• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QM_API_ODATA_MSG211 - Usage decision for inspection lot &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message QM_API_ODATA_MSG211 indicates that a usage decision (UD) for a specific inspection lot does not exist. This error typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation related to an inspection lot in the Quality Management (QM) module, but the system cannot find a usage decision associated with that lot.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Usage Decision Made: The most common cause is that a usage decision has not been made for the specified inspection lot. This means that the inspection lot has not been evaluated, and therefore, there is no UD recorded in the system.
  
  
  Incorrect Inspection Lot Number: The inspection lot number provided may be incorrect or does not exist in the system.
  
  
  Data Synchronization Issues: If there are issues with data synchronization between different systems (e.g., between SAP and an external system), it may lead to this error.

  Check Inspection Lot Status: Verify the status of the inspection lot in the system. You can do this by navigating to the inspection lot in the QM module and checking if a usage decision has been made.
  
  
  Create a Usage Decision: If no usage decision exists, you will need to create one. This can be done using transaction code QA11 (for recording a usage decision) or through the appropriate OData service if you are using an API.
  
  
  Verify Inspection Lot Number: Ensure that the inspection lot number you are using is correct. You can search for the inspection lot using transaction code QA03 (Display Inspection Lot) to confirm its existence.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify the usage decision for the inspection lot. You may need to consult with your SAP security team if there are authorization issues.
