• Key Concepts: 
  Follow-up action is a feature in SAP Quality Management (QM) that allows users to take corrective or preventive action when a quality issue arises. It is used to document and track the progress of the action taken, and can be used to ensure that the issue is resolved in a timely manner. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Follow-up action can be initiated from within the QM system. The user will need to enter the details of the issue, such as the type of issue, the responsible party, and any other relevant information. Once this information is entered, the user can then assign a follow-up action to be taken. This action can be assigned to an individual or a group of people, and can include tasks such as conducting an investigation, taking corrective action, or implementing preventive measures. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a follow-up action, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included. This includes details such as the responsible party, any deadlines for completion, and any other relevant information. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all parties involved are aware of their responsibilities and are kept up-to-date on the progress of the follow-up action.
