• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QD505 - Either enter an inspection severity or set the skip indicator ?

  The SAP error message QD505 indicates that when you are trying to create or modify an inspection lot, you have not specified an inspection severity, and the system requires this information to proceed. The inspection severity is a critical parameter that defines how the inspection results will be evaluated and what actions will be taken based on those results.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Inspection Severity: The inspection severity field is either left blank or not filled in correctly.
  Skip Indicator Not Set: If you do not want to perform an inspection, you need to set the skip indicator, which tells the system to bypass the inspection process.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the QD505 error, you can take one of the following actions:
  
  
  Enter an Inspection Severity:
  
  Navigate to the inspection lot creation or modification screen.
  Locate the field for inspection severity.
  Enter a valid inspection severity value (e.g., "1" for critical, "2" for major, "3" for minor, depending on your organization's configuration).
  
  
  
  Set the Skip Indicator:
  
  If you do not want to perform an inspection for this lot, find the skip indicator option on the screen.
  Set the skip indicator to indicate that the inspection should be skipped.
