      Hi,

      Kindly check and change the ‘posting proposal UD’ status for the concern 'selected set code', which is available under the node ‘Maintain catalogs for usage decisions’.

      T Code: QS51.

       

      Best Regards,

      Why didn’t you get inspection lot number with series 9 ? And I couldn’t find the steps 2 and step 5. Did you miss it ?

       

      Also it will be nice to have details & screenshotsabout scheduling a background job since that actually serves the purpose of automatic usage decision without doing anything after the results are recorded.
