LESSON 1: QM OVERVIEW
Lesson 1 Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
 Describe the three phases of QM
 Define an inspection lot
 Describe the QM inspection process
 Recognize log triggers
QM Process Overview
Figure 1 QM Process
QM Inspection Process
The data important for the quality inspection is contained in the inspection lot data record that includes:
 The lot quantity lot
 Sample size
 Origin
 Vendor
 Order number
 PO number
 Delivery number

•Record Results (Accept / Reject)
•UsageDecision
Evaluation
•Quality Notifications
•Quality Scores

of 67
The originating documents contain the inspection lot materials and may be any one of the following:
 Purchasing document
 Material document
 Order
 Delivery document

of 67
An inspection lot is assigned to a material.
Each inspection lot follows the same process regardless of the type of inspection (goods movements, returns,
etc.).
Figure 2 QM Inspection Process
An inspection lot is a request to perform a quality inspection for a quantity (sample) of a material. Inspectino lots
are data records and have statuses. Inspection lots are assigned to an inspection plan and may contain seeral
opererations that define inspection activities.
Each operation on the inspection plan may contain one or many inspection characteristics that describe what
needs to be inspected. Inspection lots can be triggered by the following events:
Business Process Event
Goods movements
Good receipts – Goods receipt for purchase order into the warehouse.
Transfer postings – Plant to plant moves.
Returns – Return from vendor or customer orders.
Complaints
Customer – Each customer complaint will be inspected.
Vendor – Each vendor complaint will be inspected.
Internal problems Defects – All defects will be inspected.

LESSON 2: MATERIAL MASTER QM VIEW
Lesson 2 Objectives
 Explain the master data used in QM processes
 Define inspection types
 Maintain and activate inspection types
 Assign a material to an inspection plan
 Display material master – QM view
 Additional material master transactions
Master Data
Accurate master data is one of the key factors for a successful SAP implementation. Master data is centrally
stored data that forms the base of all business transactions. The data is static in nature, meaning it does not
change when it used in a transaction. While the transactions themselves are dynamic and changed based on the
execution of the transaction, the master data itself used does not.
Master Data is the responsibility of a team dedicated to its creation maintenance to insure the data’s correctness.
This important task also reduces redundancy of data records across the entire company.
The main Master Data types ae shown below. For this course, we will focus primarily on Material and Vendor
Master Data.
Figure 3 Master Data Types
Material Master Data
Master data is created at different levels to accommodate its use by the various organization elements in the
company. For example, members of the procurement team work with information different from the data used by
the sales team. Master data is created at different organizational levels. Depending on the material type, different
functional areas within the company maintain different data screens. This screen selection applying specifically to
an application is called a "view".
Because of the large of amount of information contained in a single material master record, the viewing method
for a material employs multiple data screens. Depending on the material type, different functional areas within the
company maintain the different data screens. Basic data views are the same across all company locations. Other
views are specific for each plant location. Each material is created for at least one plant, but can be “extended” to
additional plants. When a material is extended to other plants, the plant specific data can then be changed from
plant to plant, if necessary.

of 67
Figure 4 Material Master Data
The Importance of Master Data
The accuracy of master data is essential to efficient performance of the inspection process.
Characteristics of master data include:
 Static
 Centrally stored and shared across other modules and systems
 Is copied into transaction data
Examples of QM master data include:
 Materials
 Inspection plans
 Master inspections characteristics
Material types in the SAP system can be, for example, finished goods, semi-finished goods, raw materials, or
services. The material type represents certain features of materials in the system, and has important control
functions: the material type is used, among other things, to group field selection functions for a material, or to
define the screen sequence, the type of number assignment and number ranges during material master record
maintenance.
The following material types will have active inspection types:
Material Type Description
FERT Finished Goods
HALB Semi-finished goods
ROH Raw Materials
Table 2 Material Types
Once and inspection type is created and activated, the material is assigned to an inspection plant.

