• Key Concepts: 
  Inspection duration is a term used in SAP Quality Management (QM). It is the amount of time that an inspection lot is held in a quality inspection process before it is released. The inspection duration is determined by the quality inspector and can be set to any length of time. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Inspection duration can be set in the SAP system by the quality inspector. The inspector will enter the desired duration for the inspection lot and this will be used to determine when the lot should be released. The inspector can also set a maximum duration for the inspection lot, which will prevent it from being held for too long. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting an inspection duration, it is important to consider the amount of time needed to complete the inspection process. If the duration is too short, then the inspection may not be completed properly and could lead to incorrect results. If the duration is too long, then it could lead to unnecessary delays in releasing the lot.
