SAP Quality Management (QM) –
Basic to Advanced
What is SAP QM and what processes does it support?
SAP QM is a module for managing quality in processes such as procurement, production,
and sales. It supports inspection, quality planning, quality control, and quality notifications.
What is an Inspection Lot?
An Inspection Lot is a record created for quality checks. It includes the material, quantity,
inspection type, and criteria used to inspect and record results.
What are Inspection Types?
Inspection Types define how and when an inspection is triggered (e.g., at goods receipt,
during production, or before delivery). They control inspection lot creation.
What is the purpose of an Inspection Plan?
An Inspection Plan defines how a material is to be inspected. It includes operations,
inspection characteristics, and sampling procedures for consistent checks.
What is a Usage Decision in QM?
Usage Decision is the final decision after inspection (e.g., accept, reject). It determines
whether a material is moved to unrestricted stock or blocked/rejected.
What is the role of Master Inspection Characteristics (MIC)?
MICs define the specifications and criteria used in inspection plans. They standardize what
is measured and help in consistent quality checks.
