VENDOR QM Systems

In the R/3 system, you can define different requirement models as target QM
systems and different existing systems as actual QM systems. In addition, for each
actual QM system, you define the most suitable target system.
You can valuate the various QM systems that are defined in the SAP System. This
valuation exerts no control; it serves as information only. For example, using this
valuation you can determine whether a valid certificate exists, the origin of the
certificate, or the score for the system audit.
For Example:
A customer wants a vendor to verify the existence of a QM system that complies with
standard ISO 9003.
The vendor has a certificate that states that his system complies with ISO 9001, with an
audit score > 80.
A comparison shows that in this particular case, both systems are equivalent:
Target QM system 9003 (ISO 9003, with certificate)
Actual QM system 1180 (ISO 9001, with certificate, audit score > 80)
Assignment Actual/target 1180 - 9003
You can assign an actual QM system with the identification skip which means that the
system does not create inspection lots for an acceptance inspection.
The requirements for QM systems are defined in the material master at the plant level.
The QM system that is actually present is defined in the vendor master at the client
level or in the quality info record for a combination of material/vendor at the plant
level.
In procurement (request for quotation and purchase order), the system checks whether
the vendor's actual QM system meets the target QM system's requirements for the
material. In doing so, the system uses the assignment list that you created in activity 3. If
the requirement is not fulfilled, the system responds as follows:
- Warning message for requests for quotations
- Error message for purchase orders
Before the setting the IMG in transaction OQB7, you should :-
1.Determine the requirements that exist for vendor QM systems in your company.
Note that such requirements may stem from the requirements of your customers.
Define the target QM systems in the table.
 2.Determine which actual QM systems your vendors use.
If you want to valuate these systems, define a valuation profile.
Define the actual QM systems and their valuation.
3.Assign the target QM system to the actual QM system whose requirements it
fulfills.
You must do this in the following steps:
a) Make all obvious assignments. For example, the QM system that conforms to
ISO 9001 also conforms to the
requirements of ISO 9003.
b) In those cases where you first have to check the specifications of the QM
systems and the certification
requirements, supplement the assignment list as necessary.

Vendor QM System -
Inspection Skip
1. In Quality Info (QI01) - to monitor vendor QM system I am maintaining the setting as "Inspection active if
vendor not certified" - but still the batch is coming in QA32 where Required QM (QM View of MM) = Actual QM
(QA Info) i.e vendor is certified.
- As per the seting it supposed not to come in quality - Pls Guide on this topic.

2. PO is possible for the material so we can say "Required QM (QM View of MM) = Actual QM (QA Info)"
otherwise error used to come which did not allow me to proceed further.

I maintained as follows:

a. In QM View of MM: 9001 (ISO 9001, with certificate)

b. In Q Info for the material: ISO 9001, audit note > 80

Is the above two QM system is not equal - if not then why PO was allowed?

In OQB7 T. Code we find that against One target QM System so many actual QM system is there. So how to
create skip lot adjustment when vendor is certified?

Solution:
In configuration:
Quality Management-->QM in Logistics-->QM in Procurement-->Define QM Systems
Then double click on "Actual QM System"

You should get display of the actual QM system values. You should see a column of check
boxes labelled "Cert.".

I suspect that this box is NOT checked for your choice of ISO 9001, audit note >80 which in
standard deleiveried SAP is Actual QM system 1180 is delivered with this check box OFF.

For you to get skip lot functionality I believe you need to check this box ON.
