1. What is certificate profile? What is the use of certificate profile in QM?

2. I have created certificate Profile using T-code. qc01 and assigned that to material with the help of QC15. Suppose I forgot that material No. and after some days I want to know for which material I have attached that cerificate profile.

COA Profile
A certificate profile controls inspection lot selection, the sequence of characteristics, and the characteristic data.COA Profile contains the List of MICs in desired sequence in which the result for them is supposed to be printed in the COA.

Within the certificate profile, you determine the selection and sequence of the characteristics whose results are to be documented on the certificate. You can vary the origin and representation of the data for each characteristic. You can also withhold certain information from the certificate, if, for example, you do not want to reveal a certain measured value.

At the header level of the certificate profile, you can define restrictions for selecting inspection lots and partial lots. For example, you may want to specify that only lots with a quality score of at least 80 are considered. At certificate creation, the system selects all inspection lots and partial lots for the material (and batch, if necessary) that meet the selection criteria and have a usage decision. The characteristics are then retrieved from the most recent inspection lot or partial lot in this list. (The lot creation date is the determining factor.)

In COA Profile, you want to know what are the materials assigned.
Here are the options available:
1. In COA profile QC02/QC03 screen there is a tab available named as "ASSIGNMENTS", just click on it and it will give you the details.
2 The best way is Run trx QC17. and know the list.

How to configure a certificate profile on QC01/QC02. In fact, I need to know how to make for the inspection results of the characteristics be printed under a form of a short text.

The steps for Certificate profile creation ( QC01) are:

- Assign a name to the Certicate profile.
- Select the Certificate type
- Assign a selected set (here you have to select a Form. The defaut one is: 
  QM_QCERT_01.
- Add a search field and short text (It´s as a reference),
- Press "Charcterisitc" bottom and add the characteristic you want to be printed in the quality certificate. The first column "Number" indicates the positions about the characterisitcs (sequence)
- By each char. select the "Result Selection level", "Short Text", "Insp Spec Origin", "Strategy for Skip"
