ERP Quality ManagementPage 15 of 22

OverviewThe Quality Management component (QM) is part of the integrated R/3 System. With the functions of the Quality Management (QM) module, you can implement the most important elements of a QM system, as specified in ISO 9000. These functions are complemented by other integrated application components of the SAP system (such as MM, SD, PP). The QM application component is not installed as a stand-alone solution, but is integrated in all areas of the SAP business system.The SAP QM module supports tasks associated with quality planning, quality inspection and quality control throughout an enterprise. It sets the specifications for quality and standard testing procedures, controls the creation of quality certificates and manages notifications related to quality. It also stores the quality data for raw materials, goods-in-process and finished goods. At the enterprise level, i.e., at the SAP level, you require quality data to be saved with customer orders and goods shipped and received.Functions in QM Application Components - Quality Planning Quality Inspection Quality Control Quality Certificates Quality Notifications Test Equipment ManagementQuality Planning- Creating and Managing the Master data that is required to plan and execute quality inspections. It has basic data for Quality Management. The term "Quality Planning" covers inspection planning and its relevant basic data.General master data (for example, material master, batch data, vendor master records)QM specific master data (for example, master inspection characteristics, inspection methods, sampling procedures)Inspection planning functions (for example, inspection plan, material specification)Quality Inspection- Determines whether the units inspected fulfill the predefined quality requirements. SAP QM supports diverse variants for quality inspections. SAP QM supports a range of inspection processing variants that are differentiated using the inspection type.Inspection lot processing (from creation to completion)Results recordingDefects recordingSample managementInterfaces to subsystems (such as QM-IDI- allows the transfer of measurement data, using a keyboard wedge)Quality Control- Implementing different preventive, monitoring and corrective activities. These activities will be based on the specifications from quality planning and the evaluations of quality inspections and quality notifications.Dynamic modification of the inspection scopeStatistical process control (SPC; control charts, results history)Quality scores (cp value, cpk value)Vendor evaluationQuality-related costsEvaluationsQuality Certificates- Certifying the quality of the material or Product. Quality Certificates contain texts, specifications, values and inspection results.Certificate of conformityWorks test certificateCertificate of analysisQuality Notifications- Recording and processing internal or external problems that are primarily caused by poor quality of goods or services. Defect Analysis Customer Complaint Complaint against Vendor DocumentationTest Equipment Management- Managing Master data as well as the planning and processing calibration inspections for test and measurement equipment.Creation and management of test equipment master dataCalibration planning functions (for example, definition of calibration cycles)Calibration inspection functions (for example, inspection specifications)Calibration inspection processing and Test equipment trackingBenefits of SAP QM-Manages quality information for materials, vendors and manufacturers.Manages the inventory of goods during the inspection and takes the goods being inspected into account for materials planning purposes.Monitors the shelf-life of batches and the deadline for recurring inspections.Manages quality inspections for manufacturing orders.Manages problems in production using quality notifications and by processing corrective tasks.Manages problems in salesand distribution with the help of quality notifications and by processing customer complaints.Using the functions of the QM in Procurementcomponent, you can: Manage quality-related information for materials, vendors, and manufacturers in quality info records Release or block vendors and manufacturers Monitor the QM systems of vendors and manufacturers Supply quality documents with requests for quotations andpurchaseorders Evaluate vendors on the basis of quality Certify vendors or manufacturers that have QM systems implemented, to reduce the inspection requirement Manage and release supply relationships Request that quality certificates be submitted with the delivered goods and monitor the receipt of these certificates Inspect vendor goods at vendor sites (source inspections) Inspect vendor goods upon receipt (goods receipt inspections) Manage the posted goods in inspection stock Block the payment of invoices until the goods have been inspected and accepted Process goods receipt inspections for manufacturer-specific materials Inspect goods that have been externally processed when they are returned in a goods receipt

