QE038 - Details

• The SAP error message QE038 ("Results confirmation already exists for inspection unit &1") typically occurs in the Quality Management (QM) module when you attempt to confirm inspection results for an inspection lot that has already been confirmed. This means that the system has already recorded results for the specified inspection unit, and you cannot confirm results again for the same unit.
  
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Confirmation: The most common cause is that the inspection results for the inspection lot have already been entered and confirmed in the system.
  Incorrect Process Flow: The process flow may not have been followed correctly, leading to attempts to confirm results multiple times.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or settings in the system that prevent re-confirmation of results.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Confirmations: 
  
  Use transaction code QE02 (Change Inspection Lot) or QE03 (Display Inspection Lot) to check if results have already been confirmed for the inspection lot in question.
  Review the inspection lot
