• Key Concepts: 
  Specification limit is a term used in SAP Quality Management (QM) to define the upper and lower limits of a product's quality characteristics. It is used to determine whether a product meets the required quality standards. The specification limit is set by the customer or manufacturer and is used to evaluate the quality of the product. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP QM, the specification limit is used to compare the actual values of a product's quality characteristics with the required values. If the actual values are within the specified limits, then the product is considered to be of acceptable quality. If the actual values are outside of the specified limits, then corrective action must be taken to bring the product back into compliance with the required standards. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting specification limits in SAP QM, it is important to ensure that they are realistic and achievable. Setting unrealistic limits can lead to unnecessary corrective actions and delays in production. It is also important to ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the specification limits and understand their implications. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The specification limit is closely related to other terms such as tolerance range, acceptance criteria, and control limits. Tolerance range defines how much variation from the specified limit is acceptable, while acceptance criteria defines what level of quality must be achieved in order for a product to be accepted. Control limits are used to monitor process performance over time and identify any potential issues that may arise.
