• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VL171 - Status of inspection lot & / partial lot & does not allow good issue ?

  The SAP error message VL171 indicates that the status of the inspection lot or partial lot does not allow for a goods issue. This typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) processes within SAP, where goods cannot be issued until certain quality checks are completed and the inspection lot is released.
  Cause:
  
  Inspection Lot Status: The inspection lot may be in a status that does not permit goods movement. Common statuses that can prevent goods issues include "In Process," "Blocked," or "Rejected."
  Quality Inspection: The goods may be subject to quality inspection, and the inspection lot has not been released or has failed the inspection.
  Partial Lot Issues: If you are dealing with a partial lot, it may not have been fully processed or released for goods movement.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Quality Management module that restrict goods issues based on inspection lot statuses.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Inspection Lot Status: Go to the inspection lot in question and check its status. You can do this using transaction code QA03 (Display Inspection Lot). Ensure that the status allows for goods movement.
  Release Inspection Lot: If the inspection lot is still in process, you may need to complete the quality inspection and release the lot. This can be done using transaction code QA32 (Change Inspection Lot) or QA11 (Record Results).
  Correct Partial Lot Issues: If you are dealing with a partial lot, ensure that all necessary steps have been completed for that lot. You may need to process the remaining quantity or ensure that the partial lot is in a status that allows for goods movement.
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the Quality Management module to ensure that they align with your business processes. This may require assistance from a SAP QM consultant or your SAP support team.
