• Key Concepts: 
  Inspection sample is a term used in SAP Warehouse Management (LE-WM). It is a process of randomly selecting a certain number of items from a larger group of items for quality control purposes. The inspection sample is used to check the quality of the items and to ensure that they meet the required standards. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Inspection samples can be created in SAP Warehouse Management by using the “Create Inspection Sample” transaction. This transaction allows users to select the items that need to be inspected and specify the number of items that need to be inspected. Once the inspection sample is created, it can be used to perform quality control checks on the selected items. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an inspection sample, it is important to select the right number of items for inspection. Too few items may not provide an accurate representation of the quality of the entire group, while too many items may be time consuming and costly. It is also important to ensure that the items selected for inspection are representative of the entire group.
