• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QPMS003 - Material-only assignment is missing for inspection plan ?

  The SAP error message QPMS003, which states "Material-only assignment is missing for inspection plan," typically occurs in the Quality Management (QM) module when there is an attempt to use an inspection plan that is not properly assigned to a material. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during the creation of a quality inspection lot or when trying to execute an inspection process.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of a direct assignment of a material to the inspection plan.

  Use the Correct Inspection Plan:
  
  Ensure that you are using the correct inspection plan for the material. If there are multiple inspection plans, confirm that you are referencing the right one.
