Knowing the origin is the fastest way to find out why a lot was or was not created. **Sections:** #### How to use this reference **Body:** Find the event in your process, such as a goods receipt or a delivery, and read the origin and the first thing to check. If the lot is missing, work through the check column in order. If a lot appears but follows the wrong plan, look at the origin in the lot header and compare it with the inspection type in the material master. #### How origins relate to inspection types **Body:** The origin is stored in the inspection lot and describes the process that created it. The inspection type is the setting that activates it for a material and plant. In standard setups both use the same numbers, which is why the two lists look alike. The origin also decides which movement types and documents can create lots and how stock is posted into quality inspection. **Bullets:** - Origin is a property of the lot - Inspection type activates the origin for a material - Movement types are linked to origins in customizing - Lot header shows origin and inspection type together #### Troubleshooting missing lots **Body:** Work through four checks. First, confirm that the event posted successfully. Second, read the QM view of the material in the plant that received the goods. Third, check customizing for the movement type and origin. Fourth, test with a manual lot using QA01 to prove the plan and inspection setup are correct. This sequence usually isolates whether the problem is master data, configuration or the event itself. **Bullets:** - Posting completed and document number exists - Inspection type active in the correct plant - Movement type linked to the origin - Plan with correct usage and status found **Cta:** Netray can add an AI layer over SAP QM tables so teams ask why a lot was not created and get a grounded, read only answer. Reach out if that would help your support team. **Faq:** #### Where do I see the origin of an inspection lot? **Answer:** The lot header, for example in QA03, shows the inspection lot origin and the inspection type. You can also use QA32 and add the origin to the list layout. #### Why does a manual lot use origin 89? **Answer:** Manual creation with QA01 uses the manual origin, so it does not depend on a goods movement. It is helpful for tests and ad hoc inspections. #### Can I add my own inspection lot origin? **Answer:** Yes, customizing allows custom origins, but plan this carefully. Each new origin needs inspection type settings, links to movement types and testing. Most companies reuse the standard ones. #### Do S/4HANA releases change these origins? **Answer:** The core origins remain, but details and apps differ by release. Always check your own system and release notes. ## Search terms sap inspection lot origin, sap qm inspection lot origins list, sap inspection lot origin 01, sap inspection lot origin 89, sap inspection lot not created, sap qa01 manual inspection lot, sap lot origin configuration, sap qm inspection lot creation --- Talk to an engineer: https://netray.co/contact?intent=erp_ai | Machine catalog: https://netray.co/agent/catalog.json