Steps for PP-PI - QM Integration1. Material Master is created2. QM view is created.3. All the relevant inspection types are assigned.4. BOM, Resource is created.5. Now assign inspection types 03 & 04.6. Do In Process (inspection type = 03) & FG inspection (inspection type:04) to be done7. Now For - 03 inspection you need to assign inspection characteristics to the Master Recipe.For the 04 inspection you need to create an inspection plan and assign the control for lot creation in the material master i.e. to X If you use the Y setting then the inspection lot is created with the release of the order.8. Final step In the PPPI scenario the control recipe will generate after u release the process order. u can find point the red round sign on the process order main screen. Click to activate that sign ==> the control recipe is generated. After that if you maintain some parameter in the PI sheet that will capture by saving the process order. Then Initiate t-code: CO53 & find the PI sheet for your process order. Now you need to send this PI sheet to specific destination. Then Initiate t-code: CO60 ==> u can see the PI sheet for the Process order with the maintained parameter. The 04 inspection lot is stock relevant meaning that the material from the GR from production goes into quality stock.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Note: In material master under Quality view, QM config would assign inspection type (one for pre despatch and another one for post despatch). Material Master Table: MARA. Check also Material Master Views for increased visibility.Config Activity (that is carried out here)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~In material master => go to quality management view => select inspection set up => select inspection type => In inspection give 06 and 10 & => click on 'Active'. => save this info (click on the save button).Implying => when you do PGR (Post Goods Receipt) for return stock/material, it will create a inspection lot. QM config will update the inspection lot base settings and when we do PGR it will go to quality stock, with specified category.MM-SD - Under Inventory ManagementReturn Delivery & Credit Memo (issue)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Integration Points Module- Increases Inventory - MM/ QM (For Inspection)Delivery & Goods Issue~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~- Availability Check - MM- Credit Check - FI (coverage from FICO area)- Reduces stock - MM/ QM (Inspection before moving stock to unrestricted Stock / before despatching the material).PS: If you have seen any additional changes/updates - please let me know. I know you are from ABAP side, If you need table level updates, let me know.

QM in Materials ManagementPurposeThis scenario describes the use and integration of theQuality Management(QM)component in the procurement processes of a company.Quality management supports you in the management of materials (procurement): In purchasing when Selecting and releasing suitable vendors Creating and processing requests for quotations and purchase orders In inventory management when Processing goods receipt inspections Releasing or rejecting lots Valuating batches In batch storage when monitoring expiration dates and deadlines for recurring inspections When processing complaints against vendors for substandard deliveriesPrerequisitesIn the scenarioQM in Materials Management,you use the integrated business functions of the following R/3 components:ComponentFunctions

Quality Management (QM)Performing quality inspections at goods receipt for a purchase orderEvaluating vendorsProcessing complaints against vendors (quality notification)

Purchasing (MM-PUR)Creating purchase ordersCreating, releasing, and shipping purchase orders, contract release orders or individual schedule lines

Inventory Management (MM-IM)Controlling goods movements

ControllingRecording and settling nonconformity costs

SAP Business WorkflowControlling follow-up processesSending messages to the departments affected

SAP ArchiveLinkStoring customer-specific quality certificates in the optical archiveAssigning and managing incoming and outgoing documents related to a quality notification

