• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QM028 - Enter a production order or a production version ?

  The SAP error message QM028 ("Enter a production order or a production version") typically occurs in the Quality Management (QM) module when you are trying to create or process a quality inspection lot without specifying a production order or a production version. This error is common in scenarios where quality inspections are linked to production processes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Production Order: The system requires a production order to be specified for the quality inspection lot, but none has been provided.
  Missing Production Version: If the inspection lot is related to a production version, and it is not specified, the system will throw this error.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings in the QM module may not be set up correctly to allow for the creation of inspection lots without a production order or version.
  Data Entry Error: The user may have overlooked entering the required fields in the transaction.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter a Production Order: When creating or processing the inspection lot, ensure that you enter a valid production order number. This can usually be done in the relevant transaction (e.g., QA01 for creating inspection lots).
  
  
  Enter a Production Version: If applicable, provide a production version that corresponds to the material being inspected. This can be done in the same transaction where you are creating the inspection lot.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the QM module to ensure that the system is set up to allow for the creation of inspection lots. This may involve checking the settings for inspection types and their dependencies on production orders or versions.
