Diagnosis
In sample determination, a value was determined for the sample size,that exceeded the maximum value possible based on the numeric data type(+2 billion; 2,147,483,647 to be exact).
This error occurs:

• If the inspection lot has a lot size that is greater


• If a 100% inspection is defined in the sampling procedure for a
characteristic or an inspection procedure

• If a sample percentage rate was entered for a characteristic in the
sampling procedure or for an inspection type in the material master

Or
If in sample determination an acceptance number was determined usingthe accepted percentage rate that exceeds the maximum value possiblebased on the numeric data type.

Procedure

For the current inspection lot
Change the assigned sampling procedure or assign a different samplingprocedure to the characteristic or characteristics in the task list, sothat no value greater than the maximum possible (see above) iscalculated at sample determination.
If you defined a 100% inspection for the inspection type in thematerial master, you cancel this setting and use a manual sample or asample percentage rate.
Then recalculate the sampling determination for the affected inspectionlot using transaction QA02 "Change inspection lot".

For future inspection lots:
If you need to inspect a 100% of the lot size as the sample size,ensure that the lot size does not exceed the maximum value possible.
Make sure that the acceptance number determined using the assumedpercentage in percentage sampling procedures, does not exceed themaximum value possible of 32,766.

Notes
Since the maximum print length of the fields for displaying the samplesize is limited to 8 characters, we recommend you make your settings,so that no sample size greater than 99,999,999 is determined.
Also note, that the base quantity used in the sample determination canbe greater than the lot size as a result of conversion factors (forexample, if the sample quantity unit does not equal the base unitmeasure).
