• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP070 - Inspection plan & & in lot size interval is not generally valid ?

  The SAP error message QP070, which states "Inspection plan & & in lot size interval is not generally valid," typically occurs in the Quality Management (QM) module when there is an issue with the inspection plan associated with a material or process. This error indicates that the inspection plan you are trying to use is not valid for the specified lot size interval.
  Cause:
  
  
  Lot Size Interval Mismatch: The inspection plan may not cover the lot size interval of the material being processed. Each inspection plan can have specific lot size intervals defined, and if the lot size of the production order or material does not fall within these intervals, the error will occur.
  
  
  Inactive Inspection Plan: The inspection plan might be inactive or not assigned correctly to the material or process.
  
  
  Missing Validity Dates: The inspection plan may have validity dates that do not encompass the current date, making it invalid for use.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the Quality Management settings that affect the validity of the inspection plan.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Inspection Plan: Go to the inspection plan in transaction code QP01 (Create Inspection Plan) or QP02 (Change Inspection Plan) and verify the lot size intervals defined. Ensure that the lot size of the material you are working with falls within these intervals.
  
  
  Adjust Lot Size: If the lot size of the production order or material does not match the intervals defined in the inspection plan, consider adjusting the lot size or creating a new inspection plan that includes the required lot size intervals.
  
  
  Activate Inspection Plan: Ensure that the inspection plan is active. If it is inactive, you can activate it in the inspection plan maintenance screen.
  
  
  Check Validity Dates: Verify the validity dates of the inspection plan. If the current date is outside the defined validity period, you may need to adjust the dates or create a new inspection plan.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the Quality Management module to ensure that everything is set up correctly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for further guidance on managing inspection plans and lot sizes.
