QM-Specific Data in the Material MasterPurposeThe Quality Management view of the material master primarily contains the control parameters you need to process quality inspections throughout the logistics supply chain. In the material master, you define various inspection parameters based on the inspection type (for example, triggering events for quality inspections, inspection with or without a task list, with or without a material specification and whether results are to be recorded for inspection characteristics). In addition, you enter the control data for QM in Procurement in the material master.
IntegrationQM-specific data in the material master plays a part in:
Managing quality information for materials, vendors and manufacturers. Certifying vendors and manufacturers, as well as monitoring their QM systems. Managing the release status of supply relationships, for example, for model or regular
deliveries. Evaluating vendors from a quality standpoint, using statistics from audits, goods receipt
inspections and problem notifications. Transferring quality documents, for example, technical delivery terms for requests for
quotations and purchase orders. Requesting quality certificates and monitoring certificate receipt. Triggering source inspections at the vendor’s premises before the scheduled delivery
date. Inspections for goods movements, such as goods receipts. Blocking payments until inspection lots are accepted. Managing stock that is subject to a quality inspection and taking into account inspection
lots in material requirements planning. Transferring inspection results to the batch classification. Determining batches using inspection results from quality inspections. Monitoring batches with regard to their expiration date and the date for recurring
inspections. Managing problems using quality notifications; processing complaints against a vendor.

For each inspection type, you can predefine a number of indicators and field values in Customizing. The system proposes these settings as default values in the inspection setup, but they can be changed.
10. If necessary, edit the following indicators and fields in the inspection type:
Detail of Inspection type
Field Name Description R/O/CPost to Inspection Stock
When a goods movement takes place, the quantity of the material to be posted is posted to inspection stock. If you do not set this indicator, the material quantity is posted to unrestricted-use stock.
R
Inspect with Material Specification
When you set this indicator, you can perform an inspection using a predefined material specification.If you set this indicator, you must also maintain the material specification for the inspection to be performed.
R
Inspection with Task List
If you set this indicator, the inspection is performed based on the task list.If you set this indicator, inspection lots can be processed for this material and inspection type. It is applicable to those inspections only which will be done without any Operation (Task).
R
Inspection for Handling Unit
Defines whether an inspection lot is to be created with reference to handling units.If you set this indicator, the inspection lot is created when:
Packing, if you are working with an inbound or outbound delivery.
Performing a transfer posting of handling units (for example, in the handling unit monitor).
O
Inspection Specifications from Configuration
If you set this indicator, the system takes the configurations from the sales or production order into account when inspection lots are created, and changes or supplements the inspection specifications in the task list or material specification.
O
Automatic Specification Assignment
If this indicator is set, the system tries to assign a task list or a material specification automatically.You can only set this indicator if either the indicator to inspect with a task list or the indicator to inspect with a material specification is also set.
R
Inspect by Characteristics
If you want to record results based on characteristics, you must inspect using a task list or a material specification.Characteristic-based results recording are a prerequisite for characteristic-based dynamic modification.
R
Inspect by Characteristics
If you set this indicator, you do not necessarily have to plan inspection characteristics in the task list. For example, you can also create unplanned characteristics directly in results recording. These characteristics are maintained in the order.
R
Sampling Procedure
This field is only used if you inspect a material without the use of a task list or material specification.If you enter a sampling procedure in this field, the system calculates the sample size on the basis of the inspection lot quantity.
O
100% Inspection
If you set this indicator, the system treats the inspection lot size as the sample size.If you define a 100% inspection for the material, you must manually valuate the inspection characteristics.
O
Inspection Percentage
This field is only relevant, when you carry out an inspection without reference to a task list or material specification.The total sample size is calculated on the basis of the percentage rate taken from the lot size.
O
Manual Sample Calculation
If you set this indicator, you must trigger the sample calculation manually in the inspection lot.When you carry out an inspection with reference to a task list or material specification.
O
Manual If you set this indicator, you must manually enter the sample size for O
Sample Entry the inspection lot.The indicator is only taken into account for an inspection that is carried out without a task list or material specification.
Dynamic Modification Rule
The dynamic modification rule defines inspection stages and the conditions that lead to an inspection stage change.
O
Skips Allowed If you set this indicator, skips are allowed for inspection characteristics during sample calculation.If you do not set this indicator, the system chooses the next inspection stage in the dynamic modification rule that is not a skip, instead of the skip defined in the quality level during sample calculation.
O
Automatic Usage Decision Planned
If you set this indicator, the system can automatically make usage decisions for inspection lots.
O
Serial Number Management Possible
If you set this indicator, single-unit inspection using serial numbers is performed for the inspection lot, provided that the material is marked as requiring a serial number by a serial number profile.
O
Average Inspection Duration
You enter the average inspection duration in days for each inspection type. The start or end date for the inspection is then calculated at inspection lot creation using the start or end date and the inspection duration.
O
Quality Score Procedure
The procedure used to calculate the quality score for the inspection lot. The data will be used for Vendor Evaluation.You can define a quality score procedure for each inspection type in the material master.
O
Allowed Share of Scrap
Allowable share of scrap for the quality score procedures that use the share of scrap to calculate the quality score.You usually choose a share of defects so that it comes to half of the AQL value.
O
Control of Inspection Lot Creation
You enter the conditions, under which a single inspection lot is to be created.Define “For each material document, material, batch, and storage loc”, the system will generate inspection lot for each GR.
O
QM Order Individual
If you set this indicator, an individual QM order will be created for this combination of material and inspection type.You can record appraisal costs for the combination material and inspection type in an individual QM order.
O
QM Order The number that uniquely identifies the QM order that is to be used for collecting costs.The QM order defined in the inspection setup (Quality Management view of the material master) is used as a copy model when inspection lots are created, provided no individual QM order is created for the inspection lot.
