Content:
Goods Receipt in the Inspection Stock The “Post to Inspection Stock” indicator triggers automatic posting in the inspection stock. You can set the indicator at various levels. If only the “Posting in Inspection Stock” indicator is set, then no inspection lots are created in the system. If the “Inspection Stock” indicator in the inspection setup (for example, inspection type for inspection lot origin 01 or 05) is set on the QM View in the materials master, it can be changed when active during goods receipt. The stock is managed in Materials Management (Inventory Management) and when the inspection type is active a transfer posting can be made exclusively using transactions for usage decision.
Purchase Order and Goods Receipt If you have made the required settings in the quality management view of the material master (QM inspection setup), an inspection lot is created at goods receipt. If a stock-relevant inspection lot is created at goods receipt, a transfer posting can be made for the stock exclusively using the inspection lot in Quality Management.
Quality Management in the Material Master QM-specific data must be maintained at plant level. The basic data can be maintained in other recording views (for example, the purchasing view). As a result, this data may already be maintained. The procurement data affects the ordering transaction. The inspection setup specifies, among other things, if and how a material is to be inspected. QM-specific data can be maintained at material level.
Material Master: Quality Management View When the indicator “QM procurement active” is set, quality management in procurement is activated only for this plant of a client. Details for the QM specific procurement processes at plant level are determined using the QM control key.
Comparison: Inspection Plan – Material Specification The material specification valid at client level can replace or supplement the inspection plan valid at plant level. You can perform a simplified quality inspection using the material specification. If you inspect only using a material specification, you can predefine work centers, use inspection methods, or perform dynamic modification. The master inspection characteristics used in the material specification must be completely maintained (reference characteristic or complete copy model) and can contain dependent inspection specifications for the material. You define in the inspection setup in the Quality Management view of the material master, whether the material specification is used. You use the indicators Insp. with spec. or Inspect with task list to define according to which criteria the inspection is performed.
Inspection Lot Life Cycle An inspection lot can be created automatically or manually. The assignment of the task list and subsequent sample determination can also be carried out automatically. Results recording can only be carried out after the sample size has been determined. Apart from recording results for inspection characteristics, you can also record defects. The usage decision doesn't complete the inspection.
Quality Management During Goods Movements In Customizing (Transaction: QCC0, then: Quality Management -> Quality Inspection -> Inspection Lot Creation -> Inspection for Goods Movements ), you can deactivate the quality inspection for certain movement types. If a suitable inspection lot origin for the movement type is not assigned, the system can create an inspection lot for a goods movement. In the Standard System, all goods movements, for which inspections can be performed, have suitable inspection lot origins assigned to them. You cannot use other inspection lot origins in these cases.
What are the prerequisites for inspection lot creation: The inspection type is active in the material master QM is active in the table of movement types The flag batch managed is set in the material master.
Material Master: Inspection Types Inspection types are maintained in the material master either using the material master maintenance transaction (Transaction: MM02) or using mass maintenance inspection setup in QM (Transaction: QA08). You can maintain inspection types in mass maintenance. This means that you can add new types and activate them for a key date (productive startup). You can deactivate stock relevant inspection types manually even if an inspection lot is already created.
Activate Inspection Types Despite Inspection Stock Until Release 4.5, it was only possible to activate the first stock-relevant inspection type, if no inspection stock existed for the plant-specific material. From Release 4.6, you can also activate a stock-relevant inspection type if inspection stock exists without inspection lots. This involves creating an inspection lot with the inspection type defined in Customizing at plant level, which manages the current inspection stock of the material.
Which statement is correct for Inspection Lot(s) and for Document Item(s) You can't control inspection lot creation (lot combination) using the inspection type in the material master. The controls for lot creation define that in certain circumstances, an existing inspection lot may be extended (a new inspection lot does not have to be created) for a sequence of goods movements. This control is active for the following inspection lot origins for goods movements: 01 goods receipt for purchase order, 04 goods receipt from production, 05 other goods receipt, 08 stock transfer.
Which settings can you make in the inspection type 01? One inspection lot for each material document item (no lot combination). An inspection lot is created for each goods receipt document item. X One inspection lot for each purchase order item/order item. Only valid for inspection lot origins 01 and 04. An inspection lot is only created for the first goods receipt for a purchase order item or production order 1 One inspection lot for each material document and material. Only one inspection lot is created for each material in a material document (that is, within a goods receipt transaction). This is useful if several purchase orders or several partial deliveries for the same material are processed within a goods receipt transaction. 2 One inspection lot for each material and batch. Only one inspection lot is created for each material and batch. This setting is only useful if you are working with materials that are subject to batch management. No inspection lot for each material document item.
Transfer of Inspection Stock You can transfer stock for an existing inspection lot from storage location to storage location and from plant to plant. Only the total quantity can be transferred. You can't transfer stock for an existing inspection lot from storage location to storage location and from plant to plant. Only the total quantity can be transferred. An underdelivery is processed in the same way as the overdelivery. You can't reverse a goods receipt. The open quantity for the purchase order item is not increased by the reversed quantity.
Reset Sample Calculation. After the inspection plan is assigned and the sample size is calculated, you may need to assign a new inspection plan or determine a new sample size. Which are the prerequisites? You can use transaction QAC3 to reset sample calculation. No inspection results have been recorded for the inspection lot.
