• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QM_API_ODATA_MSG180 - Maximum number of insp. points (32768) reached (lot &1, operation &2) ?

  The SAP error message QM_API_ODATA_MSG180 indicates that the maximum number of inspection points (32,768) has been reached for a specific lot and operation in the Quality Management (QM) module. This error typically occurs when you are trying to create or process inspection points for a lot that has already reached the maximum limit.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Limit: The primary cause of this error is that the system has already created the maximum allowable number of inspection points for the specified lot and operation.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Quality Management module that allow for an excessive number of inspection points to be created.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry or processing logic that leads to the creation of too many inspection points.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Existing Inspection Points: Check the existing inspection points for the lot and operation in question. You can do this using transaction codes like QA32 or QA03 to view inspection lots and points.
  Delete Unnecessary Inspection Points: If there are inspection points that are no longer needed, consider deleting them to free up space for new ones. Be cautious with this step, as it may affect quality records.
  Adjust Configuration: If the business process allows, review the configuration settings in the QM module to see if the maximum number of inspection points can be adjusted. However, this should be done with caution and in consultation with your SAP QM consultant.
  Batch Processing: If you are processing inspection points in bulk, consider breaking them down into smaller batches to avoid hitting the limit.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this issue or provide additional guidance.