of 67
The QM view of the material master activates quality inspection for a material within a plant and controls the
inspection process.
The material master settings control how materials will be inspected during the procurement process.
Catalog Profile
Each business unit has a catalog profile created. This profile is entered in the QM View and determines which
code groups and codes appear in the quality notifications for that material.
 ZCB – Char-Broil Codes
 ZLL – Lamplight Codes
 ZZB – Zebco Codes
The Catalog Profiles contain the name of the code groups and codes that should be displayed in quality
notifications for a material.
QM proc. active
Every item should have this box checked. It designates that there are QM functions active in the procurement
process. The specific QM functions that are active are determined by two subsequent items, the QM Control Key
configuration and the Quality Info Record
QM Control Key
Every item should ‘0000’ in this box. This means that there are no controling functions active in configuration. This
simply designates that a Quality Info Record should exist, and serves as a place holder for a different control key
if other functions are even implemented.
a. 0000 – No active functions
The QM Control Key can activate various QM functions in the procurement process. Control Key 0000 indicates
the requirement for a Quality Info Record.
There are two views for the QM view in the material master:
 The main view, which maintains general and procurement settings.
 The sub-view: Inspection Set-up where the various inspection types are maintained and activated (or
deactivated).

of 67
Quality Inspection Settings – Inspection Lots
Inspection lots contain the inspection types, origins, number ranges, and usage decisions for inspection plans.
Inspection Type Setup
Every item that is inspected will have certain inspection types activated to allow for the creation of inspection lots.
A material can have several inspection types maintained and activated based on the inspection process defined
for that material.
Inspection types define when an inspection is to be carried out (goods receipts or stock transfers) in addition to
how the inspection is to be carried out based on the settings for each inspection type.
The inspection type must be activated to have an inspection lot created.
Note: An inspection type can also be deactivated by deselecting the Active checkbox. From that date forward, no
inspection lots will be created for that material in that plant. However, the deactivation will have no effect on
existing inspection lots.
Type Description
01 This inspection type is used to ensure that stock goes into Quality
Inspection when received from a PO/Inbound Delivery. It is used in
conjuntion with inspection type 17 for receiving inspections.
ZLL01 This inspection type is a copy of 01 and is used to ensure that stock
goes into Quality Inspection when received from a PO/Inbound
Delivery for Lamplight specifically. It is used in conjuntion with
inspection type 17 for receiving inspections.
17 This inspection type is used to create inspection lots based on goods
receipts in the EWM system.
ZPSI This inspection type is used to create inspection lots for internal pre-
shipment inspections in SAP. These inspection lots are manually
created by inspectors in QA01.
ZLLPSI This inspection type is used to create inspection lots for internal pre-
shipment inspections in SAP specifically for Lamplight. These
inspection lots are created by a batch job running QI07 in the
background. This inspection type requires a Quality Ino Record to be
set up as well.
Z7 This inspection type is used by external vendors via the Vendor Portal
Pre-inspection App. It is used by the vendors to submit their own
inspection reports and should be active for any material that gets a
vendor report submitted.
ZRW This inspection type is used to create inspection lots after the goods
receipt from a rework production order.

Other Settings
Setting Description
UD Selected Set This is the name of the selected set of UD codes that is used when
processing the usage decision for an inspection lot with this inspection
type.
Selected Set in Same
Plant
This check box requires that the selected set used for the UD must be
set up in the same plant that the inspection lot exists in (a Char-Broil
inspection lot cannot be evaluated with a UD from Zebco).
Notification type This field determines the type of notification that is created
automatically at the time of defects recording within results recording
for the inspection lot.
Task list usage This setting determines what type of inspection plans will be called up
when inspection lots are created with this inspection type. This field
will match the task list usage field in the inspection plan.

The material assignment to an inspection plan is performed at the Header level in the inspection plan. An
inspection plan can have many materials assigned to it.
Once the inspection type is created and activated, the material must be assigned to an inspection plan. A material
can be assigned to an inspection plan by using the change transaction (QP02) and adding the material to the
existing assignments. If no inspection plan is available, a new plan for the material has to be created. We will
discuss creating an inspection plan in another lesson.

