Procedure documentation Creating Certificate Profiles  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Prerequisites

Before you can create a certificate profile, an appropriate SAPscript form must be available. You can also exchange the form when you change the profile.

The authorization for maintaining a certificate profile is linked to the certificate type and activity (for example, create, change, or display).

Procedure

  1. Choose Logistics → Quality management → Quality certificate → Output → Certificate profile ® Create.
  1. Enter a name and certificate type for the certificate profile. The system assigns a version number. The certificate profile is identified by a combination of the name, type, and version number. If a profile already exists with the same name and certificate type, you can copy the data from an earlier version.

Note

You can also use another certificate profile as a copy model. The system copies all the data for the chosen profile except for the administrative data and status. For example, you can continue processing the certificate profile directly while you add or delete characteristics.
  1. Choose Header data.

The system displays the header data screen.
  1. You must assign a form to the profile. The form describes the layout and, in part, the contents of the certificate.

  1. If necessary, limit the way in which the system finds inspection lots and partial lots for the certificate material.

To

The system only considers lots:

Set the Accepted lots only indicator

That were accepted with an OK usage decision

Set the indicator Delivery in lot

That contain the delivery number

Enter a value in the field LSL for quality score

Whose quality score is greater than the value entered

Enter an inspection lot origin

With this inspection lot origin

Enter an inspection type

With this inspection type

  1. If you want to print characteristics for materials in the production chain, choose Materials. (For more information, see Defining Materials in the Production Chain.)
  1. Choose Characteristics.

The characteristic data screen appears. (For more information, see Profile Characteristics.)
  1. Specify the characteristics that should be displayed on the certificate. The number determines the order of the characteristics. You can choose from the following two characteristic categories:
  1. Select the characteristic in the subsequent dialog box and then maintain the detail data.
  1. Save the profile.

Result

At this point, you cannot use the certificate profile to create a certificate. However, you can carry out a simulation using real data. To create a certificate, you must first release the certificate profile and then make at least one assignment (for example, to a material, material group, or combination of material and customer).
