• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QS050 - You cannot define the sample for inspection type &1 manually ?

  The SAP error message QS050, which states "You cannot define the sample for inspection type &1 manually," typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) when trying to manually define a sample for a specific inspection type that does not allow for manual sample definition.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Inspection Type Configuration: The inspection type you are trying to use is configured in such a way that it does not allow for manual sample determination. This is common for certain inspection types that are set to use automatic sampling procedures.
  
  
  Sample Size Settings: The sample size for the inspection type may be defined in a way that it is not intended to be overridden or manually adjusted.
  
  
  Quality Management Settings: The overall quality management settings in the system may restrict manual sample definition for specific inspection types.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the QS050 error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Inspection Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the specific inspection type in transaction code SPRO.
  Navigate to Quality Management > Quality Inspection > Define Inspection Types.
  Review the settings for the inspection type in question and ensure that it is set up to allow manual sample determination if that is your intention.
  
  
  
  Review Sample Size Settings:
  
  Check the sample size settings for the inspection type. If the sample size is defined as fixed or automatic, you may need to adjust it to allow for manual entry.
  
  
  
  Use Automatic Sample Determination:
  
  If the inspection type is designed to use automatic sample determination, consider using the automatic process instead of trying to define the sample manually.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific inspection type and its configuration to understand the intended use and limitations.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:

  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as QA01 (Create Inspection Lot), QA02 (Change Inspection Lot), and QA03 (Display Inspection Lot) to understand how inspection lots are created and managed.
  Quality Management Module: Understanding the broader context of the Quality Management module in SAP can help in troubleshooting and configuring inspection types effectively.
  User Exits and BAdIs: In some cases, user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) may be implemented that affect how samples are determined. Check if any custom logic is impacting the behavior.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the QS050 error and configure your inspection types appropriately.
