• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QS112 - Status change not allowed here ?

  The SAP error message QS112 ("Status change not allowed here") typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when you attempt to change the status of a quality notification or inspection lot in a way that is not permitted by the system's current configuration or the status of the object.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Status Transition: The status you are trying to set is not allowed from the current status of the notification or inspection lot. Each status has defined permissible transitions.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the status of the object.
  System Configuration: The status management configuration in the system may not allow the desired status change due to business rules or settings.
  Object Locking: The object may be locked by another user or process, preventing any status changes.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Status Transition: Review the allowed status transitions for the specific object type (e.g., quality notification, inspection lot) in the system. Ensure that the status you are trying to set is valid from the current status.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to change the status. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles.
  Consult Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, check the status management settings for the relevant object type. You may need to consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to understand the rules in place.
  Unlock the Object: If the object is locked, identify the user or process that has locked it and resolve the locking issue. This may involve waiting for the other user to complete their task or contacting them to release the lock.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use relevant transaction codes (like QM notifications or inspection lots) to navigate to the object and check its current status and possible actions.
