SAP QM - Overview
AP QM (Quality Management) is an integral part of several key
business processes of SAP like production, sales, procurement,
material management, etc. This training module will explain you
various QM inspection stages step-by-step and how to invoke this
process automatically.
Introduction to SAP QM
SAP is an enterprise-wide Business Software Package designed to
integrate each area of a business.
There are many modules in SAP like SAP SD, MM, PP, QM,
FICO, PM, WM and HR, etc. which are interconnected with
each other.
Quality planning
Quality assurance

SAP HANA Quality Management (QM) overview
========================================================
SAP Quality inspection is performed through inspection lot
processing. During this process quality results are captured,
and usage decision is taken to accept or reject the
inspection lot.
Quality control

SAP HANA Quality Management (QM) overview
========================================================
"In process inspections" are not relevant to inventory whereas
inspection after production involves stock posting from quality to
other stock categories.
3. Quality Notifications
In this process, you can see how defects found during a quality
inspection are analysed and captured in a SAP quality notification.
Benefits of SAP QM
SAP QM provides lot of benefits for any company at various levels,
for example through:
Next, we will look into each phase of SAP QM and learn how to
operate SAP QM module.
Master Data in QM
Within the SAP Quality Management module and for other SAP
applications we need to maintain the data pertaining to inspection
planning and inspection lot processing.
3
SAP HANA Quality Management (QM) overview
========================================================
Before you create an inspection lot and record inspection results,
basic SAP master data for inspection planning should be
maintained.
a) Quantitative
b) Qualitative
4
SAP HANA Quality Management (QM) overview
========================================================
Qualitative characteristics are used to record the results of
Attribute inspection like "Ok" or "Not ok".
Inspection Methods
Inspection method can also be created in one plant, and the same
can be used in the inspection plan for another plant by using the
original plant of inspection method.
Sampling Procedure
Inspection Plan
In this SAP master, we will maintain the quality system for the
combination of vendor and material.

SAP HANA Quality Management (QM) overview
========================================================
Quality information record need to be maintained if we would like
to use the source inspection functionality which means, materials
will undergo an inspection prior to the material reaches the plant
for Goods Receipt (GR).
To list Inspection lots, you may use the transaction code QA33.
The search criteria can be

========================================================
1. Material (s)
3. Inspection dates
4. Plant
5. Inspection type
6. Batch
7. Vendor
If only one inspection plan with task list type '05' (Goods
receipt inspection) is available for the material in released
status, the SAP system automatically assigns the plan to the
material. If more than one inspection plan exists for the
material, we have to,

SAP HANA Quality Management (QM) overview
========================================================
For quantitative data, based on tolerance limit (upper and
lower), the SAP system will propose the valuation. In both
cases, the inspector can accept or reject the proposal
(Manually).
Usage Decision
Stock posting
1. Unrestricted usage
2. Blocked
3. Scrap
4. Different material
5. Sample
6. Return to vendor
In-Process Inspection
In-process inspection (time-based) is used for recording the result
for an in-process quality check for the intermediate and finished
product during the production process.
9
SAP HANA Quality Management (QM) overview
========================================================
Inspection lot will be generated at the time of production order
release. The inspection type for in-process inspection is '03'.
NOTE: This type of inspection will not control the inventory, but
control the production process.
To list Inspection lots, you may use the transaction code QA33.
The search criteria can be,
1. Material (s)
3. Inspection dates
4. Plant
5. Inspection type 03

Result recording

SAP HANA Quality Management (QM) overview
========================================================
All the characteristics will be shown in the SAP recording screen
for input. The SAP system will give an f4 search for getting code
values for attribute inspection.
Usage Decision
Final Inspection
Inspection against Production GR- this inspection will be based on
production confirmation against a production order.
The inspection lot (with inspection type 04) will be created at the
time of Good receipt against production order.
The SAP system will generate a unique inspection lot which will
have the information of production order, Inspection specification
and sampling.

sampling details.
To list Inspection lots, you may use the transaction code QA33.

Quality Notification
SAP QM Quality Notification contains functions for capturing and
processing different types of problems or defects which are
identified during inspection (for example, defects resulting from
poor-quality goods).
13
SAP HANA Quality Management (QM) overview
========================================================
In particular, the SAP QM notifications can help you to process
internal and external problems such as:
Company-internal problems
Capture all activities and tasks that have been carried out
for the problem rectification.
