• Key Concepts: 
  Inspection stock is a type of stock in SAP Quality Management (QM) that is used to store goods that are subject to quality inspection. It is used to separate goods that have been inspected from those that have not, and it can also be used to store goods that have failed inspection.
  
  How to use it: 
  Inspection stock can be created in the SAP system by entering the material number and quantity of the goods to be stored in the inspection stock. The system will then create an inspection lot for the goods, which can be used to track the status of the goods throughout the inspection process.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an inspection lot, it is important to ensure that all relevant information about the goods is entered into the system, such as the material number, quantity, and any other relevant data. This will ensure that the inspection process runs smoothly and efficiently.
  
  Related Information: 
  Inspection stock is closely related to other types of stock in SAP QM, such as blocked stock and unrestricted-use stock. Blocked stock is used to store goods that are awaiting quality inspection, while unrestricted-use stock is used to store goods that have passed inspection and are ready for use.
