• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QC049 - Indicate an output strategy in case of a skip ?

  The SAP error message QC049, which states "Indicate an output strategy in case of a skip," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when dealing with inspection lots and output strategies. This error indicates that the system requires an output strategy to be defined for situations where an inspection lot is skipped.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  An inspection lot is created, and the system is set to skip certain inspection steps or processes.
  The output strategy for handling the results of these skipped steps has not been defined in the system.
  The configuration for the output determination does not include a strategy for cases where inspections are skipped.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the QC049 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Define Output Strategy:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP for Quality Management.
  Navigate to the output determination settings for inspection lots.
  Define an output strategy that specifies what should happen when an inspection is skipped. This may involve creating a new output type or modifying an existing one.
  
  
  
  Check Inspection Plan:
  
  Review the inspection plan associated with the inspection lot. Ensure that it includes the necessary output strategies for all scenarios, including skips.
  
  
  
  Maintain Output Types:
  
  Ensure that the output types are correctly maintained in the system. This includes checking the conditions under which outputs are generated and ensuring that they cover the scenario of skipped inspections.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, create a test inspection lot to verify that the error no longer occurs and that the output strategy is functioning as expected.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed guidance on configuring output strategies in Quality Management.
