• Key Concepts: 
  Inspection interval is a Quality Management (QM) component in SAP that allows users to define the frequency of inspections for a particular material or product. It is used to determine when an inspection should be performed and how often it should be repeated. The inspection interval can be set up for a specific material or product, or it can be set up for a group of materials or products. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Inspection intervals are set up in the Quality Management (QM) module of SAP. To set up an inspection interval, users must first define the material or product that they want to inspect. Then, they must specify the frequency of the inspection, such as daily, weekly, monthly, etc. Finally, they must specify the duration of the inspection interval, such as one month, three months, six months, etc. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that the inspection interval should be set up based on the specific needs of the business. For example, if a business needs to inspect a particular material or product on a daily basis, then they should set up an inspection interval with a frequency of daily and a duration of one month. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Inspection intervals are closely related to Quality Certificates in SAP. Quality Certificates are documents that are issued after an inspection has been performed and they provide evidence that the inspected material or product meets certain quality standards. Quality Certificates can be generated automatically when an inspection is performed according to an established inspection interval.