Overview of All Documents. What is the document trigger for Inspection Lots? one-time inspection actual quantity correction Stock transfer of inspection stock Stock posting from UD.
A status is set in the material document, which displays information about the inspection. Which of the following statuses are possible in the material document (item details)? Inspection active (inspection lot created) QM System certified in QINF (no inspection lot) QM System of vendor/manufacturer certified (no inspection lot) Indicator 'No inspection' active in QINF (no inspection lot) Source inspection instead of GR inspection active in QINF (no inspection lot) Inspection lot already open for previous document Inspection lot will be created in the inbound delivery There is no status set in the material document.
Control in procurement. Which statement is correct? If your company purchases materials from external vendors, you can implement QM in Procurement to support your procurement processes for quality assurance purposes. You can implement QM in Procurement as “stand-alone” or together with quality inspections. As a “stand-alone component”, you can use all procurement functions except those for processing goods receipt inspections. To process such inspections, you need the Quality Inspections.
Using the functions of QM in Procurement, 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 and purchase orders 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.
Using the functions of QM in Procurement, you can: 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.
In the quality management view in the material master you can select the specifications for procurement using the QM control key for Technical Delivery Terms Quality Assurance Agreement Release required Certificate Requirement Block inactive Message control for lock.
In the material master record for a material, you define whether: A goods receipt inspection is required for the material (inspection setup). An invoice should be blocked because of a quality inspection (procurement data). In this case, an inspection lot that has been rejected or one that has no usage decision causes the invoice to be blocked. The material assignment to the inspection plan.
The system sets the reason for blocking, Quality, for an item in the following cases: Goods-receipt-related invoice verification The invoice is blocked, if the inspection lot for the goods receipt concerned was rejected, or if no usage decision has been recorded. No goods-receipt-related invoice verification The invoice is blocked, if any inspection lot for the purchase order item was rejected, or if no usage decision has been recorded.
Quality Info Record for Procurement The quality info record is unique to the plant, vendor, material, and revision level. If a vendor release or a quality assurance agreement is needed, you have to create a quality info record for the specific combination. You can specify a procedure for the procurement process in the quality info record. The quality info record is unique to the material and vendor level.
Which statement is correct? You can deselect the goods receipt inspection in the quality information record for procurement in relation to the vendor and material. Inspection lots for source inspection are created using a job. You can schedule this job. No manual operation is possible for source inspection.
Source Inspection Instead of GR Inspection. Which statement is correct? If you have made the setting for a source inspection instead of a GR inspection in the quality info record for procurement, the system checks at goods receipt whether an inspection lot already exists for the purchase order item. If there is no inspection lot, a new one is created. An existing and outstanding inspection lot has no affect. At rejection, you can set the 3 alternatives in Customizing for the control key for QM in procurement. The 3 alternatives are: "No Influence on GR", "New inspection lot for GR", "GR not allowed". You can't reject the source inspection.
Results Recording on the Internet From Release 4.6C, it is possible to record results based on characteristics on the Internet. The transaction for this service is (QEW01) and it can be used from external locations (Internet) and internally (Intranet). A worklist appears, from which the user can choose an inspection lot, when the user accesses the service. Results recording can be performed for all operations. For an inspection characteristic, you can record summarized results (measured values, mean values, attribute codes, number of nonconforming units, number of defects), single values (single measured values, number of defects), and comments. You can not record results on the Internet.
Results Recording on the Internet, This service is useful for: Results recording at the vendors (source inspection) Internal results recording: Internally, the service can be used to record results as normal. Internet results recording is much quicker as results recording directly in the System.
Results Recording on the Internet The identification process in the SAP ERP-System is based on the alias. Therefore, each SAP ERP user should have an alias assigned to them. Furthermore, it is necessary to create a selection variant for each user in the SAP ERP System. This can be done using transaction QEW01V. The selection variant is used to restrict a user's worklist. The following inspection lots cannot be selected: Inspection lots with inspection point processing, SD inspection lots with partial lots, and inspection lots that require a digital signature.
Status profile in the Quality Info Record The inspection lots cannot be processed simultaneously. A further goods receipt for this material/vendor is not possible if the model inspection has not been completed. You can assign an individual inspection plan to each inspection type and status. The status profile stipulates a sequence for inspection lot processing. A further goods receipt for the material and delivery is only possible for the model lot if the usage decision was “OK”. Revision levels are taken into consideration in inspection plans and quality info records. This means that different inspection plans and quality info records are used depending on the revision level of the material. There is no Status Profile in the Quality Info Record.
QM System in relation to QM in procurement. Which statement is correct? The QM system in use by the vendor only meets the requirements of the QM system maintained as system ISO 9002 (audit note > nn) in the material master. If QM System ISO 9001 is required for the procurement of a material, an order cannot be placed with this vendor. The QM system entered in the vendor master record overrides the QM System entered in the quality info record. The “valid-to date” for the QM system can be maintained in the Q-info record. If a QM system is required by the vendor, this is checked against this date when the purchasing documents are maintained.
Skip for Certification Vendors. Which statement is correct? You can define the QM system for the vendor in the vendor master record. The goods receipt posting for a certified vendor does not create an inspection lot. In the material document, the current inspection status is noted. You can mark a QM System as certified in Customizing for QM in Procurement You can not define the QM system for the vendor in the vendor master record.
Which statement is correct about Mass Maintenance of Quality Info Records? Collective processing is possible for quality info records (Transaction QI06) This transaction can be used to create, change and display quality info records for procurement. No collective processin is possible for quality info records.
