Basic Data (QM-PT-BD) (SAP Library - Quality Management (QM))

Basic Data (QM-PT-BD)

Purpose

In the basic data (master data), you store information that is used often. In QM, the following master records are available:

Inspection Method

Master Inspection Characteristic

Catalog

Sampling Procedure

Dynamic Modification Rule

Sampling Scheme

Sample-Drawing Procedure

Implementation Considerations

If you use the basic data as a copy model, it will be considerably easier to enter data into the system.

Integration

You can:

Include catalog data in master inspection characteristics, task lists, and notifications
Include master inspection characteristics in task lists
Include inspection methods in master inspection characteristics and inspection characteristics contained in a task list
Include sampling procedures in inspection characteristics used in a task list
Include dynamic modification rules in inspection characteristics and in the task list header
Assign sample-drawing procedures to task list headers

Features

The Basic Data component contains the following functions:

Version management (only for inspection methods and master inspection characteristics)

History management (for example, for inspection methods and master inspection characteristics, but not for catalogs)

The system documents all changes that are made to the master records.

Use of the following master records as copy models to simplify the entry of data:

Inspection methods
Master inspection characteristics
Sampling schemes
Sampling procedures
Dynamic modification rules
Sample-drawing procedures
Catalogs
Selected sets

Search for suitable master record

With inspection methods and master inspection characteristics, for example, you can limit the search for the desired master record using various criteria (for example, key date).

Note

If you do not specify a key date, for example, the system displays all valid versions of the master record.

Where-used lists for master inspection characteristics, inspection methods, code groups, dynamic modification rules and sampling procedures.
