This error indicates that the system has hit the limit for the number of inspection points that can be associated with a particular inspection lot or process.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Limits: The maximum number of inspection points is defined in the system configuration. If the inspection lot or the associated material has a limit set, and you attempt to create more inspection points than allowed, this error will occur.
  Inspection Plan Settings: The inspection plan associated with the material may have a predefined limit on the number of inspection points.
  Batch Size: If you are working with a large batch size, the system may automatically generate more inspection points than the configured limit.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for inspection points in the Quality Management module. You may need to adjust the maximum number of inspection points allowed.
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings in SAP: SPRO -> Quality Management -> Quality Planning -> Inspection Plans -> Define Inspection Point Control.
  
  
  Modify Inspection Plan: If the inspection plan is limiting the number of inspection points, consider modifying it to allow for more points or to better fit your needs.

  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP QM consultant to understand the specific limits and how they can be adjusted based on your business requirements.