Procurement Documents In the procurement process, quality management is involved in requests for quotation, purchase order processing, goods receipt, and vendor evaluation. The documents are placed in the document management system and are assigned accordingly. The assignments are made according to operational area.
For procurement operations (that is, for requests for quotations and purchase orders) the following documents are consulted: Quality assurance agreement (document type Q01): Quality info record, procurement (reference to material, (revision level), vendor, plant) Technical delivery terms (document type Q02): Additional data in the material master Documents for the vendor master record No documents are consulted.
The purchase order printout contains the following additional information: Technical delivery terms Certificate requirement Quality assurance agreement Vendor requirement.
Certificate Processing for vendors. The certificate type determines: whether a certificate is needed for each purchase order item how the system reacts if the certificate is not available at goods receipt whether a certificate is needed for each goods receipt whether a certificate is needed for each customer.
Certificate Processing of procured materials. A status is set in the inspection lot if there is no certificate available at goods receipt. The usage decision can only be made when the receipt of the certificate is confirmed. The usage decision can always be made.
Enhanced Control for the Certificate Type. Which statement is correct? Enhanced certificate processing is activated for each certificate type. A certificate data record is only created if enhanced certificate processing has been activated.
Quality Certificate at goods receipt. Which statement is correct for Certificate Records ? A certificate record can be created manually for the purchase order and purchase order item before the goods receipt When you record the certificate receipt for the purchase order, you can specify the delivery number on the initial screen to identify the certificate record. If you do not enter an item on the initial screen for a purchase order number, a list of the items in the purchase order appears when you choose enter. When you are recording the receipt of the quality certificate and you have entered the purchase order number, purchase order item, and – if applicable – delivery number, then the system proposes the existing certificate data records for the data you have entered for changes. A new certificate record is only created when no matching certificate data record previously existed. This makes certificate processing easier, because it is not always clear whether or not a certificate receipt has already been recorded for the purchase order either electronically or at goods receipt. A certificate record is created at goods receipt (at the latest) if the relevant material requires a certificate and the corresponding settings have been made in Customizing for the certificate type. A certificate record is always created automatically.
Which statement is correct for Monitoring Quality Certificates? You can display a list of certificates, which are yet to come, based on the status of the certificate receipt. A reminder can be processed once the date of the goods receipt plus reminder period is over. From this list, you can choose the items for which you want to print a reminder. The reminder will be created on a SAPscript form. You can send the reminders for missing certificates. A reminder can never be printed.
The system supports the following certificate receipt scenarios for purchased materials: Certificate receipt before goods receipt The receipt of the certificate is recorded with reference to the purchase order. You choose the transaction to record a certificate receipt, and enter the purchase order number, the purchase order item and, if known, the delivery number. Certificate receipt at goods receipt In goods receipt posting, certificate receipt can be monitored: – If you confirm the receipt of the certificate, the status Certificate received is set. If an inspection lot is created and no additional certificate check is required, the lot status CROK (certificate receipt confirmed) is set. – If you don't confirm the receipt, the status Certificate requested is set. If an inspection lot is created, the lot status CTCM (certificate confirmation missing) is set. Certificate receipt for the purchase order item without an inspection lot after goods receipt You choose the transaction to change a certificate receipt, and enter the purchase order number, the purchase order item and, if known, the delivery number for which you want to confirm the receipt of the certificate. Certificate receipt for the purchase order item with an inspection lot after goods receipt If a certificate for a purchase order item is received after the good receipt, there are two possibilities: – Confirmation with the usage decision – Confirmation by using the transaction to change a certificate receipt. Certificate receipt for the purchase order item with inspection lots after the usage decision You confirm the receipt of the certificate as described under "Certificate for a purchase order item received after the goods receipt (no inspection lot created)".
Optical Archiving of GR Certificates You can monitor the receipt of a quality certificate with and without inspection lot processing, independently of the time of goods receipt. You can store the quality certificate in the optical archive. In the first step, the incoming certificate can be filed in the optical archive as a document, document type (QMICERTPDF, for example). The system sends this information to the inbox of the employee responsible using SAP Business Workflow and the document type. The document can then be inspected and assigned to the corresponding certificate record. Prerequisite for enhanced certificate processing: In Cutomizing, the enhanced certificate processing indicator must be set for the certificate type. You can not monitor the receipt of a quality certificate.
Electronic Certificate Transmission: Which statement is correct? You can electronically send and receive quality certificates for a delivery. The quality certificate is electronically transferred to the certificate recipient using EDI (Electronic Data Interchange: This is a company-wide electronic means of exchanging data. The data is formatted according to certain standards) The technical transfer can be performed directly using EDI or the Internet. Certificate creation occurs in a similar way to the printing of the certificate for the delivery. The quality certificate is created as a PDF file and packed in an intermediate document (IDoc). During electronic certificate receipt, a certificate record is updated from the incoming IDoc and the quality certificate is stored in the optical archive. As a result, you no longer have to scan the certificate and manually maintain the certificate record. From release 4.6C, the quality certificate can be electronically transferred with the formatted data. This allows an automatic transfer of results from the certificate to an inspection lot. In addition to outbound deliveries, electronic certificates can also be created for a batch or an inspection lot. This means that the exchange of quality data is not linked to a purchase order or delivery and it makes it easier to use the results of external quality inspections in your own system. You can not electronically send and receive quality certificates for a delivery.
Transfer of Inspection Results to the Certificate From Release 4.6C, the quality certificate can be electronically transferred with the formatted data. This allows an automatic transfer of results from the certificate to an inspection lot. In addition to outbound deliveries, electronic certificates can also be created for a batch or an inspection lot. This means that the exchange of quality data is not linked to a purchase order or delivery and it makes it easier to use the results of external quality inspections in your own system. The recipient can have the data transfer triggered automatically by a goods receipt. In this case, the data is sent to a goods receipt inspection lot. The data transfer can also be triggered manually and the data can then be transferred to any desired inspection lot. The results data origin specified in each inspection characteristic (in the inspection plan or material specification) controls whether or not the data will be copied from the electronic certificate or whether the data will be determined by inspection. If the sender and the recipient use different characteristic descriptions, characteristics are identified and assigned at results transfer using a partner-specific characteristic mapping process. The interface is not suitable for the transfer of data to business partners who do not use an SAP ERP System.
Which statement is correct for Quality Certificates for Deliveries on the Internet? You can't make it possible for your customers to access quality certificates on the Internet. Each customer contact who wants to call up their certificate needs a SAP user and alias name for the delivery system. This SAP user needs to have a reference to a contact person at the customers. The service QC42 (as of Release 3.1) can be used to retrieve quality certificates for a batch from the Internet. The most current certificate data on the database is always read. The certificate is transferred as a PDF file. The service QC40 facilitates the processing of messages related to delivery items directly from the Internet. This means that there is always a current certificate available and that there is a protocol for each retrieval of a certificate. The service QC40A facilitates the display of stored certificates for delivery items on the Internet as a PDF. This means that the content of the certificate is not updated each time the certificate is called. Instead, the stored certificate is displayed each time.
Quality Level and Usage Decision for QM in procurement. Which statement is correct? The quality level is updated depending on the combination of material, vendor, customer, manufacturer, plant, and inspection type. Different quality levels exist for the different dynamic modification levels. The quality level has to be updated manually.
For Dynamic Modification Rule which statement is correct for quality level and UD? The dynamic modification rule contains the definition of inspection stages, the time of updating the quality level (at inspection lot creation or after the usage decision), and the conditions for an inspection stage change. The inspection stage is changed if the inspection is OK (reduced inspection) or when the inspection is not OK (the inspection is tightened). You can make individual settings to specify which conditions cause an inspection stage change. Moreover, you can control the change from the skip stage using the maximum skip duration and the reset period in the dynamic modification rule. During an inspection without a sampling scheme, you should not use the inspection severities tightened, normal, or reduced.
Dynamic Modification at Lot Creation. Which statement is correct? When you create an inspection lot, the sample is determined on the basis of the quality level. If the indicator “Dynamic modification at lot creation” is set in the dynamic modification rule, the quality level for the current inspection lot is immediately updated after sample determination. The system automatically assigns the valuation “Accepted” and changes the inspection stage if the lot is OK. If a characteristic is rejected during results recording, the characteristic valuation in the quality level is changed to “Rejected,” after the usage decision is made. Prerequisite: The characteristic is closed. If the rejection leads to a stage change, this takes place with reference to the stage that is entered in the dynamic modification rule. The subsequent change in the quality level has no effect on inspection lots that were created since this change and are waiting to be processed. You can not define modification rules at lot creation.
Dynamic Modification at Usage Decision modification rule, the system updates the quality level for the current inspection lot when the usage decision is made. When the usage decision is made, the system updates the quality level based on dynamic modification in the usage decision. At this point, the system evaluates the conditions for an inspection stage change based on the dynamic modification rule and, depending on the results of the current inspection, it determines whether or not the inspection stage change should occur. No modification rule can be defined on UD level.
Skip-To-Stock. Which statement is correct? If the conditions for “skip-to-stock” are fulfilled (the indicators Post to Inspection Stock, Skips Allowed, Automatic Usage Decision must be set in the inspection setup), the material is immediately posted to unrestricted-use stock. The inspection lot is not completed with the usage decision.
Usage Decision: General. Which statement is correct? An inspection is not completed when the usage decision is made. In the transaction Record usage decision, you can post quantities of stock from inspection stock or goods receipt blocked stock. An inspection is completed when all characteristics are valuated and closed.
Effects of the Usage Decision. Which statement is correct? In stock-related inspection lots, stock postings are triggered by the usage decision. The quality score influences the “Quality” criterion in the vendor evaluation. The dynamic modification level (determined by the dynamic modification rule) is updated in the quality level. The dynamic modification level is updated always manually.
Making the Usage Decision. Which statement is correct? Inspection lots without a usage decision are displayed in a worklist. In this way, they can be more easily processed. You can create a worklist for inspection lots that have open quantities to be posted. This includes all inspection lots where the lot quantity has not been fully posted. The worklist only contains inspection lots that are stock-relevant and for which, at minimum, a short-term inspection has been completed. You not create lists for inspection lots without inspection completion and inspection lots without usage decisions.
You can generate a list of inspection lots for which a collective usage decision is to be made. The list that is created contains all inspection lots that fulfil the following criteria: Characteristic processing has been completed No usage decision has been made No characteristics were rejected No defects were recorded Characteristics were rejected Defects were recorded.
