QM Workflow For Material Setup

Here is the QM workflow for material setup from beginning (creation of new material number) to end (generate a COA for a shipment leaving the plant). This does not include Quality Notifications.

SAP QM Configuration

Most materials require Scenario One. Some materials also require Scenario Two. These two Scenarios together are the Business Process Flow from the initial material creation to the final shipment of finished product with associated QM documentation for the customer. 

Scenario One - Used for materials which require an inspection. This generally applies to in-process and finished goods materials. In some cases it applies to raw materials. The steps for the most part are listed in sequential order, although some parts may be optional for certain cases.

1.)  MM02 - Material Master, Storage View 

2.) MM02 - Inspection Type 

3.) CL01, CL02, CL03 Material Class 

4.) CL20N (CL20) - Allocate Material to Class 

5.) QS31, QS32, QS33, QS34 - Inspection Methods 

6.) CT04 - Class (or General) Characteristics (GC) 

7.) QS21, QS22, QS23 - Master Inspection Characteristics (MIC) 

8.) QP01, QP02, QP03 - Inspection Plan 

9.) QS61, QS62 - Material Specifications (obsolete) 

10.) C201, C202 - Master Recipe 

Scenario Two - Used for Materials which also require a usage decision, batch search strategy, and certificate of analysis (CoA). This generally applies to finished goods materials. The steps for the most part are listed in sequential order, although some parts may be optional for certain cases.

11.)  VCH1, VCH2, VCH3 - Batch Search Strategy 

12.)  QC01, QC02, QC03 - Certificate Setup 

13.)  QC15, QC16, QC17 - CoA Assignment                                  *-- Kubicek, James
