Creating a QM Order for a Notification (SAP Library

Creating a QM Order for a Notification

Prerequisites

Before you can create a QM order, make sure the following conditions have been met:

The Controlling (CO) component is active in your company.

The following QM order parameters are defined in Customizing for Notification Processing:

Quality notification type*

Plant number*
Order type (QN01 for nonconformity costs)
Business area (optional)
Account assignment (cost object for debiting the costs; for example, cost center, sales order)

Note

The parameters marked with an asterisk above must be maintained in Customizing for Notification Processing. If the remaining parameters are not defined in Customizing, you can enter them in a dialog box when you create a QM order for a quality notification.

Before you create a QM order, you can specify that you want to change the default account assignment data. You do this by setting the Spec. SR indicator (special settlement rule) in the Costs block of the notification.

Procedure

Call up a quality notification in the create or change mode.

Note

If you want to change the default account assignment data, set the Spec. SR indicator. When you choose the menu option in step 2, the system branches to the screen for maintaining the settlement rule in the CO component before it creates the QM order.

Choose Notification ® Functions ® Order ® Create.

The system responds in one of the following ways:

If all of the required QM order parameters have been maintained in Customizing, the system creates the QM order directly.

If the QM order parameters were not completely maintained in Customizing, the system displays a dialog box in which you can enter the QM order parameters.

Save the notification.

Result

When the QM order has been created, the notification receives the status "order assigned" (ORAS) and "notification in process" (NOPR). The QM order number is displayed in the QM order field.
