Manufacturer Part Profile in QM

Purpose: The Materials Management (MM) component supports the procurement of manufacturer-specific parts or materials from different vendors. If you implement the functions for manufacturer part number (MPN) processing, you can also process goods receipt inspections for manufacturer-specific parts or materials in the Quality Management (QM) component.

We Can

◉ Block or release a request to deliver
manufacturer-specific parts or materials in a quality info record
◉ Waive the inspection requirement for
manufacturer-specific parts or materials (provided the vendor and manufacturer
have certified QM systems in use)
◉ Use manufacturer-specific inspection
plans to inspect the manufacturer parts or materials

1.Configuration Requirement

Create Profile Part Profile

T Code: OMPN

2.Assign this profile for Internal Material

Create Manufacturer Part in MM01

Part – 1

This is procured from 1st Manufacturer: MF-1000

Create Material with (Material Type- HERS)

Part – 2

This is procured from 2nd Manufacturer: MF-1001

Create Material with (Material Type- HERS)

3. Create APML list

If you wish to influence the precise source or quality of materials, you can tell the vendor from whom you want to procure a material which manufacturer the material is to be supplied by and the part number used by that manufacturer. You can also tell your vendor exactly which of a manufacturer’s plants is to supply the material you wish to procure. The manufacturer’s part number (MPN) and description, as well as the specific manufacturing plant (if applicable), with the help of APML List.

T Code: MP01

4. Create Q-info Record

Beacuse of certain quality reason we Block Manufacturer MF-1001 for creation of Purchase order.

5. PO

Then at the time Po Creation it gives the error as shown in below screen shot

Above screen shows that material is blocked for procurement for quality reasons.

This scenario conclude that Manufacturer quality is controlled by this way.

How to create customize inspection type

When an inspection lot is created, the system uses the inspection lot origin to determine how the inspection lot will be processed.

Suppose as per the business requirement inspection type will be use for the material for which result recording is not required and it will have the Post to inspection stock and Auto UD indicator active. I am creating customize Inspection Type Z01 which is a copy of 01.

1. SPRO > Quality Management > Quality Inspection > Inspection Lot Creation > Maintain Inspection Type.

Select the Inspection type 01 and Click on Copy.

Maintain the Inspection Type Z01 and Description.

2. SPRO > Quality Management > Quality Inspection > Inspection Lot Creation > Maintain Inspection Lot Origin and Assign Inspection Type.

Select the Lot Origin 01 and Click on Inspection type for the Origin.

Click on New Entries

Maintain Inspection Type Z01.

3. SPRO > Quality Management > Quality Inspection > Inspection Lot Creation > Define Default Values for Inspection Type.

Select the Inspection type 01 and click on copy.

Maintain the Inspection Type Z01 and field maintain here will have default value for the inspection type.

4. Assign Inspection Type to the Material.

Customize Inspection type will work only when Preferred Ins Type Indicator is activated.

Detailed information on inspection type Z01 will have default value as maintain in Define Default Values for Inspection Type.

Recurring Inspection process in SAP QM

Overview:

Recurring inspection means inspection of the material at regular intervals like every month, every year etc. The system can automatically create inspection lots at predefined intervals for selected batch materials. You can plan such inspections by having the system monitor the date for a recurring inspection. Recurring inspections are triggered by a report that you can execute manually or that the system can execute automatically (provided it has been planned as a background job). When recurring inspections are triggered automatically, the background job executes the report, which in turn selects the batches and creates the inspection lots according to your processing parameters.

Process Flow:

1. Activate Inspection type 09 in Quality Management View in Material Master
2. Inspection interval is Maintained in the Quality Management View in Material Master & Total shelf life in Plant Data / Stor.1
3. Next Inspection date is updated in the Batch Master record when the GR (against a Purchase Order/ against a Production order) is done
4. Execution of the Deadline monitoring Program – QA07
5. Automatic Inspection lot creation and Stock moved to QI
6. Results Recording and Usage decision of the inspection lot
7. Movement of the stock to Unrestricted Use.

Detailed Flow: 

1. Activate Inspection type 09 in Quality Management View in Material Master: This setting is mandatory to generate recurring inspection lots. In this example a Raw material (44502) and Plant 1000 is used.

MM01/MM02

2. Inspection interval is Maintained in the Quality Management View in Material Master & Total shelf life in Plant Data / Stor.1:

Inspection interval is Maintained in the Quality Management View in Material Master & Total shelf life in Plant Data / Stor.1 : this is to give the information about the frequency of inspection and expiry (SLED) about the material. In this example inspection interval is defined as 365 days as material is inspected after every year and expiry is 3 years (36 months)

MM01/MM02

3. Next Inspection date is updated in the Batch Master record when the GR (against a Purchase Order/ against a Production order) is done:

Create a Purchase order and make Goods Receipt against the Purchase Order through MIGO when the material is received

system creates a batch and system will update the next inspection date and SLED in the batch master record (MSC3N) as per the manufacturing date given during GR as shown below.  in our example date of manufacture is given as 13.10.2014.

Now save the GR and check in the Batch record for updation of SLED  and Next inspection date in T-code MSC3N. Next Inspection date is updated as 11.10.2016 (after one year of goods receipt date) as material is received on 12.10.2015. 

Now when the material is received initially, quality inspection done and stock posted to Unrestricted Use.

4. Execution of the Deadline monitoring Program – QA07: This transaction is executed on daily basis as a background job in the real time at Plant level. System will check for the next inspection date in the batches and if that date matches with current date then system will move the stock of the batch again to Quality inspection with generation of inspection lot for carrying out inspection for analysts in QC department.

In our case when this dead line monitoring is executed on 11.10.2016 system move the stock back to Quality inspection with generation of inspection lot as the next inspection date of the batch 11.10.2016 is reached. Select the option To insp.stock at lot creation to move the stock from Un restricted use to Quality Inspection on the selection screen on QA07 screen 

Now execute.

Now check for the stock of the batch in mmbe.Stock moved to quality inspection.

Now check in QA32 for automatic generation of inspection lot

Inspection lot created with 9 series to carry out inspection.
