• Key Concepts: 
  Long-term inspection is a Quality Management (QM) component in SAP that allows users to plan and execute long-term inspections of materials. This process helps to ensure that the quality of materials remains consistent over time. Long-term inspections are used to monitor the quality of materials over a period of time, and can be used to detect any changes in quality that may occur.
  
  How to use it: 
  Long-term inspections can be set up in SAP by creating an inspection plan. This plan will define the parameters for the inspection, such as the frequency of inspections, the type of inspection, and the criteria for passing or failing an inspection. Once the plan is created, it can be assigned to a material or group of materials. The system will then automatically generate an inspection order for each material or group of materials that is assigned to the plan. The inspection order will contain all of the necessary information for performing the inspection, such as the type of inspection, the criteria for passing or failing, and any other relevant information.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a long-term inspection plan, it is important to consider how often inspections should be performed. Depending on the type of material being inspected, it may be necessary to perform inspections more or less frequently than other materials. Additionally, it is important to consider any external factors that may affect the quality of the material over time, such as changes in temperature or humidity.
