• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QS744 - No inspection method was selected ?

  The SAP error message QS744 ("No inspection method was selected") typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) processes when a user attempts to create or process a quality inspection lot, but the system cannot find a valid inspection method for the material or the inspection plan.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Inspection Method: The most common cause is that the material does not have an associated inspection method in the inspection plan.

  Plant-Specific Settings: The inspection method may not be defined for the specific plant or storage location.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Inspection Plan:
