• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/GM071 - Stock is in inspection - Posting not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/GM071 Stock is in inspection - Posting not allowed typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and inventory management within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the stock you are trying to post (e.g., during a goods movement or inventory adjustment) is currently in an inspection stock status, which prevents any postings until the inspection process is completed.
  Cause:
  
  Inspection Stock Status: The stock is marked as inspection stock, meaning it is undergoing quality inspection and cannot be moved or posted until the inspection is completed.
  Quality Management Integration: The integration with the Quality Management (QM) module may be set up to automatically place goods into inspection stock upon receipt or during other processes.
  Incomplete Inspection Process: The inspection process may not have been completed, or the results may not have been recorded in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Complete the Inspection: 
  
  Navigate to the Quality Management module and complete the inspection process for the stock in question. This may involve recording the inspection results and either accepting or rejecting the stock.
  If the stock is accepted, it can be moved to unrestricted stock, allowing for further postings.
  
  
  
  Change Stock Status:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can change the stock status from inspection stock to unrestricted stock using the appropriate transaction (e.g., using transaction code MB1B for transfer postings).
  Ensure that this action is compliant with your organization's quality control policies.
  
  
  
  Check Stock Overview:
  
  Use transaction MMBE or /SCWM/MON to check the stock overview and confirm the status of the stock. This will help you identify which stock is in inspection and needs attention.
  
  
  
  Consult with Quality Management Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the inspection process or need assistance, consult with your organization's Quality Management team to ensure that the necessary steps are followed.
