Assign QM Order
Application component: Basic Data
App type: SAP GUI
Description:   You use this function to process QM orders for different order types.  
Key features:   You can use this function for the following activities:  Processing QM orders for appraisal costs Processing QM orders for nonconformity costs Manual creation of unassigned QM orders  Processing QM Orders for Appraisal Costs   You can assign a QM order for appraisal costs to a material and/or inspection lot. The material master record serves as the central control object for creating a QM order. You can maintain QM orders in the material master record and specify whether the system should create a general or individual QM order.  The Quality Management (QM) application component also has a central maintenance function that you can use to assign QM orders to one or more materials. The system then maintains the respective material master records automatically.  Maintenance of QM Orders in the Material Master Record   In the QM inspection setup of the material master record, you can maintain the following fields for a QM order manually:  Individual QM order   If you set this control indicator, the system creates an individual QM order for this combination of material and inspection type when an inspection lot is created. To create an individual QM order, the inspection lot must have an account assignment (for example, a cost center specified in a purchase order).  If the inspection lot does not have an account assignment, and a general QM order is assigned to the inspection type in the material master record, the general QM order is used as an account assignment for the inspection lot instead of the individual QM order.  QM order   In this field, you can either enter the QM order number manually or you can let the system maintain the field automatically, if you created and assigned an order using the central maintenance function (see below). Using the Central Maintenance Function for QM Orders   You can use the central maintenance function for QM orders to create and assign general or individual QM orders to one or more materials. This function consists of a report that generates a list of materials based on the selection criteria for a combination of plant , inspection type and material . For each combination of material and inspection type, you can:  Create and assign new QM orders to materials   Copy QM orders and assign them to other materials   Replace QM orders for materials   Delete assignments to materials    You can also use this function to define report variants in which the selection criteria can be saved under the variant name. The report variant can then be called up and used without having to redefine the selection criteria. For more information about how to use report variants, see:  Report Variant Types in QM   Defining Report Variants   Retrieving, Displaying or Deleting Report Variants   Processing QM Orders for Nonconformity Costs   You can manually create a QM order while processing a quality notification. For more information, see QM Orders in Notification Processing .  Manual Creation of Unassigned QM Orders   You can use this function to create a QM order that is not assigned to a combination of material and inspection type. When the QM order is created, you can maintain a settlement rule. You can subsequently assign these QM orders to an inspection lot and/or a quality notification.