LESSON 3: SAMPLING PROCEDURES
Lesson 3 Objectives
 Display a sampling procedure
 Create a sampling procedure
 Change a sampling procedure
Sampling Overview
Sampling procedures are used to determine the scope of samples for measuring an inspection characteristic.
Sampling procedures are necessary to define the quantity of a sample and the valuation (accept / reject) for an
inspection characteristic during results recording.
An example of a sampling procedure is described in the following table.
Sampling Procedure Transaction Code: QDV1
Name 8 Characters (alpha / numeric)
Description 40 Characters (alpha / numeric)
Sampling Type Fixed Sample
Valuation mode Attributive inspection non-conforming units
Inspection Points Without inspection points
Sample Size 5
Acceptance number Zero

of 67
Sampling Schemes
Sampling schemes are used to determine the sample size for each characteristic that is evaluated during results
recording for an inspection lot. It determines a sample size based on the receipt quantity and determines
accept/reject numbers. These accept/reject numbers can be determined by AQL and inspection severity.
Sampling
Scheme
Description
Lot size This corresponds to the inspection lot size and determines the sample size and
accept/reject numbers for the sample size.
Sample size Sample size for an inspection characteristic at the given lot size.
Accept Number This number (blank for zero) determies the acceptance number for the sample
size at the given AWL and inspection severity.
Reject Number Determines the rejection number for the sample size at the given AQL and
inspection severity (blank for zero).
Sampling Procedure
A sampling procedure defines the rules that specify how the system calculates the sample size and it contains
information about the valuation of an inspection characteristic during results recording. Sampling procedures are
usually used at characteristic level of an inspection plan.
Sampling
Procedure
Description
Sampling Type Designates how the sample size is determined.
Value Mode Designates how to determine if an inspection characteristic has passed or failed.

Dynamic Modification Rule (DMR)
The DMR defines the change of the inspection stages, the dynamic modification time (at lot creation or after the
usage decision has been made), and the conditions for the inspection stage change. Inspection stage changes
occur on the basis of the inspection results that are recorded for inspection lots and inspection characteristics
(that is, on the basis of their acceptance or rejection). Collectively these rules make up the conditions for creating
SKIP LOTS in SAP.
The rules in the inspection stages are set with rules for advancing and reverting the inspection stage.
If you want to use a DMR and Sampling Procedures in the same inspection plan, their relationship has to be
explicitly allowed using SAP transaction QDB1.

LESSON 4: MASTER INSPECTION CHARACTERISTICS
Lesson 4 Objectives
 Define the different types of master inspection characteristics
 Explain the function of control indicators
 Define the hierarchy of catalogs and when they are required for an MIC
 Create and display an MIC
Master Inspection Characteristics Overview
Master Inspection Characteristics (MICs) are assigned to inspection plans at the operation level. MICs
standardize the inspection process and make it more efficient – one MIC can be assigned to many inspection
plants. It is QM master data that is created once and used long term.
A master inspection characteristic is an inspection characteristic, which has been defined for frequent use in t ask
lists or should be evaluated for all inspection plans. For example, if particular specifications are required in many
inspection plans, a suitable MIC is created and assigned to many inspections plans
 MICs help to improve and standardize inspection planning.
 When a master inspection characteristic is created, the characteristic type has to be defined. There are
two options:
 Quantitative characteristic: Numeric values are expected as inspection results (e.g. thickness in meter)
 Qualitative characteristic: Attribute values are expected as inspection results (e.g. color by color palette)

LESSON 5: INSPECTION PLAN
Lesson 5 Objectives
 Define inspection plan
 Explain the structure of an inspection plan
 Create an inspection plan
 Assign master data to an inspection plan
Inspection Plan Overview
Inspection plans describe how a quality inspection of one or several materials is to take place. The inspection
plan designates the sequence of inspection operations and the range of specifications available for inspecting
inspection characteristics. Inspection plans are defined at the plant-specific level.
Inspection plans are created to assign a material for quality inspection.
• An inspection lot must have a status of “REL” for it to be processed
• To display the status of an inspection lot: use transaction code QA03
• The inspection lot number can be found on the material document from the good receipt or by
using other transactions.
• WCB will use inspection plans for the quality check of raw material and are assigned to the
material when the inspection lot is created at goods receipt
• If a new material is created, generally only an assignment of the material to an existing plan is
necessary
• The assignment of an inspection plan to a material is important because it defines which
characteristics of a material has to be inspected
• If an inspection plan does not exist for a material, a new plan has to be created for the material

of 67
Inspection Plan Structure
The inspection plan group represents the material group in SAP and plan group counters are used if materials
have different units of measure. This is necessary because the unit of measure in the plan header must match the
unit of measure of the material assigned.
Inspection Plan Header
The inspection plan header defines settings that apply to the entire inspection plan.

