• Key Concepts: 
  Primary sample is a term used in SAP Quality Assurance (QA) to refer to a sample of a product that is taken from the production line and tested for quality. It is the first sample taken from the production line and is used to determine the quality of the product. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Primary samples are used to ensure that the product meets the quality standards set by the company. The primary sample is tested for various parameters such as size, shape, color, texture, etc. If any of these parameters do not meet the standards, then corrective action must be taken.

  It is important to take multiple primary samples from different parts of the production line in order to get an accurate assessment of the product’s quality. Additionally, it is important to document all primary samples taken and their results in order to track any changes in quality over time.
