• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QM649 - No EWM activity performed ?

  The SAP error message QM649 ("No EWM activity performed") typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when there is an attempt to perform a quality inspection or related activity in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system, but no corresponding EWM activity has been executed. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during the inspection lot processing or when trying to post results for a quality inspection.
  Causes:
  
  No EWM Activity: The most straightforward cause is that there has been no EWM activity related to the inspection lot. This could mean that the goods have not been moved to the inspection stock or that the necessary EWM processes have not been completed.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the integration between QM and EWM, leading to the system not recognizing the necessary activities.
  Missing Document Flow: The document flow between the QM and EWM modules may not be properly established, causing the system to not recognize the inspection lot.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the required EWM activities.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check EWM Activities: Ensure that the necessary EWM activities have been performed. This includes confirming that the goods have been moved to the inspection stock and that the relevant documents have been created in EWM.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in both QM and EWM to ensure that they are correctly set up for integration. This includes verifying the settings for inspection types, stock types, and movement types.
  Document Flow Verification: Ensure that the document flow between QM and EWM is intact. You may need to check the status of the inspection lot and see if it is correctly linked to the EWM processes.
  User Authorization: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the required actions in both QM and EWM. If not, appropriate roles and permissions should be assigned.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance on troubleshooting.
  
  Related Information:
