  Key Concepts: 
  Quality number is a unique identifier assigned to each quality inspection lot in SAP Quality Management (QM). It is used to track the quality of materials and products throughout the production process. Quality numbers are assigned to each inspection lot and are used to identify the lot in all subsequent quality inspections. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP QM, quality numbers are assigned when an inspection lot is created. The quality number is then used to track the quality of the materials and products throughout the production process. Quality numbers can be used to identify the inspection lot in all subsequent quality inspections, such as incoming goods inspections, in-process inspections, and final product inspections. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the quality number is correctly assigned when creating an inspection lot. This will ensure that all subsequent quality inspections are linked to the correct inspection lot.
