• Key Concepts: 
  Single unit is a term used in SAP Quality Management (QM) to refer to a single item or material that is inspected or tested. It is the smallest unit of measure that can be inspected or tested, and it is used to determine the quality of a product. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP QM, single units are used to define the quality of a product. The quality of a product is determined by inspecting or testing each single unit and comparing it to the defined quality standards. If the single unit meets the quality standards, then the product is considered to be of good quality. If not, then corrective action must be taken. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When inspecting or testing single units, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is recorded accurately. This includes the date and time of inspection, the type of inspection performed, and any defects found. This information can then be used to identify any potential issues with the product and take corrective action if necessary.
