How to activate this vendor again?

Go to the relevant quality info record (QI02) and see if the vendor can be released
there.

Go to the "Vendor master change TCODE 'XK02"....Once the vendor master is

displayed ....go to the menu function "Extras-->Blocked data"..

On this screen ...there is a section at the end for "Block for quality reasons"...The field
" Block function " must have been filled with some code like "99/**"....Just blank out
this field and save the data and the vendor will be released.

However as a good practice you will like to check with the "Quality/Purchasing"
department if they have knowingly blocked the vendor as receiving against a blocked
vendor is not allowed in many companys...

So if you are sure you want to unblock the vendor ...then follow the said procedure
above...

Is there a standard report for UD history statistic by vendor?

The output for transaction QA32 with suitable layout for the output can suffice your
requirement.

As for the reports in Logistics Information System, the infostructure S068 maintains
the consolidated monthly data and not on inspection lot leve (i.e. UD code wise
consolidation). You can try to creating some new infosets or do the feasiblity study for
this reporting using some customized flexible analysis.

You can also show your client the transaction MCVA and then on the result screen -
goto - Extras - Inspection lots.

You can also make use of the Vendor Evaluation functionalities available. activate the automatic
criteria 7 (Automatic determination from quality statistics: GR inspection) and then when you
run the evaluation you can drill down the Quality score and access the UD's that influenced that
same score.

Listed below are steps that you need to start your SAP QM Configuration.
Assumptions:

a. Material has to be created and available in material master: use: MM01.

b. Only to be used for materials which require an 'Inspection' - basically for the following
categories of materials:
i. In-Process goods materials
ii. Finished goods materials
Exceptions: Raw Materials (examples in Steel Plant materials or Paper product materials).

c. Ensure you have the right SAP template user-id along with the authorizations for that group &
then proceed.

d. Create quality view by MM01 for that material.

Now activate procurement key.

Goto inspection type tab page activate inspection type 01 for GR inspection

3) partial Lot Assign : Partial lot and batch for each inspection point.

4) Proposal for inspection point valuation : Maintain any of the selectedset coded you
have created for 03 inspection or 04 inspection.

Master Data Required

1) Maintain 03 inspection in MM02

2) Selected set for 03 inspection for the particalur plant.

3) Sampling procedure with selection of inspection point as this mandatory.

4) Maintain routing as mentioned below :

1) Go to CA02

2) Go to Header

3) Maintain inspection Point as 150

4) Maintain partial Lot Assign as partial lot assignment according to plant default

5) At Operation level maintain a QM work center (testing) with Control key QM04 (as
per your requirement).

6) Double click on the control key and go to Quality Management : Inspection points.

7) Maintain Inspection point completion : Quantity, Valuation and confirmation (as

per your need, you can select other options also) press F1 and see the impact of each.

8) Choose time related and keep Tfac 1 and Unit as HR ( As needed).

9) You can select quantity - related also and then maintain the quantity.

10) Selection the QM operation and maintain in the MIC with above said sampling
procedure.

At transaction level

1) Create order co01, release and save . lot will be created.

2) Do the opertion confirmation if there is any operation mentioned in the routing

before the qm operation.

3) Go to qa32 -> result -> you will get a pop of all the operation with yellow traingle
mentioning QM is active in that operation. double click on the QM operation.

4) Pop will come for entering parial quantity, date time.

5) Enter the details, do the result recording.

6) Save, pop will come for confirmation of quantity.

PS: Step-5 - Take note of what is the control key you are using. Make sure that you
have inspection char tick in the control key.

Material Specification QS61

What is the purpose of material spec. QS61 master data in QM Module?

They allow the transfer of the batch class characteristic spec values to transfer from
the assigned class and populate into the inspection plan. Without this, you must
maintain the spec in the inspection plan. With this, you only need to maintain them in
the class. Because many materials can be assigned to class, a lot of maintenance can
be saved.

You also need this to transfer results from the inspection lot back to the class unless
the indicator of "Batch results transfer without material spec" in plant config is
selected on.

In simple terms:

It is an option to that of Inspection plan. Inspection plan is defined & created at plant
level for the material. But Material specs are created for a material can be used for all
the plants. This means it is created at client level. You can only use MIC in the
materials specs. You cannot use DMR & Inspection points in material specs.
So it simply meant, once used material specs. for a material can be used at any plant.

Which T.code we can maintain the material specification?

QS61 Maintain material specification

QS62 Display material specification
QS63 Maintain material spec: Planning
QS64 Display material spec: For key date
QS65 Activate material specification
QS66 Plan activation of material spec.

Recurring Inspections type 09

In Recurring Inspections type the system can automatically create inspection lots at predefined
intervals for selected batch materials. In other words Recurring Inspections type is used when you
have to inspect the batch material as per the specific time interval.
For e.g if you want that the expiry date of each product has to be inspected at every 6 months...then
if you set up recurring inspection type and enter the inspection interval in material master, then
system will create a inspection lot and you can reject or acccept this batch.
Recurring inspections are triggered by a report that you can execute manually or that the system can
execute automatically (provided it has been planned as a background job). When recurring
inspections are triggered automatically, the background job executes the report, which in turn selects
the batches and creates the inspection lots according to your processing parameters.
The steps for using Recurring inspection type 09.
1) In QM material master view define Inspection Interval.
2) In inspection setup, Activate 09 inspection type by ticking on active.
3) Make quality plan for that material using '09' usage.
4) In QA05 define a variant for recurring inspection lot generation.
5) Select that defined variant and put that material, plant and batch. please tick on " to inspection lot
creation" (in maintain varient screen). If you don't do this lot will not be generated.
6) select the variant and then press schedule tab.
7) click on scedule one / periofically and select the desired frequency.
8) as per defined frequency system will that program and lot will be generated auromatically. If you
want to generate lot immediatly.
9) check the effect of this on that batch, in MSC2N system will display next inspection interval based
on data you maintained.
10) In QA32 put material, batch and 09 type, the lot will be displayed.