Process FlowProcurement and PurchasingIn the quality information record (Q-info record), you define specific information relating to the vendor and to the delivered material at plant level, such as references to quality assurance agreements, delivery status (model, production series), release periods, and quantities.You use this to control the source inspection at the vendors premises and the criteria for an inspection skip.You release vendors, if they are to deliver goods that are subject to quality control. You can limit the release of these supply relationships to a specific time frame and a maximum delivery quantity. If the vendor has serious quality problems, you can block requests for quotations, purchase orders, or goods receipts for specific materials supplied by this vendor.For the evaluation of the vendor, the system summarizes quality scores from vendor audits, goods receipt inspections, and complaints against the vendor. Information about the vendors delivery reliability and price record is also provided from purchasing for evaluation purposes. The QM component provides information about the vendors QM system and the quality of the delivered goods.When you receive requests for quotations and purchase orders for materials that are subject to quality control, your quality system must have released the vendor. If this is not the case, the purchasing agent is informed. When the purchase order is placed, the vendor automatically receives information about the technical delivery terms, the quality assurance agreement, and his or her obligation to include a quality certificate with the delivery.Quality Inspection in MM1. At the time of goods receipt, the SAP System automatically creates an inspection lot and provides you with the shop papers required for the quality inspection.2. If you have scheduled a source inspection instead of a goods receipt inspection, the SAP System automatically creates an inspection lot for this.3. You record characteristic results.4. You can document any defects that are found using defect data. To manage a defect, together with its corrective action in the system, you activate and process a quality notification.5. The quality inspection ends with the inspection lot completion, which involves making a usage decision for the total goods receipt quantity. If certification is required, you have to confirm receipt of the relevant certificate at the time the usage decision is made (at the latest).If you release the material...If you reject the material...

The system posts the goods to unrestricted-use stock, thus allowing them to be subsequently placed into storageThe system can automatically create a complaint against the vendor. You can then return the material to the vendor

As long as you have not made the usage decision, the system blocks the automatic payment of an invoice.You can use a QM order to enter and settle costs for inspection activities that were incurred when results were recorded or when the usage decision was made.If the system releases the goods receipt quantity because no defects were found in the quality inspection, you can post the goods to unrestricted-use stock.Quality Notifications for Complaint Against VendorYou can use quality notifications to process and document complaints against vendors that have arisen as a result of poor quality products in procurement.1. The products are stored in the warehouse. You can either complain about the goods (without returning them) or return them. If you have already created a return for sales order processing, the system automatically creates an inspection lot for the inspection that subsequently takes place.

Alternatively, the customer sends a collective shipment, together with the corresponding inspection reports.2. You then create a quality notification in which you can enter the object concerned, the details of the problem, the departments responsible for the notification in your company, as well as the corrective tasks and activities to be performed.If the substandard product in the problem is a material or product handled in batches, you can call up a batch where-used list to identify, for example, the batches of raw material or semi-finished products that make up the affected batch, or the batches of semi-finished or finished products that contain the affected batch.3. Once you have performed and confirmed all the required tasks, you complete the quality notification.

Often, you only ascertain whether a task was successful after the quality notification has been completed. In such cases, you can document the success of a task retrospectively in the quality notification.It is advisable to use quality notifications for complaints against a vendor if: Several people are required to process a problem You want to improve your products and processes on an ongoing basis, by systematically analyzing problemsResultThe data collected and documented in the quality notification is available for more detailed analysis in theQM Information System. In this way, you build a knowledge base that helps you to improve the quality of your products and processes on an ongoing basis.

QM in ProductionPurposeThis scenario describes the quality inspections that take place during and after the manufacturing operation. These inspections can play an important part in different industry sectors and production types. They can be integrated, for example, in lot-based machine assembly, mass production of machine parts or batch-based foodstuff production.The manufacture of products using batches or recipes in certain branches of the process industry is subject to stringent requirements regarding product quality and manufacturing procedures, which are laid down by regulatory bodies (such as the FDA and GMP). These requirements apply primarily to the pharmaceutical industry, but also to certain sectors in the foodstuff and cosmetic industries.PrerequisitesIn the scenarioQM in Production, you use the integrated business functions of the following R/3 components:ComponentFunctions

Quality Management (QM)Processing quality notificationsCarrying out quality inspections during production and for goods receipts from production

Production Planning (PP)Processing lot-based shop manufacturing with production order or mass production with production version (work scheduling and production processing)

Production Planning in the Process Industry (PP-PI)Processing batch-based process manufacturing (chemical, pharmaceutical, foodstuff industries) with process order

Controlling (CO)Recording and settling nonconformity costs

SAP Business WorkflowControlling follow-up processesSending messages to the departments affected

