SAP Message QY309 - Total size of all physical samples is greater than the lot size

Diagnosis
The total quantity of all primary samples calculated by the system isgreater than the inspection lot quantity.
This problem can only occur if:

  • The system uses several sample-drawing items in the sample-drawing
  • procedure to calculate the physical samples.
    • The sum of the primary samples for one sample-drawing item are
    • smaller that the lot quantity, but the sum of the primary samples forall sample-drawing items are greater than the lot quantity.
      If the system finds only one sample-drawing item to calculate thephysical samples and it determines that the total quantity of thephysical samples for the sample-drawing item exceeds the lot quantity,it reduces the number of physical samples to a single primary sample.The system defines the size of the primary sample to match theinspection lot quantity.

      Procedure
      Make sure a valid task list exists for the material. The task list musthave a sample-drawing procedure assigned to it, which has only oneapplicable sample-drawing item.

      • If the inspection lot was created automatically, you can use the
      • transaction to change an inspection lot to retrigger the sample andphysical-sample calculation. You must select an appropriate inspectionplan for the inspection lot as described above.
        • If you are creating the inspection lot manually, save the
        • inspection lot before you call up the function to change the inspectionlot as described in the item above (automatic inspection lot creation).
