04 inspection lot with status SPST

Question

Dear Experts,
We are using Handling Unit (HU) functionality in FG material,
1. We create HU's (say 50 HU's) using tcode COWBPACK,
2. On creation of HU, an inspection lot of type 04 is created for 50 HU's.
3. In regular scenario, we do GR of all 50 HU's using tcode COWBPACK,
4. All 50 HU's are posted in to unrestricted & UD is given using tcode QA32 & status UD SPCO.... is updated in inspection lot,
5. The HU posting in unrestricted can be happen before GR also (which observes no problem),
But in rare scenario, we need to cancel / delete the some of HU's at that time following steps are involved -
1. We create HU's (say 50 HU's) using tcode COWBPACK,
2. On creation of HU, an inspection lot of type 04 is created for 50 HU's.
3. HU posting in unrestricted is done for 45 HU's (System status SPST is updated in inspection lot),
4. Balance 5 HU's are deleted from system using tcode HUMO,
5. UD is given to inspection lot & status UD SPST.... is updated in inspection lot.
Now the problem is, after settlement & variance calculation of production order when we try to update status CLSD (Close) in production order the system give an error "Inspection lot 040000XXXXXX for order XXXXXXXX has not yet been completed" this is due to system status SPST is there instead of SPCO.
As the 5 HU's are deleted hence the stock posting can not be completed. Even we can not cancel the inspection lot due to status SPST.
Please suggest how to resolve this issue to update the status CLSD in prodction order.
Thanks in advance,
Leena.
