inspection lots (SAP inspection lots)
An inspection lot within the SAP Quality Management module is a formal request to a plant to examine a specific quantity of materials at a plant.
Inspection lots, which can also be requests to examine pieces of equipment or functional locations, are documented by an inspection lot record in the SAP system. Information in the inspection lot record is compared against pre-defined specifications for the material, which helps the quality inspector decide whether to accept or reject the goods or materials.
An inspection lot can be created manually by the user or automatically by the system.
