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.

Why didn’t you get inspection lot number with series 9 ? And I couldn’t nd 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.
