  The SAP error message QE298, which states "No inspection plan is assigned to the inspection lot," typically occurs in the Quality Management (QM) module when an inspection lot is created without a corresponding inspection plan. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during goods receipt, production, or when performing quality inspections.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Inspection Plan: The most common cause is that there is no inspection plan assigned to the material or the specific batch being inspected.
  Incorrect Material Master Settings: The material master record may not have the necessary quality management settings configured.

  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the inspection lot creation process may not be set up correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the QE298 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Inspection Plan Assignment:
