Stability Study With SAP Quality Management

Stability Study with SAP Quality Management
Stability Study with SAP QM

1. Configuration
1.1. Inspection types
Although the inspection types for stability are preconfigured in SAP QM. Still,
you can configure the custom
inspection types for stability.
Follow the Path: IMG >> Quality Management >> Quality Inspection >> Inspection L
ot Creation >> Maintain
Inspection Types
16
Inspection for Storage Condition (Stabi)
1601 Initial Test (Stability Studies)
1602
Manual Insp. Lot for Storage Cond (Stab)
1.2. User Status Profile
The preconfigured user status profile has limitation to the fixed process for st
ability study. You can copy and
configure custom status profile as per the business requirement.
Run Transaction BS02 to access the status profiles.
Add/Remove/Modify the business transaction for a status by double clicking the s
tatus.

1.3. Notification type and the Action box
There are standard preconfigured notification type available. You can refer the
same and use it as a reference
to create a custom notification type. Also, you can add/remove/modify the action
box for the notification type.

5
1.4. Primary Packaging
You need to define the primary packaging for Physical Samples
Definition: The packing material which is in direct contact with the product is
considered as primary packaging.
There may be container (bottle, ampule), closure (bottle cap) and desiccant (sil
ica gel)
Follow the menu path IMG >> Quality Management >> Stability Study >> Basic Data
>> Define Primary
Packaging
6
1.5. Physical Sample Container
You need to define the physical sample container for physical sample
Definition: The containing material in which the samples are placed in stability
chamber.
1. E.g.
10 strips are packed in carton and placed in stability chamber then the carton i
s the physical sample container
10 strips (Aluminum and PVC blister) are placed in the stability chamber then th
e Aluminum and PVC blister is
the physical sample container
Follow the menu path IMG >> Quality Management >> Quality Inspection >> Sample M
anagement >> Define
Physical-Sample Container
7
1.6. Storage Condition
You need to define the storage condition for Physical sample. It is the most imp
ortant configuration for stability
study
Definition: The temperature and humidity level in which the physical samples are
placed is called the storage
condition
1. E.g. Temperature 25C 2C and Relative Humidity 65% 5% is one of the storage cond
ition. It can
be a long term/real time storage condition for a zone or it can be an accelerate
d storage condition for
a zone. The storage condition has nothing to do with Long term / Intermediate /
Accelerated storage
condition. These word should not be the part of the description of a storage con
dition.
Follow the menu path IMG >> Quality Management >> Stability Study >> Basic Data
>> Define storage
Conditions
8
1.7. Physical Sample Storage Location
You need to define the physical sample storage location for physical sample.
Definition: The stability chamber in which the samples are placed is called Phys
ical sample storage location.
E.g. it has nothing to do with the material storage location. It is the identifi
cation of a stability chamber.
It is helpful to have tractability of the sample
Follow the menu path IMG >> Quality Management >> Quality Inspection >> Sample M
anagement >> Define
Physical-Sample Locations
It is a plant specific configuration. You need to first define a plant for which
you are maintaining the stability
chamber. If you have a common chamber for multiple plant. You need to create the
same stability chamber for
each of plants.

