You can delegate the processing of inspection operations to subsystems.

For a technical description of the interface specification, refer to the SAP online documentation.

Sequence:

  • The subsystem initiates the action by requesting a work list of inspection lots from the SAP system that are waiting to be processed in a work center.
  • The SAP system then transmits the current work list.
  • From this work list, the subsystem can select inspection lots for processing.
  • The SAP system then transmits the inspection specifications to the subsystem and waits until results are confirmed by the subsystem. During this time, the operation cannot be processed in the SAP system.
  • The subsystem can confirm:
    • characteristic results for an operation;
      prerequisite: the recording of characteristic results must active for the material.
    • characteristic results for an inspection point;
      prerequisite: the inspection plan header must specify inspection processing on the basis of inspection points.
      If a characteristic is rejected, the SAP system can automatically update the defect data;
      prerequisite: defects recording must be supported by the inspection characteristic in the plan and you must have activated the automatic selection of a report category for the corresponding work center.
    • usage decisions for inspection lots

      The SAP system logs the transmission sequences.

Recommendation

Have the vendor of the subsystem show proof that his system has been certified by SAP.

Activities

  1. Make sure the organizational and technical prerequisites have been fulfilled.
    Plan the interaction of the CAQ system and the SAP system.
    1. Define how the responsibilities will be delegated.
      The master data must be maintained in the SAP system and the SAP system must generate the inspection lots.
    2. Make sure the appropriate interface programs for the subsystem are available.
      Remote Function Call (RFC) is used for the interface to the subsystem. This means that programs installed on the subsystem must conform with the interface definition. Vendors of CAQ subsystems can obtain a certificate from SAP stating that there is a successful connection to the QM-IDI interface.
  2. Make the system settings.
    1. Define the subsystem keys and mail addresses for the transmission protocols.
      Note: The standard system contains an entry ' *' that is used to call up the interface without a subsystem. You cannot delete this entry, but can only change the contents.
    2. Store these keys in the master records for the work centers.
      Since the processing is controlled via the work center, the materials must be processed on the basis of an inspection plan. In addition, you must have specified the defined subsystems (before the inspection lots are created) in work center the master records where the the operations will be processed.
    3. Determine whether defect records need to be generated automatically. If so, you must activate the function for the automatic selection of a report type for the affected work centers. For additional information, refer to the chapter the Quality Notifications, Defects recording, Report Type.
    4. An application log is written for the interface. You can display the logs using the report program RQEIFML10 and delete them using the report program RQEIFML20.
      Make sure that you delete the logs on a regular basis.
