  The SAP error message "VDM_QM_INSPECTION_BO514 Results recording not possible with status 6 (charc &1, lot &2, oper. &3)" typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when trying to record results for an inspection lot that is not in a status that allows for results recording. The status code "6" indicates that the inspection lot is in a status that prohibits further processing.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the inspection lot being in a status that does not allow results recording. Common reasons for this include:
  
  The inspection lot has already been completed or closed.
  The inspection lot is in a status that is not meant for results recording (e.g., "Completed", "Cancelled", etc.).
  The inspection lot may have been set to a status due to prior processing or errors in the workflow.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Inspection Lot:

However, be cautious with this step, as changing statuses can affect the integrity of the quality process.
  
  
  
  Review Previous Steps:
