Component Name: Quality Management
Description: Acceptance inspection. An attributive inspection is used to determine if the inspection lot should be accepted based on the number of nonconforming units or on the number of defects in the individual samples.
Term: Attributive Inspection
Component: QM - Quality Management
Definition: Attributive inspection is a quality inspection method in SAP QM where the quality characteristics of a material or product are evaluated using qualitative criteria, typically recorded as simple yes/no, pass/fail, or defect/no defect results rather than numerical measurements.
How It’s Used: In real SAP projects, attributive inspection is used when the quality check involves verifying the presence or absence of defects, compliance with specifications, or other binary criteria. For example, during a goods receipt inspection, an inspector might check if packaging is intact (yes/no) or if labeling is correct (pass/fail). This method is common in industries where visual or functional checks are sufficient and precise measurements are not required.
