• Key Concepts: 
  Material Inspection is a component of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. It is used to manage the inspection process for materials that are received from suppliers. It allows users to define inspection plans, create inspection lots, and record inspection results.
  
  How to use it: 
  Material Inspection can be used to create inspection plans for incoming materials. These plans can be based on material characteristics, supplier information, or other criteria. Once an inspection plan is created, users can create inspection lots and assign them to the plan. The inspection lots can then be used to record the results of the inspections.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an inspection plan, it is important to consider the type of material being inspected and the supplier's quality standards. This will help ensure that the plan is tailored to the specific needs of the material and supplier. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included in the inspection lot so that accurate results can be recorded.
