• Key Concepts: 
  A sampling plan is a Quality Management (QM) component in SAP that defines the criteria for selecting a sample from a larger population. It is used to determine the quality of a product or service by evaluating a subset of the population. The sampling plan also defines the acceptance criteria for the sample, which is used to determine whether the product or service meets the required quality standards. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP, sampling plans are created and maintained in the Quality Management (QM) module. The sampling plan is used to define the criteria for selecting a sample from a larger population, such as the number of samples to be taken, the size of each sample, and the acceptance criteria for each sample. The sampling plan can also be used to define inspection points and inspection frequencies. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a sampling plan in SAP, it is important to consider the size of the population and the desired level of accuracy. It is also important to consider any special requirements that may need to be taken into account when selecting samples, such as environmental conditions or product characteristics. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The sampling plan is closely related to other Quality Management (QM) components, such as inspection plans and control plans. These components are used to define how products or services are inspected and monitored for quality assurance purposes.
