• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/QINSP245 - Ensure there are no inspection rules with a deleted inspection type ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/QINSP245 indicates that there are inspection rules in the system that reference a deleted inspection type. This situation typically arises in the context of Quality Management (QM) within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module, where inspection types are used to define how quality inspections are conducted.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the existence of inspection rules that are still linked to an inspection type that has been deleted. This can happen if:
  
  An inspection type was deleted without first removing or updating the associated inspection rules.
  There was a change in the configuration or setup of inspection types that led to inconsistencies in the rules.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that there are no inspection rules that reference the deleted inspection type. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify the Inspection Rules:
  
  Use transaction codes like QG01 (Create Inspection Rule) or QG02 (Change Inspection Rule) to check for existing inspection rules.
  You can also use transaction SE16N to query the relevant database tables (e.g., QINSP for inspection rules) to find any rules that reference the deleted inspection type.
  
  
  
  Remove or Update Inspection Rules:
  
  If you find inspection rules that reference the deleted inspection type, you will need to either delete these rules or update them to reference a valid inspection type.
  If the inspection rules are no longer needed, you can delete them using QG02.
  If they are still needed, create new inspection types as necessary and update the rules accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for inspection types in the Quality Management module to ensure that all settings are correct and that there are no inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process that was causing the error to ensure that it no longer occurs.
