• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EG349 - Number of sample devices (&1) is greater than lot size (&2 &3 &4) ?

  The SAP error message EG349 indicates that the number of sample devices specified exceeds the allowed lot size. This error typically occurs in the context of quality management processes, particularly during inspection lot creation or when performing quality inspections.
  Cause:
  
  Sample Size Configuration: The sample size defined for the inspection lot is greater than the total quantity of the lot. This can happen if the sampling procedure is incorrectly set up or if the lot size is smaller than expected.

  Inspection Plan Settings: The inspection plan may have a sampling procedure that specifies a sample size that is not appropriate for the lot size being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Lot Size: Verify the lot size of the inspection lot. Ensure that the lot size is correctly defined and matches the actual quantity of items.
  Adjust Sample Size: Modify the sample size in the inspection plan or during the inspection lot creation to ensure it does not exceed the lot size.
  Review Sampling Procedure: Check the sampling procedure associated with the inspection plan. If necessary, adjust the sampling method to align with the lot size.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring sampling procedures and inspection lots.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the inspection plan or lot size settings.
