• Key Concepts: 
  Dependent inspection characteristics are used in SAP Quality Management (QM) to define the relationship between two characteristics. This relationship is used to determine the value of one characteristic based on the value of another. For example, if a product has a certain color, then it may have a certain size. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use dependent inspection characteristics, you must first define the characteristics and their relationships in the system. This can be done in the Quality Management (QM) module of SAP. Once the characteristics and their relationships have been defined, they can be used in inspection plans and results recording. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining dependent inspection characteristics, it is important to ensure that all possible combinations of values are accounted for. This will ensure that all results are accurately recorded and that no errors occur during data entry.
