Quality Management Information System: Information Structures

In the standard system, the following ten information structures are available in the Quality Management Information System:

Reference to Inspection Lot:

  • S068 "Vendor"

This information structure contains the aggregated data from inspection lot and usage decision for the vendor analysis.

  • S069 "Material"

This information structure contains the aggregated data from inspection lot and usage decision for the material analysis. The information structure S069 is identical in structure to the information structure S068, but does not, however, include the characteristic "Vendor" and the key figure "Quantity returned to vendor".

  • S104 "Customer"

This information structure contains the aggregated data from inspection lot and usage decision for the customer analysis. The information structure S104 is identical in structure to the information structure S068, but does not, however, include the key figure "Quantity returned to vendor". It also contains the characteristic "Customer" instead of the characteristic "Vendor",

  • S072 "Inspection Lot Individual Records"

This information structure is available in the standard system, but is for internal use only.

Reference to Quality Notifications:

  • S098 "QM Notifications: Vendor Analysis"

This information structure contains the aggregated data from the quality notifications (notification headers and measures) for the vendor analysis.

  • S097 "QM Notifications: Material Analysis

This information structure contains the aggregated data from the quality notifications (notification headers and measures) for the material analysis. The information structure S097 is structurally identical to the information structure S098, but does not, however, contain the characteristic "Vendor".

  • S099 "QM Notifications: Customer Analysis"

This information structure includes the aggregated data from the quality notifications (notification headers and measures) for the customer analysis. The information structure S099 is structurally identical to the information structure S098, but it contains the characteristic "Customer" instead of the characteristic "Vendor".

Reference to Problems/Errors:

  • S102 "Problems/Errors: Vendor Analysis"

This information structure contains the aggregated data from the problem level (i.e., error level) of the quality notifications for the vendor analysis.

  • S100 "Problems/Errors: Material Analysis"

This information structure Contains the aggregated data from the problem level (i.e., error level) for the quality notifications for the material analysis. The information structure S100 is structurally identical to the information structure S102, but does not contain the characteristic "Vendor".

  • S103 "Problems/Errors: Customer Analysis"

This information structure contains the aggregated data from the problem level (i.e., error level) of the quality notifications for the customer analysis.
