• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_QM015 - Delivery &1/&2: &3 prohibited by inspection rule (quality reason) ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_QM015 indicates that a delivery is being blocked due to a quality inspection rule. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and quality management processes within SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when a delivery (identified by the delivery number) is subject to a quality inspection rule that prohibits the delivery from being processed. This can happen for several reasons, including:
  
  
  Quality Inspection Rules: There are specific inspection rules set up in the system that dictate when and how products should be inspected. If the delivery item falls under a rule that prohibits it from being processed, this error will occur.
  
  
  Quality Reasons: The quality reason associated with the inspection rule may indicate that the item does not meet certain quality standards or that it requires further inspection before it can be delivered.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the quality management settings or the inspection rules that lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Inspection Rules: Check the quality inspection rules that are configured in the system. You can do this by navigating to the Quality Management (QM) module and reviewing the relevant inspection plans and rules.
  
  
  Check Quality Reasons: Identify the specific quality reason associated with the error message. This can provide insight into why the delivery is being blocked. You may need to consult with your quality management team to understand the implications of the quality reason.
  
  
  Adjust Inspection Rules: If the inspection rules are too restrictive, consider adjusting them to allow for the delivery to proceed. This may involve changing the criteria for inspection or modifying the rules to allow certain deliveries to bypass inspection.
  
  
  Perform Quality Inspection: If the delivery is indeed subject to quality inspection, ensure that the necessary quality checks are performed. Once the items pass inspection, the delivery can be processed.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on managing quality inspection rules and resolving related errors.
  
  
  Engage SAP Support: If the issue persists and you are unable to resolve it, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide guidance based on your specific system configuration and business processes.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP for managing quality inspections, such as QA32 (for managing inspection lots) and QAL1 (for quality notifications).
  Quality Management Configuration: Understanding the configuration settings in the Quality Management module can help prevent similar issues in the future.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and authorizations to manage quality inspections and deliveries.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to allow the delivery to proceed.
