• Key Concepts: 
  Acceptance sampling inspection is a quality management process used in SAP QM to determine whether a batch of goods meets the required quality standards. It involves taking a sample of the goods and testing them against predetermined criteria. If the sample meets the criteria, the entire batch is accepted; if not, it is rejected. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP QM, acceptance sampling inspection is used to ensure that goods meet the required quality standards before they are shipped to customers. The process begins with setting up acceptance sampling plans, which define the criteria for acceptance or rejection of a batch of goods. Once the sampling plan is set up, samples are taken from each batch and tested against the criteria. If the sample meets the criteria, the entire batch is accepted; if not, it is rejected. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an acceptance sampling plan in SAP QM, it is important to ensure that the criteria are realistic and achievable. It is also important to ensure that the sample size is large enough to accurately represent the entire batch of goods.
