Goods Receipt When Quality Management (QM) is Active

The SAP System differentiates between two different forms of quality management:

Quality Management in Material Procurement

If quality management is active for procurement, you can define in the material master record (Quality Management screen) that a certificate is required for the material.

If a certificate is required, the system displays a box during goods receipt for a purchase where you can confirm the receipt of a certificate.

Quality Management in Material Inspection

If an inspection at the time of goods receipt has been defined for the material, the system automatically creates an inspection lot when the goods receipt is posted. Quality Management uses this inspection lot to carry out the inspection.
