  The SAP error message SCI087 indicates that an inspection is currently in progress or has been scheduled to run in a background job. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Quality Management (QM) module, where inspections are performed on materials or processes.
  Cause:
  
  Ongoing Inspection: An inspection lot is currently being processed, which means that the system is busy with that inspection.
  Scheduled Background Job: There may be a background job that has been scheduled to run the inspection, which prevents any new inspections from being initiated until the current one is completed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Current Inspections: 
  
  Use transaction codes like QA32 or QA33 to check if there are any ongoing inspections for the material or lot in question.
  If an inspection is running, you may need to wait for it to complete.
  
  
  
  Review Background Jobs:
  
  Use transaction code SM37 to check for any scheduled or running background jobs related to inspections.