SAP ArchiveLinkAssigning and managing incoming and outgoing documents of a quality notification

Process FlowQuality Inspection During Production When you release a manufacturing order (production order, process order or production version) the system automatically creates an inspection lot to manage inspection specifications and inspection results in all operations. You can also create an inspection lot manuallybefore the manufacturing order is released. The system provides the required shop papers for the quality inspection.These inspections are based on a separate inspection plan. If several different batches are produced and delivered to the warehouse during a manufacturing order, an inspection lot is created for each batch. In a quality inspection during production, you can plan numerous inspections for an operation by using inspection points. This allows you to constantly monitor the production operation and to assign the partial quantities (subsets) that have been produced to the inspection points. You then record characteristic results. If there are partial quantities with varying characteristics, you can divide the total quantity for the production order into partial lots, based on the inspection points.You can record inspection activities and results when you confirm operations in the manufacturing order. You can document any defects that are found using defect data. To manage a defect, together with its corrective action in the SAP System, you activate and process a quality notification. You make a usage decision for the total quantity of the inspection lot at inspection lot completion. You can also make a usage decision for each partial quantity (partial lot) of the inspection lot. The usage decision for the entire lot documents the completion of all inspections, or the completion of the manufacturing order from a QM standpoint. If no defects were found in the quality inspection, you post a goods receipt. This posting updates the stock quantities and the stock value of the goods produced.Quality Inspection for a Goods Receipt from ProductionThe SAP System can create a new inspection lot at goods receipt, and if required, can post the material to inspection stock.A quality inspection for a goods receipt from production is similar to the inspection during production. It does not however use inspection points and partial lots. Alternatively, an "early" inspection lot can be created for the goods receipt posting from production when the order is released. Partial quantities can then be posted continually to this lot, each time goods are received from production.You record the costs of the inspection in a QM order.To complete the inspection, you make a usage decision for the goods receipt quantity. The inspection lot quantity that has been accepted is posted to unrestricted-use stock. You can make special postings for quantities that have not been accepted.Internal Quality NotificationsYou can use internal quality notifications during production to process and document defects in quality that have been identified.For example, if an employee identifies serious defects in semi-finished products or machines, you can create a quality notification in which you can enter the objects concerned, the departments responsible for the notification in your company, as well as the corrective tasks and activities to be performed.If the substandard product in the problem is a material or product handled in batches, you can call up a batch where-used list to identify, for example, the batches of raw material or semi-finished products that make up the affected batch, or the batches of semi-finished or finished products that contain the affected batch.Once you have confirmed all the required tasks that have been performed, you complete the quality notification.Often, you only ascertain whether a task was successful after the quality notification has been completed. In such cases, you can document the success of a task retrospectively in the quality notification.It is advisable to use quality notifications in production if: Several people are required to process a problem You want to improve your products and processes on an ongoing basis, by systematically analyzing problemsProcess IndustryThe batch and recipe-oriented manufacture of products in the process industry also requires a special approval procedure, when the individual process orders are released This procedure plays an integral role in safeguarding specific quality requirements in the relevant industry sectors.ResultOnce you have processed the quality notification, you have rectified the problem that occurred and removed the cause of the problem.In a quality inspection, you can give attributes to the batches produced with the help of the inspection results. You can then use these attributes in Sales to select specific batches at a goods issue posting.Once the production operation has been completed, you have goods of an acceptable quality in your warehouse, provided that no defects were found at the quality inspection. These goods are available for use as required.

