• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN161 - HU has no inspection document ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN161 HU has no inspection document typically occurs in the context of handling units (HUs) in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the handling unit you are trying to process does not have an associated inspection document, which is required for certain operations, such as quality inspections.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Inspection Document: The handling unit (HU) you are trying to work with has not been assigned an inspection document. This can happen if the HU was created without a quality inspection being triggered.
  Incorrect Configuration: The system may not be configured correctly to generate inspection documents for certain processes or materials.
  Process Flow Issues: The process flow may not have included the necessary steps to create an inspection document for the handling unit.
  
  Solution:
  
  Create Inspection Document: If the handling unit requires an inspection document, you can manually create one. This can typically be done through the quality management (QM) module in SAP.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in SAP EWM and QM to ensure that inspection documents are generated as expected. This includes checking:
  
  Quality inspection settings for the material.
  Inspection types and their assignment to the relevant processes.
  
  
  Review Process Flow: Ensure that the process flow for the handling unit includes the necessary steps to create an inspection document. This may involve reviewing the inbound delivery process or other relevant processes.
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like QA32 (for displaying inspection lots) or QA01 (for creating inspection lots) to manage inspection documents.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling units and inspection documents in your version of SAP EWM.