of 67
 The inspection plan usage ties this inspection plan to a specific inspection type(s). The task list usage
defined for an inspection type will cause an inspection lot to call an inspection plan with the same usage.
 Inspection Plan Unit of Measure – The inspection plan unit of measure designates what the unit of
measure can be for any material on the inspection plan. In order to use an inspection plan, a material
must have that unit of measure as its base unit of measure, or there must be a conversion from the
material’s base unit of measure to the inspection plan usage maintained in the alternate unit of measure
are of the material master.
 DMR level – The dynamic modification level determines whether inspection stage changes (and skip lots)
are determined by acceptable results at the inspection lot level, the inspection characteristic level, or the
inspection type level. Char-Broil and Zebco will use the inspection lot level.
 DMR – This field links the inspection plan to a previously created dynamic modification rule.

Inspection Plan Operation Level
Inspection plan operations allow for the sequencing of inspection activities, similar to a routing. Inspection
characteristics are assigned to an inspection plan operation.
Inspection Characteristics
Within each operation in an inpection plan there are inspection characteristics. These can be direct references to
master inspection characteristics, or these can be set up uniquely in the inspection plan. All settings that are
available in a master inspection characteristic are available and editable for an individual inspection plan.
Characteristic Description

Engineering Workbench
The engineering workbench is a mass maintenance tool for inspection plans. The engineering workbench uses
the object-oriented approach and includes all of the object types that belong to an inspection plan. Object types
can be combined to form complex search criteria resulting in a very specific work list. The work list allows
changes to be made at one time and will lock the inspection plan until the changes are saved.
You use the inspection planning functions to define inspection criteria (for example, material to be inspected, how
the inspection is to take place, characteristics to be inspected, required test equipment, work center and
inspection specifications). The system contains the following inspection planning options:
You can use task lists (inspection plans, routings, rate routings, and maintenance task lists) to define inspection
characteristics, their assignment to inspection operations and the test equipment to be used. This enables you to
inspect materials at a quality inspection.
Additional transactions used for inspection plans include:
QP03 Display inspection plan. Use this transaction to display all
inspection plans for a plant / material.
QP60 Task list changes. This transaction displays all changes to an
inspection plan based on selection criteria.
QP61 Display change documents for inspection plan

Quality Info Records
Quality info records are used to document the quality relationship between a vendor and the material they supply.
These records are maintained at the plant level and have various functions in QM in procurement. Zebco will use
quality info records to document the supply relationship with vendors and have them in place for future
considerations. Use transaction QI02 to make changes to the quality info records for procurement.
The Release tab displays details about quantities and blocks.
The Insp. control tab displays vendor details and lead time information.
Field Description
Release Until Used to release the vendor relationship until the specified date. If the vendor
control function is active, purchase orders to this vendor are prevented if the
current date is after the release until date.
Source
Inspection
Designates which inspection type is used when source inspection lots are created
by SAP. This field will only be used by Lamplight.
Lead time This field determines how many days before the the PO line item delivery date a
source inspection lot should be created. This field will only be used by Lamplight.
Vendor Contact Persons
Vendor contacts will be used to store the name and email address of the person at a vendor who should be the
recipient of the inspection report generated when a usage decision codes ending in the letter S is applied to an
inspection lot. Use MAP2 to make changes to partner details.

of 67
The Function field is used to indicate that this contact is the one that should be used to supply the email address
for the inspection report.
Code Groups and Codes
The SAP QM application utlizes codes in various areas for documentation and reporting purposes. The codes
were loaded as part of the data migration based on legacy data provided by the businesses. The codes visible to
each business are determined by their inclusion in a catalog profile assigned in the QM View of each material.
Use QS41 to make changes to code groups and codes.
2 – Task Codes
Task codes are used in quality notifications to document the specific tasks that are required and tracked in the
completion of an issue related to a vendor, product, or customer. Tasks are assigned at the header (general) level
or at the defect (item) level. Tasks can be assigned to vendors and accessed through the vendor portal, or assign
to users and accessed in SAP GUI.
3 – Usage Decision Codes
Usage decision codes are used to evaluate and close an inspection lot. Genreally they reflect an ac ceptance or
rejection of the inspection lot. For Char-Broil, Lamplight, and Zebco, the usage decision will drive the stock type
(unrestricted or blocked) in the warehouse, and will also designate inspection lots that should generate an email
report to vendors. Any code that ends in the letter S will cause SAP to automatically send a report to the related
vendor when it is applied as the usage decision for an inspection lot.
5 – Cause Codes
Cause codes are used in notifications and are applied specifically to individual defect codes to document the root
cause of the defect.
9 – Defect Codes