Alternative Units of Measure in the Usage Decision. Which statement is correct? In usage decision transactions, as standard you can specify quantities for stock postings only in the base unit of measure of the material. You can use the QEVA_ALT_QTY_INPUT Business Add-In to define input help (F4 help) for quantity fields on the stock screen (Inspection lot stock tab page) when making a usage decision. This allows you to enter quantities in units of measure other than the base unit of measure. You can use BAdI methods and an implementation to define a dialog box where you can specify the quantity value for another unit of measure. This value must then be converted to the base unit of measure within the implementation. This means that in the context of usage decisions, quantities can only be transferred to inventory management in the base unit of measure. If no alternative unit of measure is entered in the material, not input help appears for the quantity fields on the stock screen. In usage decision transactions, as standard you can specify quantities for stock postings each unit of measure of the material.
Stock Screen in Usage Decision. Which statement is correct? As of SAP R/3 Enterprise Release 470x200 (PLM Extension 2.00), the function group QEVA_ALT_QUANTITY_INPUT contains coding that makes it possible to enter quantities in alternative units of measure. This coding can be used as supplied, or can serve as a template for customer-specific functions. You can not see the steps required to implement a solution using the function group QEVA_ALT_QUANTITY_INPUT in SAP Note 613717. If the implementation is performed in accordance with SAP Note 613717, input help will be available for quantity fields on the Inspection Lot Stock tab page for inspection lots of a defined inspection type (filter in the BAdI implementation decides for which inspection types the function is activated). The Check function allows you to check the conversion of the value. If necessary, the converted value in the quantity field can still be changed. Stock posting is generally performed in the base unit of measure of the material.
Processing Time for Automatic UD. Which statement is correct? You can set the waiting time and delay time in Customizing at plant level. The maximum possible processing time for skipped inspection lots is calculated by adding the delay time to the job interval. You can set the waiting time and delay time in Customizing at Storage Location level.
Processing Time for Automatic UD. The job makes an automatic usage decision for those inspection lots, which have undergone a certain waiting time after being created and which fulfill the following characteristics: None of the characteristics of the inspection lot have been rejected All required characteristics have been confirmed and completed. There are no defect data records for the inspection lot. An automatic usage decision is permitted for the material. All optional characteristics have been confirmed and completed.
Manufacturer Part Number (MPN). Which statement is correct? An internal material is assigned to each manufacturer part number in the material master. In this way, an internal material can correspond to several manufacturer parts, because these manufacturer parts correspond to a general specification. In our example, this is the length and diameter of the screw. An manufacturer part number profile (MPN profile) is assigned to an internal material in the material master. The MPN profile defines how you can work with MPN materials in the procurement process. In the MPN profile, you can activate only one manufacturer-specific QM processing.
QM Processing With and Without Manufacturer. Which statement is correct? You define in the MPN profile, whether QM processing is performed with or without reference to the manufacturer. The manufacturer is assigned in the material-task list assignment in the inspection plan using the field Vendor, because the manufacturer is a Vendor with a specific account group. If the manufacturer part profile defines manufacturer-related QM processing, the quality information record must relate to the combination of vendor and manufacturer part. If a skip should occur because of certification, a corresponding QM system should be entered in the vendor and manufacturer. Skips are not allowed.
Goods Receipt and Inventory Management. Which statement is correct? Depending on the inspection setup in the quality management view of the material master, an inspection lot can be created automatically at goods receipt posting. The inspection setup determines whether the inspection is to be performed on the basis of the specifications in the inspection plan and/or the material specification. The sample size for the current inspection lot is not determined in accordance with the specifications in the sampling procedures or on the basis of the inspection setup. In warehouse management, the goods receipt inspection is processed using inventory management. The system creates a quant on the interface and, depending on the system settings, creates a transfer requirement in WM. In SAP WM stock is managed in quants (definable quantities of a certain material) that are stored in the warehouse. When a material is placed in storage in an empty storage bin in WM, the system creates a quant for this storage bin. This means that the system assigns a quant number, which is automatically deleted when the material quantity is removed from storage.
Transfer Requirement with Inspection Lot, Which statement is correct? An inspection lot number is noted in the quant in the interim storage bin and in the transfer requirement. The system stores the interim storage bin coordinates in the inspection lot itself. The inventory management communicates with the WM System via the interim storage bin. The goods receipts and goods issues that are posted in inventory management reduce and increase the amount of stock in the interim storage bins. In the WM component, a transfer order (TO) is created for the transfer requirement (TR), to move the stock from the goods receipt area to the warehouse. A transfer order can be created automatically in the background, if the relevant movement type is set in Customizing for WM A transfer order has always be created manually, independant if the relevant movement type is set in Customizing for WM or not.
Storing Inspection Lots. If materials are being inspected, then the usage decision completes the inspection. The transfer requirements can be dealt with in different ways, depending on the initial situation. There are two possible scenarios: • The usage decision has already been made in QM. • The usage decision has not been made in QM. Which statement is correct? If the usage decision has already been made, the putaway transfer requirements are handled as though QM is not involved. The transfer requirement does not contain an inspection lot number. When the transfer order for the transfer requirement is created, no dialog box appears. If the usage decision has not been made, a dialog box appears when you are processing the transfer requirement. No statement is correct.
