Field/Indicator in General Data Screen Section
| What You Should Know
| Unit of issue
| You can define the unit of measure that can be used for the withdrawal of a material from the warehouse, stock transfers and transfer postings.
| QM material auth.
| You use this key to limit the access authorization of users to the material-related data in Quality Management. If you do not enter an authorization group, no authorization check is made by the system.
| GR processing time
| You can enter the number of working days that are needed to inspect the material and place it in storage, once the goods have been received. From a QM standpoint, this field is for information only.
| Catalog profile
| You can assign a catalog profile to the material. This profile is then proposed as the default when you create a quality notification or record defects.
| Plant-sp. matl status
| You use this plant-specific material status to limit the use of the material to the relevant plant.
| Inspection setup
| If you activate at least one inspection type in the inspection setup for a material, the system sets this indicator.
| Post to insp. stock indicator
| If you set this indicator, the material is posted to inspection stock at goods receipt.
If you do not set this indicator, the goods receipt is posted to unrestricted-use stock.
This field is hidden if at least one inspection type relevant to stock is active. In this case, you control whether the material is posted to inspection stock using the corresponding indicator in the inspection type.
| Documentation reqd
| You set this indicator, if you want to record any changes made to inspection lots that were created for the material in change documents.
| Inspection interval
| In this field you enter the period of time in days until the next recurring inspection is to take place. This field only applies to materials that are to be handled in batches.
| Valid from
| You enter the date, from which the plant-specific material status is valid.
|
| Field/Indicator in Procurement Data Screen Section
| What You Should Know
| QM procurement active
| If you set this indicator, you activate Quality Management in procurement for all plants in a client.
| QM control key
| You use this key (defined in Customizing) to control the conditions that apply to the quality management processes in procurement. You must enter additional information, depending on the control key.
| Certificate type
| You must enter a certificate type if you have selected a control key that requires a certificate type. The certificate type represents the content of a certificate.
| Target QM system
| With the key that you enter in this field, you (as a customer in a delivery relationship) define the requirements for the vendor’s QM system.
| Tech. delivery terms
| This indicator is set automatically, if technical delivery terms are assigned to a material. You must assign technical delivery terms to a material, by choosing the corresponding control key.
|
