What is the purpose of Inspection Lot in SAP QM?

In SAP QM, an Inspection Lot is a grouping of one or more materials/items that are subject to inspection based on certain criteria or requirements. The main purpose of Inspection Lots is to systematically manage and track the quality inspection processes for goods received, in-process production, and finished products within the SAP Quality Management module.

By creating Inspection Lots, organizations can ensure that all critical quality checks and tests are conducted on the materials or products to confirm their compliance with predefined quality standards. Inspection Lots also facilitate traceability and enable data recording related to inspection results, defect analysis, and quality notifications.

Overall, Inspection Lots play a crucial role in ensuring product quality, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement within the quality management processes of an organization using SAP QM.