If the usage decision has not been made, a dialog box appears when you are processing the transfer requirement. This dialog box contains the sample quantity calculated by QM. You now decide what you want to do with this sample quantity in WM: Option 1: The sample quantity remains in the goods receipt area and the remainder of the inspection lot quantity is placed in storage. Option 2: The sample quantity is transferred to a sample storage bin and the remainder of the inspection lot quantity is placed in storage. Option 3: The whole inspection lot stays in the goods receipt area. Option 4: The sample quantity is transferred to the correct storage.
Usage Decision for the Inspection Lot. No irregularities were found during the inspection. You can use the usage decision to perform a transfer posting of the total quantity of the inspection lot (100 pieces) from inspection stock to unrestricted use stock. The stock transfer is performed on the basis of the usage decision and a posting change notice is created in WM. The transfer order for the posting change notice changes the stock category of the stock in WM (including the 10 pieces in the sample of the transfer requirement that is still outstanding) from “Q” (inspection stock) to “unrestricted-use”. This transfer order can be created automatically in the background. You still have an outstanding transfer requirement for the sample quantity. This transport requirement can be used to place the sample in storage. You don't have an outstanding transfer requirement for the sample quantity.
Important transactions for Warehouse Management and QM are: Create transport order: Logistics → Logistics Execution → Internal Whse Processes → Posting Change → Via Inventory Management → Transfer Order → Create → For Material Document (LT06) Create transport order: Logistics → Logistics Execution → Internal Whse Processes → Stock Transfer → Create Transfer Order → From Stock List (LT10) Confirm transport order: Logistics → Logistics Execution → Internal Whse Processes → Posting Change→ Via Inventory Management → Transfer Order → Confirm → Single Document → In One Step (LT12) Posting change notice: Logistics → Logistics Execution → Information System → Warehouse → Posting Change Notice → Document Overview (LU04) Total stock per material (Warehouse Management) Logistics → Logistics Execution → Internal Whse Processes → Bins and Stocks → Display → Total Stock per Material (Warehouse Management) (LS26) Total stock per material (Inventory Management) Logistics → Logistics Execution → Internal Whse Processes → Bins and Stocks - Display → Total Stock per Material (Inventory Management) (MMBE) Bin Status Report: Logistics → Logistics Execution → Internal Whse Processes → Bins and Stocks → Display → Bin Status Report (LX03).
Quality Inspection for Outbound Delivery. Which statements are correct? SAP ERP Quality Management (QM) supports sales and distribution processes by executing quality inspections for goods issues. The quality inspection for an outbound delivery is necessary to check the quality of material or product before it leaves the premises of the manufacturer or vendor. Usually, the department responsible for quality assurance at the manufacturing company performs a quality inspection to ensure that the goods are in perfect condition before they are sent to the customer. The QM inspection is not activated in the material master. If an outbound delivery for a material is created in sales and distribution, QM automatically generates an inspection lot for the delivery items relevant for inspection. The inspection lot is a request to Quality Assurance to inspect the goods. The inspection result can be stored in the system in different ways. If the goods are damaged, defect records can be created. Measured values or attribute codes are stored as characteristic results. You plan the type of inspection and how it is to take place in the QM master data. The usage decision completes a QM inspection. The inspected goods are accepted for use, or rejected. This is referred to as the Acceptance or Rejection of an inspection lot.
Quality Inspection Stage in Shipping. Which statement is correct? If the quality info record in sales and distribution is set up so that goods are only shipped after inspection completion, a positive usage decision must be made for an inspection lot before the goods issue can be posted. Therefore, only goods that have been accepted in a QM inspection can be dispatched. When an inspection is performed parallel to shipping, the posting of the goods issue does not necessarily have to wait until the usage decision has been made and the goods have been accepted. Quality control can also release the inspection result after the goods have been issued. An 'inspection by the customer' is not represented in our system; no inspection lot is created. Customers perform a source inspection of our goods at their own premises. The inspection lot is always created for the ship-to party.
Quality Info Record: Sales and Distribution. Which statement is correct? Basic settings define that the quality inspection is to be performed 'before delivery'. However, in QM you can define your own control data for a customer or a specific combination of material and customer (quality info record for sales and distribution) A prerequisite is the maintenance of the inspection setup in the material master record. An inspection type for delivery must be activated here, in order to trigger an inspection when the delivery is created. QM is also activated for shipping. You may not want to structure the inspection in the same way for each customer. This is why there are different specifications for different customers. You can define the stage at which quality inspection and therefore the usage decision should take place, if it is to differ from the default value. For example, must the material be released by QM before the goods are issued, or is parallel quality control possible. If you want to determine the stage at which quality control takes place differently for particular combinations of material and customer, you must store these specifications in the quality info record for sales and distribution. The quality info record for sales and distribution takes precedence over the customer specifications. You can also enter the delivery category in the customer specifications and the customer info record. In this field, you can define whether the vendor for the customer involved is only released for a preliminary series or for a regular delivery. This field is only used here for information purposes.
Quality Inspections for Each Usage. Which statement is correct? The 'usage indicator' can be set in the header or the item for the sales order. It describes whether this is a regular supply to the customer, or whether the goods are intended for a specific purpose. In QM, inspection plans describe what is to be inspected and how. If deliveries to the customer are intended for different purposes, then the QM system can provide different inspection plans. Often, for a model delivery, quite different characteristics should be inspected before the outbound delivery than for a regular delivery of the same material. If the appropriate settings are made in QM Customizing, each 'usage indicator' in sales and distribution is printed out as a 'delivery category' in QM. The inspection types, which the customers can define themselves, are based on this 'delivery category'. A plan usage is assigned to the inspection types. The plan usage can be defined inCustomizing and assigned in the inspection plan header. Inspection types must be activated in the material master record to be used for a material. For example, inspection plans with different task list usages are maintained for a material. A sales order is created with a usage indicator 'SAMPLE'. A delivery is created for the sales order and an inspection lot is generated. The system automatically uses the task list that is intended for a model inspection for a delivery.
