• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QV102 - The usage decision for inspection lot & has not been made yet ?

  The SAP error message QV102 indicates that a usage decision (UD) for a specific inspection lot has not been made yet. This message typically arises in the context of quality management processes within SAP, particularly when trying to perform actions that require a usage decision to be completed first.
  Cause:
  
  Pending Usage Decision: The primary cause of this error is that the inspection lot in question has not yet had a usage decision recorded. This means that the quality inspection process is incomplete.
  Incorrect Process Flow: The user may be attempting to perform actions (like posting goods movements or transferring stock) that require a UD to be made first.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the quality management module that are not aligned with the business process, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Make a Usage Decision:
  
  Navigate to the inspection lot in question using transaction code QA32 (for collective processing) or QA11 (for single lot).
  Review the inspection results and make the appropriate usage decision (e.g., Accept, Reject, or Sample).
  After making the UD, you should be able to proceed with the subsequent actions without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Check Inspection Lot Status:
  
  Ensure that the inspection lot is in a status that allows for a usage decision to be made. If the lot is in a status that does not permit a UD, you may need to change its status.
  
  
  
  Review Process Flow:
  
  Ensure that the process flow is being followed correctly. If there are steps that have been skipped, make sure to complete them before attempting to make a UD.
