• Key Concepts: 
  Tolerance in SAP Quality Management (QM) is a numerical value that defines the maximum amount of deviation from a specified value that is allowed. It is used to define the acceptable range of quality for a product or service. Tolerance is used to determine whether a product or service meets the required quality standards.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP QM, tolerance is used to define the acceptable range of quality for a product or service. Tolerance can be set for individual characteristics or for an entire product or service. The tolerance values are set in the Quality Inspection Plan (QIP) and are used to determine whether a product or service meets the required quality standards.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting tolerance values, it is important to consider the desired level of quality and the cost associated with achieving that level of quality. It is also important to consider the impact of setting too tight or too loose of a tolerance on the overall quality of the product or service.
