This message typically arises in the context of Quality Management (QM) processes within SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  There is an inspection lot that has not been fully processed or completed.
  The inspection lot is still open and requires action, such as results recording, usage decision, or other quality-related activities.
  The system is trying to perform an operation that is not allowed until the outstanding inspection lot is resolved.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the QV523 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Outstanding Inspection Lots:
  
  Use transaction code QA32 (for displaying inspection lots) or QA03 (for displaying inspection lot details) to identify the outstanding inspection lots.
  Review the status of the inspection lot(s) to determine what actions are required.