of 67
Defect codes are used in notifications to document the specific defects that are found in a material. These are a
very important piece of information as these codes are used in reporting to determins specific and recurring
problems with products, vendors, or customers. Defects can be tied to location codes, cause codes, and task
codes.
D – Coding Codes
Coding codes are assigned at the header level of a notification to provide an additional level of classification
about the issue.
E – Defect Location Codes
Defect location codes are used to document where on the product a defect was found. This codes are available to
all businesses but are most extensively used by Char-Broil.
Selected Sets
Selected sets are created to combine code groups and codes into a single group for use within a specific area.
For Char-Broil, Lamplight, and Zebco, selected sets will be used to determine which usage decisions codes are
available for a given inspection type. Selected sets are set up at the plant-specific level. SAP transaction QS51 is
used to make changes to selected sets.
Selected sets are tied to inspection types in the inspection type configuration.

of 67
Quality Notifications
Quality notifications are used to document quality issues with a product, a vendor, a customer, or a combination
of the three. Notifications capture data like issue descriptions, long text, material number, plant number, defects,
tasks, causes, etc. Notifications can be created directly from results recording for an inspection lot.
The following notification types are available for Char-Broil, Lamplight, and Zebco:
Notification Type Description
F1 – Customer related defects There are no current processes utilizing this notification type, but it
is available for future considerations.
F2 – Vendor related defects This notification type is tied to inspection types 01, ZLL01, 17,
ZPSI, and ZLLPSI and documents quality issues experienced in
vendor related inspections.
F3 – Material related defects This notification type is tied to inspection type ZRW and
documents quality issues related to post-rework inspections.
Q1 – Customer Complaints There are no current processes utilizing this notification type, but it
is available for future considerations.
Q2 – Vendor Complaints This notification type is created manually to document issues
related to vendors that are not discovered as part of an inspection
lot processing.
Q3 – Internal problem This notification type documents issues encountered internally
outside of an inspection process.
ZC – Char-Broil Deviation
Request
This notification type is created via the vendor portal for vendors to
submit deviation requests.
ZL – Lamplight Deviation Request This notification type is created via the vendor portal for vendors to
ZZ – Zebco Deviation Request This notification type is created via the vendor portal for vendors to
Notification statuses and selection profiles are maintained by configuration specialists and display the information
about how notifications will display during the QM processes.

LESSON 6: VENDOR PORTAL
Lesson 6 Objectives
 Define the vendor portal master data
 Describe the pre-inspection app
 Explain how tasks are assigned and maintained
 Report on the vendor portal
Vendor Portal Overview
The vendor portal is an application that can be used by vendors to log quality complaints and is made up of the
following components for QM:
 Pre-inspection App
 Quality Tasks App
 Deviation Management App
 Inspection Report Email Program
These components will help WCB and vendors identify and resolve issues quickly and effectively.
Vendor Portal – Pre-inspection App
The pre-inspection application in the vendor portal is designed to allow vendors to submit inspection reports
directly into the WC Bradley SAP system. The vendors will access PO line items via the application and create
inspection lots within the SAP system. These inspection lots will have inspection type Z7 and do not require
results recording. They will stay in released status (REL) for 24 hours, after which time SAP will make an
automatic usage decision for them via a batch job.
Vendors are assigned to a quality engineer and will report purchase orders to that quality engineer using the
vendor portal.
Vendor Portal – Quality Tasks App
The quality tasks application in the vendor portal is designed to allow vendors to see and process tasks that are
assigned to them in quality notifications within the SAP system. Vendors can submit text notes, attach documents,
and set tasks to complete status (TSCO).
In order to see quality tasks, the task in the notification must be assigned to the correct vendor number in the
notification.
Vendors will see quality tasks that need to be addressed in the vendor portal.
Vendor Portal – Deviation Management App
The deviation management application in the vendor portal is designed to allow vendors to submit deviation
requests directly in to the SAP system. The deviation request is submitted via a notification type (ZC – Char-Broil,
ZL – Lamplight, ZZ – Zebco).
Vendors will submit deviation requests in the vendor portal.
Vendor Portal – Inspection Report Email Program
The inspection report email program is designed to send an email to the reference vendor for an inspection lot.
This program finds all inspection lots that have a usage decision code that ends in the letter S and generates an
email which is sent via SOST. The variant for the batch job that runs the program will limit the selection to

