The key elements of QM master data include material master records with a QM view, basic quality data like catalogs and inspection methods, and master inspection characteristics. Inspection plans define the inspection operations, characteristics, and test equipment for materials. The inspection plan structure is similar to a routing and plans are assigned to inspection lots by material, plant, vendor, and other attributes. This master data provides the foundation for quality planning and inspection processes in SAP QM.

QM specific master data (for example, master inspection
characteristics, inspection methods, sampling procedures)
Inspection planning functions (for example, inspection

details on QM Master Data:

Catalogs, Inspection Methods, Master Inspection

Inspection Plan
Objectives
42. Material Master - Summary
QM specific data is maintained at the plant level
For every inspection type appropriate indicators
are selected. Default settings for each inspection
type are set. Inspection type specifies how an
inspection to be carried out.
The inspection type is assigned to inspection lot
origin For the inspection lot origin, goods receipt
for PO, you can find the following inspection
types.
-Model series
-Preliminary series
-Production series
43. Inspection catalogs are created in QM module
Components of catalogs are
- Codes, Code groups, Selected sets & Codes
Unstructured Description of inspection results, observations, or
decisions made during inspection are coded to evaluate similar
information. Easy to evaluate such non numeric data in codes.
Evaluate descriptions such as cracked, dented, damaged,
defectives in terms of codes.These coded descriptions are
managed in catalogs.
Assign these codes to master inspection characteristic &
characteristics in the inspecti on plan.eg. Using code groups &
selected set codes.
Codes are used to record inspection results/defects/defect
location.
Codes are used to make usage decision and carry out
evaluation.
Codes for Task,Events,Causes, etc are used in notifications.

50. Inspection characteristic describes WHAT needs to be
inspected.
MIC can be either Qualitative or Quantitative and
intended for repetitive use.
Catalogs & inspection Methods are assigned to MICs
Defect Catalogs are assigned in case Defect Recording is
required.
Control Indicators defines the parameters for Result
recording of the MIC & Result analysis.

56. An inspection characteristic describes the inspection
requirements for materials,parts and products.
To standardize inspection planning, master inspection
characteristic can be defined.These can be used in
different inspection plans.
Where used lists and replacement functions support the
inspection planner in the maintenance of master data.
Changes are documented using version management.
Master Inspection Characteristics - Summary
57. A sampling procedure is a procedure by which the
sample size is determined for an inspection
Sampling procedures are defined at characteristic
level
Sampling procedures are maintained at client level.
Sampling Procedure
59. Sampling Type Valuation Mode
...defines how the sample
is determined
•Fixed sample
•100% Inspection
•Sampling scheme
• % based sample
…defines rules for accepting
and rejecting
•Attributive inspection based on
no.of nonconforming units/defects
•Variable inspection (s- method)
•Attributive code
•Manual valuation
•Mean value within the tolerance
•SPC inspection
Sampling Plan
•Sample size n
•Acceptance no. c
Independent of
lot size
Correlation sampling Type - Valuation Mode
60. A sampling scheme is an arrangement of sampling plans (in
sampling tables) for accepting the characteristics of an
inspection. A sampling plan defines the sample scope and the
acceptance criteria
Acceptance Number and Rejection Number serve as criteria
You assign a sampling scheme to a sampling procedure
Sampling Scheme
63. In order to adapt the inspection to the expected
quality level, the inspection scope can be modified
dynamically. The inspection scope is adapted to the
current quality level with the help of sampling
procedures and dynamic modification rules
SAP’s Quality Management (QM) module supports the
inspection planner in setting up and maintaining the
data needed for monitoring of quality levels. The QM
module also takes over the function of maintaining the
inspection history

68. When a quotation or purchase order is created, the system
checks whether a Q-info record is required and available for
the combination of material and vendor. A check is made to
determine whether the purchase order can be released
Specify a status profile for releasing the supply
relationships as well as the QM system of the material-
vendor combination in the Q-info record
Decision on whether to deactivate the goods receipt
inspection or perform a goods receipt inspection and/or
source inspections
Quality Information Record
69. Q Info record is maintained at material,plant,vendor
combination level.
Prerequisites:
1)Material for the plant is defined
2)QM in procurement with appropriate control key must be
assigned.
3)Vendor must exist in the system.
If a quality assurance agreement or a vendor release is
required,you must create a Quality Information record.The Q-
info record controls further processing of the material.
Prior to quotation/P.O creation ,system checks availability of
Q-info record.System also checks if vendor, material
combination is blocked or released for quotation/P.O/G.R
The Q-info record is created only after you maintain the QM
data in the material master.The master record for the vendor
must also be available.
Q - Information Record
76. Following data screens to be filled to create a Inspection plan
-Create Inspection Plan-Initial screen (T.Code QP01)
-Create Inspection Plan-Header Details
-Create Inspection Plan-Operation Overview
-Create Inspection Plan-Characteristic Overview
-Assign PRT to characteristic ifrequired
-Assigning Inspection Planto Material & Plant
-Assigning materials vendors/customers at the plant level
Preparation of Inspection Plan
77. Inspection Plan may not get assigned to the lot
-When more than one plan is available
-When there is no plan for the material
Go to the QP03 (display Inspection plan) & verify above.
If Inspection Plan is to be made
-Check whether available generic plan can be assigned,if yes,go
to QP02(change Inspection plan) of generic check list &assign
the same to the required item.
Assignment of the plan to the inspection lot
-Go to Inspection lot change
-Assign the appropriate inspection plan to the lot(by clicking
the next screen.Message indicating inspection plan is
revised.Sample calculated should appear).
Assigning an Inspection Plan to the Inspection Lot
78. An operation is carried out at awork center (a work operation or
inspection operation)
The work center is assigned to a cost center in the master record.
The output of a work center is valuated by cost rates.Cost ratesare
determined by the assigned costcenter and the activity types.
Inspection Plan- Work Center
79. Inspection Plan - PRTs/Test Eq
PRTs/Test equipments are assigned to Inspection operation and then to
inspection characteristic. The PRTS/test equipment can be printed on
the inspection instructions of the corresponding characteristic of a
Inspection Plan.
The PRTs/test equipment can be displayed in results recording.
The PRTs master data is maintained as material master data

81. Inspection Plan - Summary
The Inspection Plan and Routing have identical structure.
The inspection plan is selected by the system based on
material, plant, vendor,customer,group,group
counter,Task list usage &status .
The inspection plan is used to specify the inspection
operation,the characteristics to be inspected for each
operation and the test equipment to be used.
The Inspection Plan is assigned to inspection lot for every
Inspection Type The Inspection lot is created under each
Inspection Type for which Inspection Plan is assigned by
the system automatically or manually.
