• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_QA006 - TMS QA procedure is active in &1; no QA possible ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_QA006 indicates that the Transport Management System (TMS) Quality Assurance (QA) procedure is active in the specified system (denoted by &1), which prevents the transport request from being processed in the QA system. This is a safeguard to ensure that changes are properly validated before being moved to production.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The TMS QA procedure is enabled in the target system (e.g., QA or testing environment).
  A transport request is being moved to the QA system, but the QA procedure requires that certain checks or validations be performed before the transport can be accepted.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check TMS Configuration:
  
  Go to the TMS configuration in the SAP system.
  Verify if the QA procedure is indeed active for the target system. You can do this by navigating to the TMS configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Request:
  
  Ensure that the transport request you are trying to import into the QA system is complete and does not have any issues.
  Check if the transport request is in the correct status (e.g., released).
  
  
  
  Disable QA Procedure (if appropriate):
  
  If you determine that the QA procedure is not needed for the current transport, you can disable it temporarily. However, this should be done with caution and typically requires authorization.
  To disable the QA procedure, you can use transaction STMS and navigate to the Transport Routes. From there, you can adjust the settings for the QA system.
  
  
  
  Perform QA Checks:
  
  If the QA procedure is necessary, ensure that all required QA checks are performed before attempting to import the transport request again.
  This may involve running specific QA transactions or processes defined in your organization’s transport management strategy.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines regarding the TMS QA procedure for any specific steps or requirements that need to be followed.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, especially if this is a recurring problem.
