  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one or more of the following reasons:
  
  
  Inspection Lot Status: The stock items are associated with an inspection lot that is still open or has not been fully processed. If the inspection lot is in a status that requires further action (e.g., "In Process" or "Blocked"), the system will not allow changes to the stock.

  Stock Type: The stock type of the items may be set to a status that does not allow posting changes (e.g., blocked stock).
  
  
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the EWM or Quality Management (QM) modules that restrict posting changes for inspection-relevant stock.
