What causes this issue?

Make sure that the acceptance number determined using the assumed
percentage in percentage sampling procedures, does not exceed the
maximum value possible of 32,766.
Notes
Since the maximum print length of the fields for displaying the sample
size is limited to 8 characters, we recommend you make your settings,
so that no sample size greater than 99,999,999 is determined.
Also note, that the base quantity used in the sample determination can
be greater than the lot size as a result of conversion factors (for
example, if the sample quantity unit does not equal the base unit
measure).
