clarifications in QM info record

[former_member184574]

Hi,

In the QM info record i have some issues...

A) In the QM info record in the insp. control tab we have Existing QM system and Vendor 's QM system.....what is the difference between these two......in what context they are used....

B) In inspection control we have three options 1. Inspection active, if vendor is not certified....2. no inspection 3. Inspection active, independent of vendor certification.

I understood option 2 but for option 1 and 3 where it is mentioned that vendor is certified in the vendor master XK03 or QM info record...... what is the place and field ...plz clarify......

C) We enter Target QM system  in mm03 in QM view .....what is the difference between Target QM system and actual QM system...in which context they are used and what is their impact in the QM procurement....

Can somebody throw some light on this....

Thanks

Kumar

Hi,

means we maintain Actual QM system in vendor master and we put Target system in material master..so system compares these two.. is my understanding correct.. if these things are not matching what will happen.....

In the QM info record we have again we have Existing QM sys and Vendor's QM sys ..

How all these are interrelated.....can you throw some light on this....

Thanks

Hi Kumar,

Vendor's QM sys. field is greyed out here. This actually shows QM System maintained in Vendor master record and Existing QM sys shows QM system maintained in QM info record.

If you do "F1" on both these fields you will see Existing QM sys is QSSYSFAM-QINF, which is a Transparent Table for QM info record data whereas Vendor's QM sys is from a structure which fetches data from Vendor master record.

Now for comparison part as I said in my previous post "Existing QM sys" (QM sys maintained in QM info record) will override QM System entered in the vendor master record. That means comparison will be in between Target QM sys and Existing QM sys.

If Existing QM sys is not maintained then vendor's QM sys will be considered.

If these things do not match, system will give you warning or error message (based on QM control key config.) while creating PO for this vendor.

I hope now its much clear to you.

Amol.

Thanks

Hello kumar,

1. In my system it is Audit score, I guess in previous versions it was Audit Notes and as its name suggests these are just Audit scores.

2. In target QM sys we have 9001, 9002, 9003; you can also create new target sys.

3. In Actual QM sys we have different QM sys for ISO 9001,9002,9003 with different audit scored etc. and only these Actual sys you get in F4 while maintaining QM system for Vendor. 

4. Suppose 1080 is maintained in vendor master record and 9001 in QM material master; if 1080 Actual sys is not assigned to Target Qm system 9001, system will give you an warning or error message as I mentioned in my previous post.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.. then what is this Audit score...do they have any significance or importance....or just for display or information purpose...

Thanks

Hi,

It is not for just display or Information, it depends upon your QA department how much Vendor audit score is acceptable to them.

So Audit score is nothing but the score of a Vendor audit done by your QA department. That is why it is a Actual QM sys at Vendor's end.

Hello Kumar,

First of all go through the below link, it will clarify most of the doubts u possess.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/en/d2/e72c7dd435d1118b3f0060b03ca329/content.htm

1.Material specific requirements for QM systems are defined in the MM02. QA will define which QM system is required for this Material.

2. In Vendor Master Record (MK03) Control tab> Reference data you can define Actual QM system for which Vendor has a Certificate.

3.You can also define QM system of a vendor in QM Info record >Existing QM System.

Remember QM System entered in the QM info record will override the QM System entered in the vendor master record.

now for Inspection control options 1 and 3 system will check QM systems maintained in Material Master and Vendor Master/ Info record and behave accordingly. System uses the assignments you maintained in QCC0>QM>QM in logistics>QM in Proc>Define QM Systems to check whether vendor has QM system which is required for Material.

Amol.