Quality Management in Sales and DistributionPurposeThis scenario describes how you use and integrate theQuality Management(QM)component in the sales and distribution processes of a company.With this component, you can support your sales and shipping activities by: Performing quality inspections for delivery of a material or product before it leaves your premises (quality inspections for a delivery). Creating quality certificates for individual deliveries Managing customer-specific terms of delivery or inspection specifications Processing customer complaints for substandard or defective deliveriesPrerequisitesIn the scenarioQM in Sales and Distribution, you use the integrated business functions of the following R/3 components:ComponentFunctions

Quality Management (QM)Performing quality inspections for a deliveryCreating quality certificates for deliveryProcessing customer complaints (quality notifications)

Sales and distribution (SD)Accessing sales data for quality certificate creation (for example, from the customer master record or sales order)

Controlling (CO)Entering and settling nonconformity costs

SAP ArchiveLinkAssigning and managing incoming and outgoing documents related to a quality notification

Process FlowCustomer-Specific Inspection SpecificationsFor configurable materials, the customer can specify characteristic values for a required variant. You can define that these specifications from the variant configuration are automatically copied into production inspections and their related goods inspections.If you manage the stock of a material in batches, the system allows you to select suitable batches using batch characteristics. You can use the characteristic values defined for batch determination as the specifications for the final inspection at the shipping stage.If the inspection characteristics come from different sources and are not compatible, the specifications from batch determination or from the variant configuration have precedence over the specifications from the material specification or inspection plan.Quality Inspection for Delivery and Return DeliveryWhen you create a delivery note for a product, the SAP Systemautomaticallyopens an inspection lot and provides the necessary shop papers for a quality inspection. The inspection lot can also be createdmanually.If you manage the product to be delivered in batches and one delivery item cannot be covered by a single batch, the system can divide the delivery item between several batches and create a partial lot for each batch.If you have defined that the quality inspection can take place after the delivery, you can post the goods issue independently of the quality inspection.You enter characteristic results for the inspection lot or partial lot.You can document any defects that are found using defect data. To manage a defect, together with its corrective action in the system, you activate and process a quality notification.If you recorded characteristic results for partial lots, you make a usage decision for the partial lot and the entire inspection lot. Otherwise, you make a usage decision for the inspection lot.You can use a QM order to enter and settle costs for inspection activities that were incurred when results were recorded or when the usage decision was made.If necessary, the system automatically creates a quality certificate.If no defects were found in the quality inspection, you can post a goods issue after making the usage decision.Certificate CreationSome industry sectors include quality certificates with the delivery. These certificates document the material specification or the inspection results of a batch. The SAP System provides many options for certificate creation. It automatically finds the delivery certificate recipient and selects the correct form, content, and output device according to the information for the addressee and environment. It uses information from Sales and Distribution (for example, from the customer master or sales order) and if required, information from the Quality Management component (for example, from inspection specifications or inspection results), or from the Materials Management component (for example, from the batch specification, or from the specifications for batch determination). The SAP System creates the certificate at the same time as the other shipping documents and prints them using a printer or fax. The quality certificates that are produced can be stored using the SAP ArchiveLink.Customers with the required authorization can access the certificate for a batch on the Internet.Quality Notifications for Customer ComplaintsYou can use quality notifications to process and document customer complaints, that arise as a result of poor quality products.The products have been delivered to the customer. The customer complains about the goods (without returning them) or returns them without prior notice.If you have already created a return for sales order processing, the system automatically creates an inspection lot for the inspection that subsequently takes place.Alternatively, the customer sends a collective shipment together with the corresponding inspection reports.You then create a quality notification in which you can enter the object concerned, the details of the problem, the departments responsible for the notification in your company, as well as the corrective tasks and activities to be performed.If the substandard product in the problem is a material or product handled in batches, you can call up a batch where-used list to identify, for example, the batches of raw material or semi-finished products that make up the affected batch, or the batches of semi-finished or finished products that contain the affected batch.Once you have confirmed all the required tasks that have been performed, you complete the quality notification.Often, you only ascertain whether a task was successful after the quality notification has been completed. In such cases, you can document the success of a task retrospectively in the quality notification.It is advisable to use quality notifications for customer complaints if: Several people are required to process a problem You want to improve your products and processes on an ongoing basis, by systematically analyzing problemsThe data collected and documented in the quality notification is available for more detailed analysis in theQM Information System. In this way, you build a knowledge base that helps you to improve the quality of your products and processes on an ongoing basis.

