This typically means that the material is not set up to undergo quality inspection processes, which can be necessary for certain business processes, especially in industries where quality control is critical.
  Cause:
  
  Material Master Settings: The material may not have been configured to be inspection-relevant in the material master record. This is often the case if the material is not intended for quality inspection or if it is a non-manufactured item.
  Quality Management Configuration: The settings in the Quality Management module may not be properly configured to include the material type or the specific material in quality inspections.

  Ensure that the "Inspection-relevant" checkbox is selected for the relevant inspection types.
  
  
  
  Update Material Master:

  Make sure to set the appropriate inspection types (e.g., 01 for goods receipt inspection, 02 for in-process inspection, etc.).
  
  
  
  Review Quality Management Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the Quality Management module (transaction code SPRO).
  Ensure that the material type is included in the settings for inspection relevance.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Team:
