Description:  With this app, you can view, create, and manage quality info records. If a supplier release or a quality assurance agreement is required for a material, you must create a quality information record or quality info record. The quality info record controls how the material can be processed further. When a quotation or purchase order is created, the system checks whether a quality info record is required and available for the combination of material and supplier. The system also checks whether the supplier and material-supplier combination is blocked or released for quotations, purchase orders, or goods receipt. The execution of this check depends on the setting of the QM in procurement control key in the material master record.
