• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QIE_CUSTOMIZING_API010 - No inspection stage selected as the initial inspection stage ?

  The SAP error message QIE_CUSTOMIZING_API010 indicates that there is no inspection stage selected as the initial inspection stage in the quality management (QM) module. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or process a quality inspection lot, and the system cannot determine which inspection stage to use as the starting point.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Initial Inspection Stage: The primary cause of this error is that the configuration for the inspection plan does not have an initial inspection stage defined. This can happen if the inspection plan is incomplete or incorrectly set up.
  Incorrect Configuration: The inspection stages may not be properly configured in the quality management settings, leading to the system being unable to identify a valid starting point for the inspection process.
  Inspection Plan Issues: The inspection plan might not be assigned correctly to the material or might be missing altogether.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Inspection Plan:
  
  Go to the transaction code QP01 (Create Inspection Plan) or QP02 (Change Inspection Plan).
  Verify that the inspection plan for the relevant material has been created and is active.
  Ensure that there is at least one inspection stage defined and that one of them is marked as the initial inspection stage.
  
  
  
  Define Initial Inspection Stage:
  
  In the inspection plan, ensure that one of the inspection stages is set as the initial stage. This can usually be done by selecting the appropriate stage and marking it as the initial stage in the configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master:
  
  Check the material master record (transaction code MM02) to ensure that the quality management view is properly maintained and that the correct inspection plan is assigned to the material.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  If you have access to configuration settings, navigate to the Quality Management settings in SPRO (transaction code SPRO).
  Ensure that the settings for inspection stages and inspection plans are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to create or process the inspection lot again to see if the error persists.