QM-ProcessInspection ProcessingFollowing are the steps in the process flow ofinspection processing - Process Flow Inspection lot Creation Selection of Inspection Specs Sample Drawing Actual Inspection Results Recording Defects Recording Usage Decision Goods Movement Information Management SystemInspection Lot Creation - Inspection processing begins with the creation of inspection lot, which can be created manually or automatically. There are several functions to be carried out that will create and prepare an inspection lot for processing. Inspection lot gets created as a result of goods movement like goods receipt from Vendor, Goods receipt from Production, Goods issue to Customer.......................Selection of Inspection Specs - As the inspection lot is createdan inspection specification gets assigned to it. An inspection specification should be assigned to inspection lot if you want to enter results and take Usage Decision. Inspection specification can be assigned manually by user or automatically by system. There are different criteria considered during inspection specification assignment like the inspection type, inspection lot origin, Material-Vendor-Plant combination.........................Sample Drawing - Relevant sampling procedures are selected, Once the inspection specification is assigned to the inspection lot the sample size is to be calculated for the inspection lot. Calculation of sample size can be done manually or automatically. The system can only calculate the sample size automatically if you use an inspection specification to inspect the goods in the inspection lot.Actual inspection - Inspection method and equipments are selected.Results Recording - Results of Characteristics are recorded. Recording and processing of results for inspection characteristics are carried out. Results recording will be based on Characteristics. The recorded results data will be used for all documentation and evaluation for Quality Control Purposes.Defects Recording - Defects found duringinspection are recorded. A defect is any property or attribute of a material, product or process that does not meet the inspection characteristic specifications. You record the defects with the help of predefined defect codes maintained in the inspection catalogs.Once a defect record has been created, it is saved in the system as a quality notification. A quality notification is a system-supported problem message that you can use to process different types of problems relating to poor-quality goods or services.Usage Decision - Decision on Accept/ Reject is recorded. With the Usage Decision we decide if the material is OK/ not OK.Goods Movement - After the Usage Decision the material under inspection is released and posted to Unrestricted/ Blocked Use.

Master Inspection Characteristics can contain General Data and Control Data. We can assign inspection methods, Selected sets and Code groupsto MICs.Inspection Method specifies "How do you want to Inspect" or how to carry out inspection to an inspection characteristic. Master inspection methods can be created at plant level to simplify and standardize the inspection planning activities.Inspection plans can be created for different purposes like model inspection, audit inspection, Goods receipt inspection, Goods issue inspection, Stock Transfer inspection and recurring inspection. Inspection plan is used to define which characteristics are to be inspected in each inspection operation and which test equipment is to be used in the inspection. Inspection plan can have visual inspection and specification inspection.Sampling Procedure - Calculation of Sample size and type of valuation for result recording. Sampling type defines how the sample is to be determined.Sampling defines rules for acceptance and rejection. Sampling scheme contains information for drawing samples, based on the size of the inspection lot and various inspection severities. Sampling Scheme is arrangement of Sample plans for acceptance of characteristics for various lot sizes.Inspection Catalog - The catalog contains unique, non-numerical data in the system that is defined at client or plant level. Inspection catalogs are used to evaluate unstructured descriptions using codes, coded descriptions are maintained in Catalog's. Catalog is a method to classify unstructured descriptions of inspection tasks, activities, defects, decisions etc. Hierarchy of Catalogs - Code Groups are assigned to Catalog types, Codes are assigned to Code Groups.Quality Info Record- Specific settings for Vendor, material and plant combination, Validity dates can be specified, restricts procurement from Un-Certified Vendors.Sampling Procedure is by which the sample size foran inspection is determined, Sampling Scheme consistsof tables with sampling plans that are dependenton the lot size.Dynamic Modification Rule - Contains the definition of inspection stages and the conditions that lead to changes in inspection stages.Key Quality Management Configuration for Integration
