• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/QINSP068 - Entering sampling arguments is only useful for sampling procedures ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/QINSP068 Entering sampling arguments is only useful for sampling procedures typically occurs in the context of Quality Inspection (QI) processes within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the system expects sampling arguments to be entered only when a sampling procedure is being used. If you are trying to enter sampling arguments without a valid sampling procedure, the system will generate this error.
  Cause:
  
  No Sampling Procedure Defined: The error usually arises when you attempt to enter sampling arguments without having a sampling procedure defined for the inspection lot.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for quality inspection might not be set up correctly, leading to the system not recognizing the sampling procedure.
  Wrong Transaction or Context: You might be in a transaction or context where sampling arguments are not applicable.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define a Sampling Procedure: Ensure that a valid sampling procedure is defined in the system. You can do this by navigating to the Quality Management (QM) module and checking the sampling procedures.
  
  Go to the transaction code Q/03 to create or modify sampling procedures.
  Ensure that the sampling procedure is assigned to the relevant inspection plan.
  
  
  
  Check Inspection Lot: Verify that the inspection lot you are working with is set up to use a sampling procedure. You can check this in the inspection lot details.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are responsible for system configuration, review the settings in the Quality Management module to ensure that everything is set up correctly for sampling.
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction for entering sampling arguments. If you are in a transaction that does not support sampling, you will need to switch to the appropriate one.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the setup or the process, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for guidance.
