This error is related to the rounding of quantities when dealing with inspection lots and can arise in various scenarios, such as during goods receipt, quality inspection, or inventory management.

  Check Material Master Settings: Review the material master settings for the affected material. Ensure that the decimal places for the quantity are correctly defined.
  
  
  Inspect Inspection Plan: Verify the inspection plan associated with the material. Check the sample size and ensure it aligns with the expected quantities.
  
  
  Adjust Rounding Settings: If necessary, adjust the rounding settings in the configuration. This can be done in the customizing settings under Logistics Execution or Quality Management.
  
  
  Review Batch Management: If batch management is enabled, ensure that the batch characteristics and their respective quantities are correctly defined.
  
  
  Test with Different Quantities: If possible, test the process with different quantities to see if the error persists. This can help identify if the issue is specific to certain quantities.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for known issues.
