• Key Concepts: 
  Warning limit is a feature in SAP Quality Management (QM) that allows users to set a limit for a quality characteristic. When the value of the quality characteristic exceeds the warning limit, a warning message is triggered. This allows users to take corrective action before the quality characteristic reaches its critical limit. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To set up a warning limit, users must first define the quality characteristic in the Quality Management system. Then, they can set the warning limit for that quality characteristic in the Quality Management system. The warning limit can be set as either an absolute value or as a percentage of the critical limit. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that the warning limit should be set at a level that is lower than the critical limit. This will ensure that users are alerted before the quality characteristic reaches its critical level.
