In QM in SAP following Quality Certificates are there -

1) Incoming Quality Certificate - You receive certificate for the material received from your
vendor. You can select control key in the vendor master stating the quality certificate
requirement. Then you may define quality info record for each vendor from which you procure
material. There you may define how the vendor sends you the material. Then in customization,
you may define enhanced certiifcate processing wherein your Quality personel can enter the
certificate receipt confirmation in transaction QC51. You may opt to select whether to confirm or
not the receipt of certificate at GRN in customization, thereby controlling the function in the hands
of quality personnel. If the stock of material is posted to quality inspection, then system will not
allow you to make usage decision & stock posting unless the certiifcate receipt is confirmed.

in quality. You can create the certiciate profile in QC01 & then assigne the inspection
charactristics, which you inspect in lot created after creating the delivery of the material. The
