• Key Concepts: 
  An inspection plan is a Quality Management (QM) component in SAP that defines the inspection characteristics of a material. It is used to determine the type of inspection that needs to be performed on a material, the frequency of the inspection, and the criteria for acceptance or rejection. The inspection plan also contains information about the sampling procedure and the sampling strategy. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Inspection plans are created in SAP using the Quality Management (QM) module. The user must first define the characteristics of the material that need to be inspected, such as size, weight, color, etc. Then, they must define the type of inspection that needs to be performed on the material, such as visual inspection or dimensional inspection. The user must also define the frequency of the inspection and the criteria for acceptance or rejection. Finally, they must define the sampling procedure and sampling strategy. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that all relevant information is included in an inspection plan. This includes any special instructions or requirements for performing the inspection, as well as any safety precautions that need to be taken. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all relevant personnel are aware of the inspection plan and its requirements. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Inspection plans are closely related to Quality Certificates, which are documents issued by an organization to certify that a product meets certain quality standards. Quality Certificates are typically issued after an inspection has been performed according to an inspection plan. Additionally, Quality Notifications can be used in conjunction with an inspection plan to document any issues or defects found during an inspection.