The following settings for inspection types are required in the system: In Customizing, one inspection lot origin must be entered for each delivery type. One or more inspection types are assigned to each inspection lot origin. Different inspection types can be controlled using the usage indicator for the sales order (delivery category). An inspection type must me defined in material master.
Which are the prerequisites for Material and Inspection Plan The inspection types are entered in the material master. In Customizing, you can define your own task list usage for each inspection type. You can therefore inspect a substitute delivery of a material differently from a regular delivery. You can not change the task list usage in material master for the inspection types.
Which statement is correct for Batch Split? You can specify a batch in the order item for a material to be handled in batches, (whether a material is handled in batches is shown in the material master record on the screens Purchasing and Storage 1). When the sales order is delivered, the batch is copied to the delivery and can no longer be changed. If no batch is specified in the sales order, you can enter a batch in the delivery on the Picking overview screen. You must specify a batch at the latest when the goods are issued. You must use the batch split function, if the delivery quantity of an item is made up of different batches. You can always set the batch managed flag in material master.
Batches are split as follows: Manually on the batch split screen for the delivery item Automatically using automatic batch determination, when a delivery is created. (The automatic batch determination function must be active in the delivery item category) Using manually triggered batch determination on the batch split screen Using the Warehouse Management system You can not automatically make a batch split.
Batch Split and Partial Lots. Which statement is correct? An inspection for a delivery supports the processing of batch materials. You can process a batch for a delivery item in a single inspection lot or in several partial lots. If the person processing the delivery in SD determines that the delivery item cannot be fulfilled with a single batch, the item can be divided into several batches. In this case, the system automatically creates a partial lot for every batch if this is planned in the Control of Inspection Lot Creation setting in the materials master record. The partial lots are subordinate to the inspection lot at the delivery item level. The QM processes each partial lot separately. You must record inspection results and make usage decisions for the partial lots and the inspection lot.
Inspection results are recorded for each partial lot. You can make the usage decision for each partial lot ... A manual usage decision can be made for each partial lot. The partial lot usage decisions are made automatically when an overall usage decision is made. A manual usage decision can't be made for each partial lots.
Quality Inspection for Outbound Delivery. Which statement is correct? As of SAP R/3 Enterprise release 470x200 (PLM Extension 2.00), you can perform the quality inspection for an outbound delivery according to variant A or variant B. In the inspection setup, you can define if partial lots are to be formed in the case of a batch split in the outbound delivery, or if a dedicated inspection lot is to be created for each batch split item. In variant A, the inspection lot number is in the details of the main item of the outbound delivery. In the details for the batch split item, you can find both the partial lot number and the inspection lot number. There is no batch in the inspection lot header. In variant B, the inspection lot number is only contained in the details of the main item if the main item also has a batch. Otherwise, the inspection lot number is in the details for the batch split item. The batch is in the inspection lot header.
In the inspection types for the inspection lot origins 10 (delivery to customer with sales order), 11 (delivery to customer without sales order), and 12 (general delivery), the field for controlling inspection lot creation has been enhanced. You can make the following settings: One inspection lot for each main item: An inspection lot is created for the main item. A partial lot is created for every batch split item (variant A). One inspection lot for each batch split item: An inspection lot is only created for the main item if the main item has a batch. An inspection lot is created for every batch split item as soon as the batch is known. This setting only affects materials subject to management in batches (variant B).
Inspection According to Specifications for Batch Determination. Which statement is correct? An inspection according to the specifications from the batch determination is possible for the inspection types of inspection lot origin 10, 11, and 12. A prerequiste for this (among others) is the “Inspect by batch” indicator for the inspection type in the material. If you set this indicator, the specifications defined in the batch determination are taken into account for the quality inspection. These specifications have priority over those from a material specification or task list. The system only copies such specifications to the inspection lot, if a connection between the class characteristic and a master inspection characteristic exists. The system always copies such specifications to the inspection lot.
Configuration and Inspection Specifications. Make-To-Order Production. What is correct? The characteristics required by the customer are specified in the configuration in the sales order. The definition of the required characteristics by customer enables characterics for an inspection during production to be inspected according to the specification of the custoner The limits that are used for the inspection are not based on the configuration. When goods are shipped, a certificate can be included to document that the goods comply with the customer specification.
Configuration and Inspection Specifications. Make-To-Stock Production. What is correct? The product is manufactured and inspected according to your own specifications. Batch determination in the sales order or in the delivery can take place according to customer-specific requirements. An additional inspection can be performed for the delivery. When goods are shipped, a certificate can be included to document that the goods comply with the customer specification (for example, specifications from the batch determination or multiple specifications). The product is manufactured and inspected according to the vendors specifications.
