• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EG388 - For lot &1 you can only choose sample devs and sp. samp. devs of 1st drwg ?

  The SAP error message EG388 typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) when dealing with inspection lots and sampling procedures. This error indicates that for the specified inspection lot (lot &1), you can only select sample deviations and special sample deviations that are associated with the first drawing.
  Cause:
  
  
  Sampling Procedure Configuration: The sampling procedure assigned to the inspection lot may be configured to only allow certain types of sample deviations or special sample deviations. If the inspection lot is linked to a specific drawing, it may restrict the options available for sampling.
  
  
  Inspection Lot Characteristics: The characteristics of the inspection lot may not align with the allowed sample deviations. This can happen if the lot is created based on a specific drawing that has predefined sampling rules.
  
  
  Quality Management Settings: There may be settings in the quality management module that restrict the selection of sample deviations based on the drawing or the type of inspection.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Sampling Procedure: Review the sampling procedure assigned to the inspection lot. Ensure that it allows for the selection of the desired sample deviations. You may need to modify the sampling procedure if it is too restrictive.
  
  
  Review Inspection Lot Characteristics: Verify the characteristics of the inspection lot and ensure they are correctly set up. If the lot is linked to a specific drawing, check the associated sampling rules.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or configuration guides for quality management to understand the specific rules and settings that apply to sampling procedures and inspection lots.
  
  
  Adjust Inspection Lot Creation: If the inspection lot was created incorrectly, consider recreating it with the appropriate settings that align with the desired sampling procedures.
