• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QT231 - There are no inspection points ?

  The SAP error message QT231, which states "There are no inspection points," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when you are trying to perform an inspection lot processing or quality inspection, but the system cannot find any inspection points associated with the inspection lot.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Inspection Points Defined: The most common reason for this error is that there are no inspection points defined for the inspection lot. This can happen if the inspection plan does not have any inspection characteristics or if the characteristics are not linked to any inspection points.
  
  
  Inspection Plan Issues: The inspection plan may not be correctly set up or may not be assigned to the material or production order.
  
  
  Material Master Settings: The material master may not have the necessary quality management settings enabled, which can lead to the absence of inspection points.
  
  
  Usage Decision Not Made: If a usage decision has already been made for the inspection lot, it may not allow for further inspection points to be created.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Inspection Plan: Verify that the inspection plan associated with the material or production order has defined inspection characteristics and that these characteristics are linked to inspection points. You can do this by navigating to the inspection plan in the SAP system.
  
  
  Create or Modify Inspection Points: If there are no inspection points, you may need to create or modify the inspection points in the inspection plan. This can be done in transaction code QP01 (Create Inspection Plan) or QP02 (Change Inspection Plan).
  
  
  Review Material Master: Ensure that the material master record has the Quality Management view activated. You can check this in transaction code MM02 (Change Material) and navigate to the Quality Management tab.
  
  
  Check Inspection Lot Status: If the inspection lot has already been processed (e.g., a usage decision has been made), you may need to create a new inspection lot or reverse the previous decision if applicable.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the setup, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP QM module expert for guidance on how to properly configure inspection plans and points.