Sales and Distribution Logistics - From Sales Order to Delivery. Which statement is correct? The characteristics are configured in the sales order and passed on using the logistics supply chain. If the material is manufactured internally, the characteristic specifications from the configuration can be used for inspection types of inspection lot origin 03 (in-process inspection for the production order) and inspection lot origin 04 (final inspection when the goods are received from production). Characteristic specifications from configuration are not considered in inspection lots for an outbound delivery. Characteristic specifications from configuration are considered in inspection lots for an outbound delivery.
Configuration and Inspection Specifications. Which statement is correct? Master inspection characteristics can be changed from a “required characteristic” to an “optional characteristic”. Additional characteristics can be generated in the inspection lot. The limits can be changed for existing characteristics. No additional characteristics can be generated in the inspection lot.
Characteristic Specifications: Which Takes Precedence? If characteristic specifications are used from the configuration, you must inspect with a task list and/or a material specification. If specifications from both the variant configuration and the task list or material specification apply to a particular characteristic, the specifications from the variant configuration take precedence over those from the task list or the material specification. Characteristics that are valuated for the configuration, but which do not exist in the task list or material specification, are also inspected.
Returns and Complaints Processing. What is correct? The complaint can be represented in a quality notification. All of the functions of the quality notification are available. A link to the SAP Business Workflow helps you to process the complaint. If goods are returned, no inspection can be performed at their receipt. Different follow-up functions can take place, depending on the result of the inspection.
SAP ERP Quality Management supports the process for returns and repairs processing (RMA – Return Material Authorization) alternatively using the functions for: Quality Inspection Quality Notification Quality Specification.
When working with quality notifications, you can use a customer complaint to: Enter a complaint in the system Initiate complaint-based returns Withdraw an existing complaint.
Repairs Processing Using Quality Notifications. You can use the Quality Notifications to support the RMA (Return Material Authorization) process in your company. For example, if goods are returned by a customer for repair or replacement because of a technical defect, you can use a quality notification to process the return delivery. You record the problem in a quality notification for a customer complaint (notification origin Q1) and then use the functions of the quality notification and integrated action box to: Create a repair order Post a goods movement to the appropriate stock so the returned items can be processed accordingly (for example, sales order stock, unrestricted-use stock, or scrap) Initiate a technical inspection (analyzing the defects and determining what corrective tasks need to be performed) Confirm the result of the technical check in the repair order and complete the notification.
Repairs Processing Using Quality Notifications. Which statement is correct? If the technical inspection confirms that the goods are in proper working order and repairs are not necessary, the goods can be returned to the customer If the goods must be scrapped, you can send replacement parts to the customer using the sales processes. Even if the technical inspection confirms that the goods are in proper working order and repairs are not necessary, the goods can't be returned to the customer.
Processing Quality Notifications. Which statement is correct? First, you create a quality notification for the customer complaint (notification origin Q1). You enter the required notification data and, if necessary, you enter a more exact description of the problem. If required, you create tasks to give immediate help to the customer (for example, issue a credit memo, trigger a substitute delivery etc). If the customer wants to return the delivered goods, you can create a repair order for the returned goods using the action box. You can enter a reference to the current quality notification (notification number) in the repair order.
Complaints Processing Procedure A customer complaint can be recorded in the following ways: You can create a notification with reference to an sales document (sales order, delivery note). In this case, further information, for example material number and customer, will be directly transferred to the quality notification. You can record a general description of the problem and save the notification. You can notify the Quality Assurance department using the SAP Business Workflow. You can't use the internet for complaints recording.
Posting the Returned Goods Depending on the settings in the material master (Quality Management view), an inspection lot can be generated when the returned goods are received. Which statement is correct? The return delivery is inspected. In this case, an inspection lot is automatically created at goods receipt. Prerequisites: – A repair order (sales order with repair item) exists for the returned goods. – An inspection type, which was assigned to inspection lot origin 05 (other goods receipt) in Customizing for inspection lot creation, is active in the material master for the returned goods. The returns are processed using a quality notification: – The goods receipt is posted with reference to the repair order. You can find the repair order using the notification number.
Processing Returns: Quality Notification. Which statement is correct? You perform a defect analysis on the returned goods and enter the defects in the notification. You use the results of the defect analysis to decide which corrective tasks are required. You can use the action box for the notification to post a goods movement, that is to post the goods to the appropriate stock (for example, unrestricted-use stock if no repair is required, blocked sales order stock if the goods must be repaired, or scrap). You can use the action box to confirm the stock posting in the repair order. The system sets an appropriate status in the repair order. If the goods must be repaired, the process for returns and repairs processing may be as follows: • You can create a service order for the repair. • You can send replacement parts to the customer. You can't create a quality notification.
Processing Returns: Quality Inspection for return batches. Which statement is correct? Instead of only using the quality notification to process the returned goods, you can create an inspection lot. The delivered goods are posted to inspection stock (Special Stock E, sales order stock). You record characteristic results/defects. This clarifies the reason for the complaint. The goods can be moved when the usage decision is made. The goods can be moved without usage decision for returned batches.
Repairs Processing Using an Inspection Lot. Which statement is correct? To process repairs, you can create an appropriate repair order for a customer from a notification. Processing can take place with an inspection lot (that is with a targeted inspection of the goods and a usage decision), or WITHOUT an inspection lot. If an inspection lot is used, the usage decision determines the next stage for the goods; if no inspection lot is used, a specific inventory posting can be made.
Which quality levels extist for the different dynamic modification levels for UD? On Inspection Lot level On Inspection Type level On Master Inspection Characteristic level On material level On vendor level.
