• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QS006 - Automatic release is possible only when an order is required ?

  The SAP error message QS006 ("Automatic release is possible only when an order is required") typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when trying to perform an automatic release of a quality inspection lot. This error indicates that the system is unable to automatically release the inspection lot because there is no corresponding production order or sales order that requires the inspection.
  Cause:
  
  No Order Requirement: The inspection lot is not linked to any production order or sales order. Automatic release is only applicable when there is a requirement for the inspection lot, which is usually tied to a specific order.
  Inspection Type Configuration: The inspection type may not be configured to allow for automatic release under the current circumstances.
  Quality Management Settings: The settings in the Quality Management module may not be correctly set up to allow for automatic release based on the current business process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Order Assignment: Ensure that the inspection lot is linked to a valid production order or sales order. If it is not, you may need to create or assign an appropriate order.
  Review Inspection Lot Characteristics: Verify the characteristics of the inspection lot to ensure that it meets the criteria for automatic release.
  Inspect Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings for the inspection types in the Quality Management module. Ensure that the settings allow for automatic release when there is an order requirement.
  Manual Release: If automatic release is not possible, consider manually releasing the inspection lot if it meets the quality criteria.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific configuration settings related to your version of SAP.
