In this step, you make the settings for the
order categories and order types that are used for the following functions in the QM component:

Requirements

  • The following order types for printing shop papers must be maintained for order category 50 (inspection lot):
    • QM01 Sample-drawing instruction
    • QM02 Inspection instruction
  • The following order types must be maintained for order category 06 (quality costs):
    • QL01 Appraisal costs accumulated and settled for several materials or inspection lots
    • QL02 Appraisal costs associated with a single inspection lot
    • QN01 Nonconformity costs

      You must have maintained default values for these order types

      You must have imported evaluations (reports) for these order types from the standard client 000 into the current client and generated them in the current client (report group 7K0O for the QM and PM components).

Standard settings

These requirements have been met in the standard system.

Recommendation

Coordinate your actvities with your controlling area and ask their advice with regard to determining, recording, settling and analyzing quality costs.

Activities

  1. Determine whether the following order categories and order types have been maintained in the system:
    1. Order category 50 (inspection lot) with order types:

  • QM01 Printing the sample-drawing instruction
  • QM02 Printing the inspection instruction
  1. Order category 06 (quality costs) with the order types:
  • QL01 Collective settlement of appraisal costs, (periodic)
  • QL02 Individual settlement of appraisal costs
  • QN01 Nonconformity costs

  1. Determine whether the relevant settings for these order types have been maintained in the system
    1. For each plant, define the costing variants that are used in all default values for order types relating to quality costs.
    2. Define two order types for appraisal costs in the
      settings at plant level; one for individual settlement of costs and one for the periodic collective settlement of costs. (See section Basic Settings and Environment / Settings).
    3. For each plant, define the default values for the following order types relating to quality costs:

  1. Check whether suitable order types have been maintained in the Print control for inspection documents (in the Quality Inspection / Inspection Lot Processing section).

  1. Determine whether further order types are necessary, for example:
    • To differentiate between appraisal costs depending on inspection lot origin or inspection type
    • To differentiate between nonconformity costs depending on notification type.

      Maintain the relevant table entries if necessary.

Further notes

The Controlling (CO) application is responsible for managing all costs in the R/3 System (for example, planning, settlement and evaluation). This also includes recording, settling and evaluating the quality costs that are recorded in the QM component. (The planning of quality costs will be supported in later releases.) Additional settings are described in the Implementation Guide for Controlling, Product Cost Controlling section. You should make sure, that the corresponding settings have been made correctly in the Controlling component. For more information, see the Implementation Guide for Controlling, sections: Product Cost Controlling / Cost Object Controlling

  • Generating the orders for quality costs
    • Orders for appraisal costs are generated when the user assigns the orders to one or more materials.
    • Orders for nonconformity costs are generated when the user assigns the order to a quality notification.
  • Summarization of quality costs
    To distinguish between various types of quality costs, such as, internal and external nonconformity costs, and to summarize them appropriately in Controlling, you assign orders to a default class in the SAP classification system and use class characteristics to differentiate between the orders. The characteristics are defined freely. You can, for example, separate internal nonconformity costs from external nonconformity costs, by assigning the characteristic "Origin" to the class containing the nonconformity cost orders and by allowing this class characteristic to have both the attributes "internal" and "external". To do this, you must activate the classification in the corresponding order types.
  • Analyzing the quality costs
    The Controlling module uses flexibly structured, generated reports for making cost analyses. The preparatory steps for using these reports are described in detail in the Implemetation Guide for the Information System for Product Cost Controlling. Note: You can use the report group 7K0O to evaluate the quality-related costs.
    For more information, see the Implementation Guide for Controlling, Product Cost Controlling / Information System / Cost Object Controlling.
