• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/GM074 - Stock is in inspection - Cannot change availability group ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/GM074 Stock is in inspection - Cannot change availability group typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when you attempt to change the availability group of stock that is currently in an inspection stock status. This means that the stock is being evaluated for quality and cannot be moved to a different availability group until the inspection process is completed.
  Cause:
  
  Inspection Stock: The stock is currently in an inspection status, which means it is being evaluated for quality control.
  Availability Group Change: You are trying to change the availability group of stock that is not allowed while it is in inspection status.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Complete the Inspection Process:
  
  Check the status of the inspection process for the stock in question.
  If the inspection is still ongoing, you will need to complete it. This may involve confirming the inspection results and moving the stock to a different status (e.g., unrestricted stock or blocked stock).
  
  
  
  Change the Availability Group After Inspection:
  
  Once the inspection is complete and the stock is no longer in inspection status, you can then proceed to change the availability group as needed.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  You can use transaction codes like QA32 (for quality inspection) to check the status of the inspection lots.
  If necessary, use MIGO or LT03 to perform stock movements after the inspection is complete.
  
  
  
  Check Stock Overview:
  
  Use the stock overview (transaction code MMBE) to see the current status of the stock and confirm that it is no longer in inspection.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Quality Management (QM): This error is closely related to the Quality Management module in SAP, which handles inspection lots and quality control processes.
  Stock Types: Familiarize yourself with different stock types in SAP, such as unrestricted stock, blocked stock, and inspection stock, to better understand how stock movements work.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform stock movements and changes in availability groups.
  
  If you continue to face issues after following these steps, it may be helpful to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP documentation for further troubleshooting.
