  Characteristic Specifications are used in SAP Quality Management (QM) to define the characteristics of a material or product. Characteristics can be physical, chemical, or other properties that are used to describe the material or product. Characteristic Specifications are used to define the acceptable range of values for each characteristic and to determine whether a material or product meets the required specifications.

  Characteristic Specifications can be created in SAP QM by entering the characteristic name, description, and acceptable range of values. The values can be numerical, text, or date values. Once the Characteristic Specification is created, it can be assigned to a material or product in order to ensure that it meets the required specifications.
