Recurring inspection (also called repeat inspection) at regular intervals allows business users to take advantage of standard SAP functionality to automatically create inspection lots when the expiry dates of batch-managed goods approach. The shelf life-related details of materials are managed in individual batches. These inspection lots can then go through quality control checks of results recording and usage decisions to decide if they can still be used or not. This functionality offers time and cost savings by enabling the business to act proactively.
