• Key Concepts: 
  Acceptance number is a term used in SAP Quality Management (QM) to refer to the number of items that can be accepted in a batch of goods. It is used to determine the quality of a batch of goods and whether it meets the required standards. The acceptance number is calculated based on the number of items that meet the specified criteria and the total number of items in the batch. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The acceptance number is used to determine whether a batch of goods meets the required quality standards. It is calculated by dividing the number of items that meet the specified criteria by the total number of items in the batch. If the result is greater than or equal to the acceptance number, then the batch is considered to be of acceptable quality. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that all items in a batch are inspected and tested before determining its acceptance number. This will ensure that all items are accounted for and that any discrepancies are identified and addressed before determining whether or not a batch meets the required quality standards.
