• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VDM_QM_INSPECTION_BO401 - Evaluation only possible when lot origin is deliv. to cust. w/ cust. ord. ?

  The SAP error message VDM_QM_INSPECTION_BO401 indicates that an evaluation is only possible when the lot origin is related to a delivery to a customer with a customer order. This error typically arises in the context of Quality Management (QM) processes, particularly when dealing with inspection lots.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Lot Origin: The inspection lot you are trying to evaluate is not created from a delivery that is linked to a customer order. The system expects the lot to originate from a delivery that is specifically tied to a customer order.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Quality Management module that restrict evaluations based on the lot origin.
  Data Entry Errors: The data entered during the creation of the inspection lot may not meet the criteria required for evaluation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Lot Origin:

  Create Correct Inspection Lot:
  
  If the inspection lot is not linked to a customer order, you may need to create a new inspection lot from a delivery that is associated with a customer order.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you have access to configuration settings, review the settings in the Quality Management module to ensure that they allow for evaluations based on the desired lot origins. This may involve checking the settings in the Quality Info Record or the inspection lot creation settings.
