Symptom
You assign an inspection plan to an inspection lot.
Then you check the inspection characteristics of the inspection lot and find they are different from the ones in the inspection plan.

Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Cause
The inspection characteristics are different because the inspection plan you want to assign has multiple versions and you assign a wrong version to the inspection lot.
When assigning the inspection plan, there is a "Key Date" field on the screen which means the date on which an inspection plan is valid:
If an inspection plan has been changed, then it will have different versions with different valid periods. If you enter a date beyond the valid period in the field, a wrong version of the inspection plan will be assigned to the inspection lot and the characteristics may be different from the current ones that you want to use.
Resolution
Enter the right key date when assigning the inspection plan to the inspection lot.
