• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QD242 - The sampling procedure can only be used for inspections with insp. points ?

  The SAP error message QD242 indicates that the sampling procedure you are trying to use is only applicable for inspections that have inspection points associated with them. This error typically arises in the context of quality management (QM) processes in SAP, particularly when dealing with inspection lots and sampling procedures.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Inspection Points: The inspection lot you are working with does not have any inspection points defined. Sampling procedures require inspection points to determine how samples are taken from the lot.
  Incorrect Configuration: The sampling procedure you are trying to use may be configured to require inspection points, but the inspection lot does not meet this requirement.
  Inspection Type: The inspection type associated with the inspection lot may not support the use of sampling procedures that require inspection points.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Inspection Points: Ensure that the inspection lot has inspection points defined. You can do this by navigating to the inspection lot in the SAP system and checking the associated inspection points.
  Modify Inspection Lot: If the inspection lot does not have inspection points, you may need to create them. This can typically be done through the inspection lot management transaction (e.g., QA32).
  Review Sampling Procedure: Verify that the sampling procedure you are using is appropriate for the inspection type and that it is configured correctly in the system.
  Change Inspection Type: If the inspection type does not support inspection points, consider changing the inspection type to one that does, if applicable.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP QM consultant to ensure that the sampling procedure and inspection points are set up correctly.
