Introduction to SAP QM

SAP Quality Management (QM) is an integral part of the supply chain and logistics functions and within the SAP system that controls the quality of products.  SAP QM is completely integrated with other SAP modules like Materials Management (MM), Plant Maintenance (PM) and Production Planning (PP).

Quality management is important to the warehouse, reviewing incoming material as it comes to the department and for manufacturing operations, where the quality of in-process items are checked during the manufacturing process and finished goods are reviewed before they reach the distribution center.

SAP QM it is used to perform quality functions such as quality planning, quality assurance, and quality control, at different stages such as incoming material stage, in-process manufacturing process stage, and after production as well.

Quality Management Components

SAP QM Module is one of the important modules of SAP. SAP Quality Management comes with four primary components are

  1. Planning
  2. Notifications
  3. Inspections
  4. Reporting


The quality planning supports your quality department to plan inspections for goods receipts from vendors and production, work in process, and stock transfers. A quality notification can be utilized to request action to be taken by the quality department.

That may be to evaluate an internal problem, an issue with items from a vendor or a customer complaint. The quality inspection is the physical inspection using terms determined in quality planning.

1.      Quality Planning

In SAP the quality inspection plans define how an item is to be inspected. The plan also defines how the inspection is to take place, the item features to be inspected and all the required test equipment that is needed for the inspection.

The inspection plan is an important part of the QM planning process. The plan decides which features of the item are to be inspected in each service and what kind of test equipment is required for the inspection.


2.      Quality Notifications

The quality notification shows a problem that is either recognized by a client against an item that is produced by your organization or by your organization against the product of a vendor.

A notification can also be raised inside to report a quality issue that has emerged on the production line or somewhere at the department.

You can assign a quality notification to current QM order to make a new order for the particular notification.

3.      Quality Inspections

A quality inspection happens when somebody in the quality department reviews an item as determined by the inspection planning functionality.

An inspection is depends on one or more inspection lots, where a lot is a request to inspect a specific item. Inspection lots can be made physically by a client or automatically by the SAP system. There are various events that can active an automatic inspection lot.

Most inspection lots are automatically activated by a development of materials, such as a goods receipt or a goods issue. But other events like the creation or release of a production order, the creation of deliveries, or a transfer of stock in the distribution center.

4.      Quality Reporting

SAP gives a number of reports for the quality management team. The material defect report can show the number of times an item has been in a defect status. The vendor defect report gives the number of lost material by a vendor.

By monitoring inspection lots for goods receipts, a quality department can highlight vendors who are supplying goods that often lose inspection. The customer defect report explains the defects that were found on inspections for outbound deliveries.

This is important as it can help get defects resolved which will improve customer satisfaction and customer service.
