SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: M7 - Inventory Management and Physical Inventory

• Message number: 620

• Message text: The min. sample size per stratum should be equal to or greater than 30

What causes this issue?

In the field "minimum sample size per stratum", you entered a number
smaller than 30.

System Response

The extrapolation procedure is based on mean-value estimation.
A prerequisite for this is that the mean values of possible samples per
stratum form a normal distribution. This is reached with a high degree
of probability with a number of 30 elements or more. Therefore, the
system expects you to enter a number equal to or greater than 30.
