• Key Concepts: 
  Primary sample is a term used in SAP Quality Management (QM). It is a sample taken from a batch of material that is used to represent the entire batch for quality control purposes. The primary sample is usually taken from the beginning of the batch and is used to determine whether the entire batch meets the required quality standards. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP QM, the primary sample is used to determine whether the entire batch meets the required quality standards. The primary sample is taken from the beginning of the batch and is tested for various parameters such as color, texture, size, etc. If the primary sample passes all tests, then it can be assumed that the entire batch meets the required quality standards. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When taking a primary sample, it is important to ensure that it is representative of the entire batch. This means that it should be taken from different parts of the batch and should be tested for all relevant parameters. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the primary sample is stored properly so that it can be used for future reference if needed. 
  
  Related Information: 
  In SAP QM, there are other types of samples such as secondary samples and tertiary samples. Secondary samples are taken from different parts of the batch and are used to confirm that the primary sample was representative of the entire batch. Tertiary samples are taken from different batches and are used to compare different batches with each other.
