QM in Sales and Distribution (QM-PT-RP-SD)

Purpose

The Quality Management (QM) component supports Sales and Distribution (SD) by processing

quality inspections and creating quality certificates for deliveries. A quality inspection for a

delivery allows you to check the quality of a material or product before it leaves the

manufacturer's or vendor's premises.

Implementation Considerations

The Quality Management (QM) component supports your sales and distribution activities:

·       With quality inspections for a delivery (based on sales organization, customer, and material)
·       With quality certificates for a delivery (with reference to sales organization, customer, and material)
·       By managing customer terms of delivery

Integration

If a delivery is created in SD for a product or material, the QM component automatically creates

an inspection lot for the delivery items that must be inspected. A delivery item must be inspected

if the corresponding control parameters are active in the SD and QM components. The delivery

can be released for the goods issue posting, provided a usage decision to accept the goods is

made for the inspection lot.

When the system creates quality certificates, it accesses the data in Sales and Distribution (for

example, customer master and sales order), Quality Management (for example, inspection

specification and inspection results), and Materials Management (for example, batch

specification).
