• Key Concepts: 
  Subsequent random selection is a feature in SAP Inventory Management (MM-IM) that allows users to select a certain number of items from a larger group of items. This selection process is based on a random algorithm, which ensures that the selection is fair and unbiased. The selected items can then be used for further processing, such as inventory counting or stocktaking.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the subsequent random selection feature in SAP Inventory Management, users must first define the selection criteria. This includes the number of items to be selected, as well as any additional criteria such as item type or location. Once the criteria have been defined, the system will generate a list of randomly selected items that meet the criteria. The list can then be used for further processing.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using subsequent random selection, it is important to ensure that the selection criteria are accurate and up-to-date. This will ensure that the selection process is fair and unbiased, and that the selected items are relevant to the task at hand. Additionally, it is important to double-check the list of selected items before proceeding with any further processing.
