Quality Management
Quality Management Module deals with all
Features
The QM application component supports tasks associated with quality planning, quality inspection and quality control. In addition, it controls the creation of quality certificates and manages problems with the help of quality notifications. The following components are available in QM: Basic data (for example, material master, catalogs, inspection characteristics, inspection methods and sampling procedures). Inspection planning (inspection plans, reference operation sets, material specifications). QM in procurement. QM in sales and distribution Inspection lot processing (inspection lot creation and inspection lot completion) Results recording Defects recording Sample management Quality Information System Dynamic modification of the inspection scope Quality certificates Quality notifications Test equipment management

Quality Planning
Quality planning enables you to manage basic data for quality, inspection planning and material specifications. The integration of the Quality planning component in the SAP system allows quality planning tasks to be combined with those of other components such as materials management, batch management, inventory management, variant configuration and cost accounting. Quality inspection covers the following functions: Master data management (material master, catalogs, selected sets, master inspection characteristics, class characteristics, inspection methods, sampling procedures, sampling schemes, dynamic modification rules, sample-drawing procedures, QM work centers). Inspection planning (inspection plans, reference operation sets, material specifications).
Quality Inspection
This functional capability is used to constantly check the quality of the companys products. Therefore the inspection plans and characteristics are used. The inspection process mainly consists of the following four steps: Inspection can be triggered at a number of inspection origins: Inspection lot creation: in SAP QM, all quality inspections are based on inspection lots. These can be triggered manually or automatically (e.g. at goods receipt from a purchase order, at goods issue of a component, at a certain operation during production, etc.). The lots contain specific information about the inspection size (e.g. based on the sampling procedure), inspection characteristics and methods from the inspection plan or material specification, etc. Results Recording: After inspecting the products, the quantitative (e.g. width/height of a product) and/or qualitative (e.g. color of the product) results of the predefined characteristics can be directly recorded in the inspection lot. Defects recording: Defects can be recorded additional to the results recording. These defects are also referenced to an inspection lot and contain information about any attribute of a material/product/process that deviates from the defined characteristics. The defect recording can be based on standardized codes that can be taken from the predefined inspection catalogs. Inspection lot completion: A completion of the inspection lot is necessary after results recording to finally decide about the usage of a material. Depending on the usage decision, stock postings are performed (e.g. to unrestricted-use stock, blocked stock, scrap, etc.). The usage decision also influences the quality level and the quality score of a material or inspection lot
Task Details
Enter the Task info and Lot size of the Materials and click on operations
Operation overview
We can create the inspection lots automatically or manually and how you use the inspection lots to process different types of inspections.
Once an inspection lot has been created, you can inspect the goods, record the inspection results or defects, and complete the inspection with a usage decision.
Inspection Lot
Create a inspection lot QA01 (Transaction code)
Enter the Material and plant details, with the Inspection lot origin and click on Enter
Note:The system uses inspection lot origin and the inspection type to determine how an inspection lot will be created and processed. The inspection lot origins are predefined by SAP in Customizing for Inspection Lot Creation. You cannot define your own inspection lot origins.
Once you click on Enter in the Previous screen. The message will be displayed as below.
Result Recording
Results can be recorded by using change inspection lot creation or through defect screen. Change Inspection lot: QA02 (Transaction code) Record Defects : QF01 (Transaction code)
The report category defines the form and content of the defects data. It links a catalog profile (schematized value list) to a confirmation profile (recording form). The defects data is recorded on the basis of report categories and stored in the form of quality notifications.

Quality Notifications
Quality notifications are used to process and document quality related problems within a standardized process. Quality notifications consist of basic header data such as material, reference documents, batch numbers, etc. and detailed information about the problem/deviation. Additionally to that, tasks and activities can be tracked to support an internal CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Actions) process. Notifications can e.g. be used for: complaint against a vendor internal problems (material error, etc.) complaint from a customer

Quality Certificates
Quality certificates document the following of certain quality requirements. They are mostly used during the collaboration with suppliers or subcontractors (incoming certificates) to document the quality standards of incoming goods or when acting as a supplier, to document the companys quality standards themselves (outgoing certificates). Quality certificates can guarantee: the following of certain manufacturing / quality processes the execution of predefined inspections. These can be either defined by norms (e.g. GMP: Good Manufacturing Processes), law, customers, ... defect-free inspection results for a delivery, assigned to the quality certificate

SAP Reports
Reports are collection of records that are helpful for arriving at important decisions.
Reports can be filtered based on requirements parameters. For e.g., TCode MM60 we can filter based on Material ans Plant or Plant or Material or it can even be a blind filter.
