• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QIE_INSP_DOCUMENT034 - Primary sample was created, because sample size is greater than lot size ?

  The SAP error message QIE_INSP_DOCUMENT034 indicates that a primary sample was created because the sample size specified for inspection is greater than the lot size. This situation typically arises in the context of quality management (QM) in SAP, particularly during the creation of inspection lots for quality inspections.
  Cause:
  
  Sample Size Greater than Lot Size: The primary cause of this error is that the sample size defined in the inspection plan or during the inspection lot creation exceeds the total quantity of the lot. For example, if you have a lot size of 100 units and you specify a sample size of 150 units, SAP will trigger this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the inspection plan or the sampling procedure that leads to an incorrect sample size being calculated or specified.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors when creating the inspection lot or defining the sample size can also lead to this issue.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Sample Size: Check the sample size defined in the inspection plan or during the inspection lot creation. Ensure that it is less than or equal to the lot size.
  Adjust Lot Size: If the lot size is indeed smaller than the required sample size, consider adjusting the lot size if possible, or reduce the sample size to fit within the lot size.
  Inspect Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the inspection plan and sampling procedures in SAP. Ensure that they are set up correctly to avoid such discrepancies.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly set up inspection lots and sampling procedures.
  User Training: Ensure that users involved in creating inspection lots are trained on the correct procedures and understand the implications of sample sizes relative to lot sizes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Inspection Plans: Understand how inspection plans are created and how sample sizes are determined based on the lot size.
  Quality Management Module: Familiarize yourself with the QM module in SAP, including how inspection lots are created and managed.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling sample sizes and lot sizes.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as QA01 (Create Inspection Lot), QA02 (Change Inspection Lot), and QA03 (Display Inspection Lot) for managing inspection lots.
  
  By addressing the root cause of the error and ensuring proper configuration and data entry practices, you can resolve the issue and prevent it from occurring in the future.
