Quality in procurement - Variant configuration in Material Management

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

I need to mention many Characteristic and the values in the Purchase Order [Eg. chemical composition ( Si, C,Mn, Ni, Cr ,N,Mn S, etc..) , Hardness of the material] which I am procuring from Vendor ] & After GRN I want to check the Chemical Properties of the material according to the specification that I mentioned in the PO.

Is it possible to give the values in PO by adding some class in the material master

Thanks in Advance

Srinivasan,

Iam not too sure about the inclusion of charatcteristics in the PO print out

I can tell you how to manage then fom QM point of view

In the material master-QM view

Maintain inspection setup-01

Then IN QP01 create inspection plan with require inspection charatceristics like -chemical composition ( Si, C,Mn, Ni, Cr ,N,Mn S, etc..) , Hardness of the material

In QA 32-result recording

You can record the observations for the characteristics you will maintain in QP01

Revert back if you have any doubts

Rewards point if useful

Where will I maintain the Characteristics value while sending the PO?

If the Specification of the Characteristics is lesser than specified then I want to

reduce the payment amount according to the Quality?

Hi srinivasan,

You can give it in purchase order text in P.O.

Srinivasan,

It is not clear whether the materials are batch managed.If so this is an ideal scenario for Batch specific Unit of measure with split valuation.

We have a similar situation where we valaute the batch based on compostion percentage using Batch specific unit of measure.

Srini,

Below query makes me assume you are talking about procurement fof variant configured product.If that is the case follow the two steps.

1) if you are initiating procurement on basis of sales order received u need not assign any values since the values chosen in the sales order will be copied to the purchase order. Normally this is the case in a third party scenario

2) if you are manually craetinga purchase order, click on the configuration button and assign values.

for both the above options VC settings have to be made in order to work.

cheers....IP
