• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QT008 - You can only create inspection points in create mode ?

  The SAP error message QT008, "You can only create inspection points in create mode," typically occurs when you are trying to create inspection points in a mode that does not allow for their creation. This error is often encountered in the Quality Management (QM) module of SAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are in a mode that does not permit the creation of inspection points, such as display mode or change mode.
  The system is configured to restrict the creation of inspection points under certain conditions.
  You may be trying to create inspection points for a lot that is already in a status that does not allow changes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Switch to Create Mode: Ensure that you are in the correct mode to create inspection points. You should be in "Create" mode (transaction code: QA32 or QA01) when attempting to create inspection points.
  
  
  Check the Status of the Inspection Lot: Verify the status of the inspection lot you are working with. If the lot is already in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., completed or canceled), you will not be able to create inspection points.
  
  
  Review User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create inspection points. Lack of proper permissions can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings: If you have access to the configuration settings, check if there are any restrictions set up in the Quality Management module that might prevent the creation of inspection points.
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction for creating inspection points. For example, use QA01 for creating inspection lots and QA32 for managing existing lots.
  
  
  Check for System Updates or Notes: Sometimes, specific SAP notes or updates may address known issues related to this error. Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes.
