Calculating the Sample Size (SAP Library - Inspection Lot Creation (QM-IM-IL))

Calculating the Sample Size

The table and information below provides an example of how the system calculates the sample size:

Operation	Characteristic	Sampling procedure assigned?	Sample size
10	10	Yes	3 kg
	20	No	1kg
	30	Yes	5 kg
20	10	No	1 kg
20	20	Yes	2 kg

Sampling procedures are assigned to characteristics 10 and 30 in operation 10, and characteristic 20 in operation 20. The system calculates the samples for these characteristics on the basis of these sampling procedures.

For the characteristics without sampling procedures, the sample size is based on the unit of measurement defined in the material master (1 kilogram in this example).

The system checks the sample size for each characteristic and uses the largest individual sample size as the sample size for the inspection lot. In this example, the sample size for the inspection lot is taken from characteristic 30.
