QM Data Editing 

Purpose

If quality inspections are carried out during the manufacturing process, production and inspection operations are often very closely linked with each other. For this reason, the master recipe in the R/3 System also acts as an inspection plan for inspections during production. This means that the team in quality management (QM) completes the master planning data with a number of inspection specifications.

This section describes how you enter these inspection specifications while editing the master recipe.

Prerequisites

The following data has been created in the system:

Process Flow

  1. In the QM data for the recipe header, you specify:

Depending on the decision you make, you also edit parameters for inspection point processing and/or dynamic modification.

  1. In the QM data of the operations or phases, you specify for example:

Using order confirmation, you can provide the quantity of the last partial lot as a default value for goods receipt.
In process manufacturing, this usually makes no sense:

  1. You create the inspection characteristics to be checked in the respective process step for the operations and phases of your master recipe. For each characteristic, you specify the following:
  1. If you need test equipment to carry out the inspection, you check whether it has been defined as production resources/tools (PRT) in the system. If necessary, you add the missing master records.
  2. The PRT category you use depends on the business function of the production resource/tool (for example, PRT category "material" for production resources/tools you want to take into account in inventory management).

  3. You assign the production resources/tools to the operations and phases of your master recipe for which they are required as test equipment.
  4. You assign the production resources/tools assigned to the operations or phases to the inspection characteristics that require them as test equipment.
  5. If you have assigned more than one header material to your master recipe, you can assign different PRTs for each header material.

  6. You save the master recipe.
