• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QF008 - Defects can only be recorded at the lot level for the current insp.lot ?

  The SAP error message QF008 indicates that defects can only be recorded at the lot level for the current inspection lot. This error typically arises in the context of quality management (QM) processes when users attempt to record defects in a manner that is not aligned with the system's requirements for inspection lot management.
  
  Cause:
  
  Inspection Lot Level Requirement: The system is designed to record defects at the inspection lot level. If you are trying to record defects at a different level (e.g., at the material level or without a specific inspection lot), the system will throw this error.
  Incorrect Transaction: The user may be using a transaction that does not support defect recording at the desired level.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Quality Management module that restrict defect recording to specific levels or types of inspection lots.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Inspection Lot: Ensure that you are working with the correct inspection lot.
