• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QBEXT213 - Order &1: No EWM inspection document because storage location is missing ?

  The SAP error message QBEXT213 indicates that there is an issue with the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system related to the absence of a storage location for a specific order. This error typically arises when the system attempts to create an inspection document for a quality inspection but cannot find the necessary storage location information.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Storage Location: The primary cause of this error is that the storage location is not defined for the material or the order in question. This can happen if the material master data is incomplete or if the order was created without specifying a storage location.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the EWM settings or in the integration between the ERP and EWM systems.
  Master Data Issues: The material master or the related master data may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of a storage location.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and verify that the storage location is correctly defined for the relevant plant and storage location.
  Ensure that the material is set up for quality inspection and that the relevant views (such as Plant Data/Storage and Quality Management) are maintained.
  
  
  
  Verify Order Details:
  
  Check the order (e.g., production order, purchase order) to ensure that a storage location is specified. You can do this by using the relevant transaction code (e.g., CO03 for production orders, ME23N for purchase orders).
  If the storage location is missing, you may need to update the order to include the correct storage location.
  
  
  
  EWM Configuration:
  
  Review the EWM configuration settings to ensure that the integration with the ERP system is correctly set up. This includes checking the settings for quality management and inspection documents.
  Ensure that the warehouse process types and other relevant settings are correctly configured to handle quality inspections.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Developments:
