lot. If it is completed or in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to take appropriate actions, such as reversing the status if possible, or creating a new inspection lot.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If you have access to configuration settings, check the settings for the inspection lot type and the quality management process. Ensure that the settings allow for the addition of new operations if that is required for your business process.
  
  
  Create a New Inspection Lot: If extending the existing inspection lot is not feasible, consider creating a new inspection lot with the required operations.
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Support: If you are unsure about the specific configuration or the implications of the inspection lot origin, consult SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for assistance.
