• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QB151 - No source inspections are required ?

  The SAP error message QB151 ("No source inspections are required") typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) processes, particularly when dealing with inspection lots and source inspections. This message indicates that the system has determined that there are no source inspections needed for the material or process in question.
  Cause:
  
  
  Inspection Type Configuration: The inspection type for the material or process may not be set up to require source inspections. This can happen if the relevant settings in the material master or the inspection plan do not specify that source inspections are necessary.
  
  
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may not have the appropriate quality management settings enabled. For example, the inspection type may not be activated for the material.
  
  
  Vendor or Purchase Order Settings: If the source inspection is linked to a specific vendor or purchase order, there may be settings that indicate that no inspections are required for that vendor or order.
  
  
  Quality Info Record: The quality info record for the vendor-material combination may not specify that source inspections are required.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Inspection Type Configuration: Review the inspection type settings in the material master and ensure that the appropriate inspection types are activated for source inspections.
  
  
  Review Material Master Settings: Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the Quality Management view. Ensure that the relevant inspection types are set up correctly.
  
  
  Inspect Vendor and Purchase Order Settings: Check the vendor master (transaction code XK03) and the purchase order (transaction code ME23N) to ensure that the settings allow for source inspections.
  
  
  Quality Info Record: Verify the quality info record (transaction code QI01) for the vendor-material combination to ensure that it specifies that source inspections are required.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If necessary, consult SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for further guidance on configuring quality management settings.
