• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QS023 - You cannot enter the sample size manually for inspection type &1 ?

  The SAP error message QS023 indicates that you are trying to manually enter a sample size for an inspection type where this action is not allowed. This typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) in SAP, particularly when dealing with inspection lots and sampling procedures.
  Cause:
  The error arises because:
  
  The inspection type you are working with is configured to use a predefined sample size rather than allowing manual entry.
  The sampling procedure associated with the inspection type may not permit manual adjustments to the sample size.
  The system settings or configuration for the inspection type may restrict manual input for sample sizes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Inspection Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the specific inspection type in transaction code SPRO.
  Navigate to Quality Management > Quality Inspection > Inspection Types and review the settings for the inspection type in question.
  Ensure that the sampling procedure allows for manual entry of sample sizes if that is your requirement.
  
  
  
  Review Sampling Procedure:
  
  Check the sampling procedure assigned to the inspection type. You can do this in transaction code QDV1 (for creating) or QDV2 (for changing).
  Ensure that the sampling procedure is set up to allow manual entry of sample sizes if needed.
  
  
  
  Use Predefined Sample Size:
  
  If the inspection type is designed to use a predefined sample size, you will need to adhere to that and not attempt to enter a sample size manually.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to Quality Management and inspection types to understand the limitations and configurations better.
