• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/GM075 - Stock is in inspection - Cannot change stock category ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/GM075 Stock is in inspection - Cannot change stock category typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when you attempt to change the stock category of a material 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 stock category until the inspection process is completed.
  Cause:
  
  Inspection Stock Status: The stock is currently in an inspection status, which means it is subject to quality checks and cannot be moved to another stock category (e.g., unrestricted stock, blocked stock).
  Quality Management (QM) Integration: If your system is integrated with Quality Management, the stock may be in a state where it is awaiting inspection results.
  Stock Movement Restrictions: SAP enforces rules that prevent changes to stock categories when the stock is in certain statuses to maintain data integrity and compliance with quality control processes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Complete the Inspection Process:
  
  If the stock is in inspection, you need to complete the inspection process. This typically involves:
  
  Performing the quality inspection.
  Recording the results of the inspection.
  Depending on the results, either accepting the stock into unrestricted stock or moving it to blocked stock.
  
  
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes such as QA32 (for displaying inspection lots) or QA11 (for recording inspection results) to manage the inspection process.
  
  
  
  Check Stock Status:
  
  Verify the current stock status using transaction codes like LX03 (for stock overview) or MB52 (for stock overview by material) to ensure you are aware of the stock's current state.
  
  
  
  Consult with Quality Management Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the inspection process or how to proceed, consult with your Quality Management team or the person responsible for quality control in your organization.
  
  
  
  Change Stock Category After Inspection:
  
  Once the inspection is complete and the stock is either accepted or rejected, you can then proceed to change the stock category as needed.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Quality Management Integration: If your organization uses Quality Management (QM) in conjunction with EWM, ensure that you understand the processes and workflows involved in managing inspection lots.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more detailed information on managing inspection stock and stock categories in EWM.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform stock movements and manage inspection lots.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully change the stock category once the inspection process is complete.
