• Key Concepts: 
  Tolerance range is a feature in SAP Quality Management (QM) that allows users to define the acceptable range of values for a certain quality characteristic. This range is used to determine whether a quality inspection result is within the acceptable limits or not. The tolerance range can be set up for both numerical and categorical values. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To set up a tolerance range, users must first define the quality characteristic in the Quality Management system. Then, they can specify the upper and lower limits of the acceptable range for that characteristic. The system will then use this range to determine whether an inspection result is within the acceptable limits or not. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a tolerance range, it is important to consider the context of the quality characteristic and the desired outcome. For example, if a quality characteristic has a wide range of acceptable values, then it may be beneficial to set up a wider tolerance range. On the other hand, if a quality characteristic has a narrow range of acceptable values, then it may be beneficial to set up a narrower tolerance range.
