• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/QUI_INSPDOC067 - Externally distributed insp. document &1 should not be decided directly ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/QUI_INSPDOC067 indicates that there is an issue with the handling of an externally distributed inspection document in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, the message states that the inspection document should not be decided directly, which typically means that the system expects a certain process to be followed before making a decision on the inspection document.
  Cause:
  
  External Distribution: The inspection document is marked as externally distributed, meaning it is linked to an external process or system. This could be due to integration with other SAP modules or third-party systems.
  Process Flow Violation: The system is designed to enforce a specific workflow for handling inspection documents. Directly deciding on an externally distributed inspection document may violate this workflow.
  Configuration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the EWM or Quality Management (QM) module that dictate how inspection documents should be processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Follow the Correct Workflow: Ensure that you are following the correct process for handling the inspection document. This may involve:
  
  Completing any prerequisite steps in the inspection process.
  Using the appropriate transaction codes or functions to process the inspection document.
  
  
  Check Integration Settings: If the inspection document is linked to an external system, verify that the integration settings are correctly configured. This may involve checking the settings in both SAP EWM and the external system.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation related to inspection documents and the specific processes for handling externally distributed documents. This may provide insights into the expected workflow.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot determine the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They may provide specific guidance based on your system configuration and version.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM and QM that are used for managing inspection documents, such as /SCWM/INSPDOC for inspection documents.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message or the handling of inspection documents in EWM. SAP Notes often contain fixes or workarounds for known issues.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to make the decision on the inspection document has the necessary authorizations to perform the action.