of 67
inspection lots with a usage decision date of the current date and a usage decision time within the last 30
minutes. The batch job will run every 30 minutes. The email will have the following attachments:
 the standard SAP inspection report
 Any files attached to the inspection lot via the generic object services function.
In order to function properly, the reference vendor must have a contact person created in transaction MAP1 with a
function of ZQ to designate that contact as the recipient of the email report. The contact person must have a valid
email address.

of 67
LESSON 7: BATCH JOBS
Lesson 7 Objectives
 Define the batch jobs used for quality management
 Maintain the inspection report
 Maintain automatic usage decisions
Batch Jobs Overview
Batch jobs are utilized to tell the system how often to report certain quality management reports.
 Inspection report
 Automatic usage decision
Inspection Report
A batch job runs the inspection report email program. There is one batch job for each plant that does inspections
and sends reports to vendors. The interval for this batch job is every 30 minutes, and the pulls in all inspection lot
numbers for a specific plant with a UD (usage decision) date equal to the current date. The program populates the
time fields to select inspection lots from the last 30 minutes.
Automatic Usage Decision
A batch job makes usage decisions for inspection lots with inspection type Z7 because these lots are submitted
by the vendors and WCB users will not be directly processing them. The transaction to set up the automatic
usage decision job is QA17. One batch job is set up for each plant that has vendors submitting inspection reports
using Z7 inspection lots.

APPENDIX – END USER PROCEDURES
Lesson 1: Display Inspection Lot (QA03)
No EUP
Lesson 1: Display Material Master QM View (MM03)
Material Master Processing
Use this transaction to display a material master record. The material master contains information for all the
materials that a company procures or produces, stores, and sells. The material master is used by all components
in the SAP logistics system:
 In Purchasing for ordering
 In Inventory management for goods movement postings and physical inventory
 In Invoice verification for posting invoices
 In sales and distribution for sales order processing
 In production planning and control for material requirements planning
The data in a material master record can be divided into two categories:
 Data of a purely descriptive nature, such as name, size, or dimension
 Data that system uses to perform control function, such as MRP type control, and price control
The Material Master is maintained at different organization levels such as client, plant, and storage location.
A Material Master record is created in following cases:
 If no material master record exists for a particular material. In this case, you must create the material master
record.
 If a material master record exists for a particular material, but the master for your department is missing. In
this case, you must extend the material master record.
 If a material master record exists for a particular material and the master data for your user department is
entered, but not for the appropriate organizational level. In this case, you must extend the material master
record.

Lesson 5: Create Inspection Plan (QP01)
Create Inspection Plan
The inspection plan is the task list used by the Quality Management (QM) component to process quality
inspections. Inspection plans are used to carry out such production-related tasks (for example, inspecting goods
upon goods receipt or goods issue). Quality inspections during production are carried out on the basis of the
routing. This end user procedure covers the use of inspection plans for quality management applications.
The inspection plan structure mirrors the structure of the routing in the Production Planning (PP) component.
The plan consists of the following elements:
 General information (header)
 One or more operations; operations within the QM component are created and maintained exactly as
those within the Production Planning (PP) component. For information about operations, see the
online documentation for PP Production Planning.
For each operation you can define
 Test equipment used for the inspection (as production resources)
 Location where the inspection takes place (as work centers)

Tips and Tricks
 You can assign one or more materials to an inspection plan.
 Providing you do not use master inspection characteristics in the plan, you can assign different characteristic
values for each material for an inspection characteristic. These are known as allocation values for an
inspection characteristic.
 Inspection characteristics (inspection characteristics cannot be assigned to a sub-operation).
