• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QV212 - Posting to sample allowed only up to a lot size of & ?

  The SAP error message QV212 ("Posting to sample allowed only up to a lot size of &") typically occurs in the context of quality management (QM) when dealing with sample management and inspection lots. This error indicates that the system is preventing a posting because the lot size exceeds the maximum allowed for sampling.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when you attempt to post a sample quantity that exceeds the predefined lot size limit for sampling in the quality inspection process. This limit is set in the configuration of the quality management module and is intended to ensure that only a manageable quantity of items is sampled for inspection.
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Lot Size Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for sampling in the quality management module. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration path in SAP:
  
  SPRO ? Quality Management ? Quality Inspection ? Inspection Lot Creation ? Define Sampling Procedure.
  
  
  Ensure that the sampling procedure allows for the lot size you are trying to post.
  
  
  
  Adjust Lot Size:
  
  If the lot size you are trying to post exceeds the allowed limit, you may need to adjust the lot size of the inspection lot or the sampling procedure to ensure compliance with the defined limits.
  
  
  
  Review Inspection Lot:
  
  Check the details of the inspection lot you are working with. Ensure that the lot size is within the acceptable range for sampling as defined in the sampling procedure.
  
  
  
  Modify Sampling Procedure:
  
  If necessary, you can modify the sampling procedure to allow for larger lot sizes, but be cautious as this may have implications for your quality control processes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on sampling procedures and lot size configurations.