2. Master Data
2.1. Maintenance Strategy
You need to create a maintenance strategy for stability study. It is the most im
portant master data for the
stability study
Run Transaction IP11 or follow the menu path SAP Menu >> Logistics >> Quality Ma
nagement >> Stability
Study >> Stability Planning >> Strategy >> Edit (IP11)
The important part is the scheduling indicator. You need to select 1-Time-Key da
te to get the schedule on
key date. E.g. if you start the study on 12.07.2016 and you have 1month, 2 month
s, 3 months, 6 months, 9
months and 12 months stations, you will get 12.08.2016(1month), 12.09.2016(2mont
hs), 12.10.2016(3months),
12.01.2017(6months), 12.04.2017(9months) and 12.07.2017(12months). For remaining
two options (time and
2-time-factory calendar) you will not get the stations on the key date.
10
11
2.2. Material Master and Inspection type
You must assign and activate inspection type for a material which you intended f
or stability study.
You must assign inspection type 16 (Inspection lot for Storage condition), 1601
(Initial inspection lot) and 1602
(Manual or additional inspection lot) or custom inspection types substitute for
each one.
12
2.3. Inspection plan
You need to have inspection plan for inspection processing for stability study
I hope everyone on this forum for Quality Management must be aware of the inspec
tion plan. So, I will not
describe the same in details. But, the following points must be considered.
No Dynamic Modification Rule work for stability Study as the task list usage is
3-universal
The inspection plan should have sample drawing procedure in order to support the
physical samples
The most important part is to assign the maintenance strategy and maintenance pa
ckage to the
inspection plan which decide the planned stations for the particular storage con
dition.
13
2.4. Assign Maintenance Packages to the Inspection
plan
You must assign a maintenance strategy and required maintenance package to an in
spection plan in order to
create maintenance plan with the required planned stations.
1. E.g. you need to assign maintenance packages 3 Months, 6 Months, 9 Months and
12 Months for an
Accelerated stability study.
Also, you need to create different inspection plan for each strategy. E.g. if yo
u are planning for Long
term(3,6,9,12,18,24,36 months), intermediate(3,6,9,12,18,24 months) and Accelera
ted (3,6,9,12 months)
strategy. You need to create three different inspection plan for each one of the
m.
Run the transaction CWBQM or follow the menu path SAP Menu >> Logistics >> Quali
ty Management >>
Stability Study >> Stability Planning >> Inspection Planning >> Workbench (CWBQM
)
You get the first screen as follows to select either Header area or Operations a
rea for the inspection plan
workbench
Select always Q_TSK_000000000010 - Insp. plan, mater.-routing alloc., lock and c
lick on Continue
You get the below screen.
Enter the selection criteria and execute. E.g. Material, Plant, Task list type (
always Q-Inspection plan), Group
and Group Counter and execute (load task lists)
14
You get the below screen. Here you have all the inspection plan against the sele
ction criteria. Select the
required inspection plan and scroll horizontally to your right.
15
You scroll horizontally to your right till you get see the column for Strategy l
ike below screen. Enter/choose the
same maintenance strategy (e.g. QSTABI) for all the selected inspection plan(s).
16
Now Follow the menu path Task List >> Maintenance Packages like below screen.
17
The system will navigates to below screen in which you can assign the required p
ackages. You can assign and
navigate to other selected inspection plans using navigation buttons on the tran
saction tool bar.
18
19
20
Also, dont forget to save and exit from the transaction.
This will add maintenance packages in your inspection plans. That decides the pl
anned stations for the storage
condition for which the inspection plan is assigned.
3. Stability Study Processing
The standard stability study process flow is as below
21
3.1. Create Quality Notification
Use Transaction QM01 and Notification Type QS-Stability Study with Material
22
In Below screen, Enter notification type QS.
In Below Screen, Enter the material and plant and hit enter key. The system will
open up the batch number
field
23
In below screen, enter the batch number and Save
24
Notification is created
25
3.2. Create Initial Sample
Open the notification in change using transaction QM02
26
In Below screen, enter the notification number and enter
In below screen, in Action Box, Click on Action Create Initial Sample
The system should show a pop-up dialog box for initial sample. On the pop-up dia
log box, Enter Primary
Packaging, Sample Container and the sample quantity (the total sample quantity f
or the stability study i.e. total
27
of all the storage condition sample). Storage Condition and Storage Location is
optional as this is the initial
sample. If the product required to be kept in particular storage condition (e.g.
product need refrigeration) then
you must define the same as the product need to be kept inside the refrigerator
before placing into the stability
chamber.
Click on Save and change notification. This will create the initial sample for t
he stability study.
Note: You must create initial sample when you decide to do stability study as th
e system do not allow
to start the study in back date.
3.3. Confirm Initial Sample
In below screen, in Action Box, Click on Action Confirm Initial Sample
28
The system should show a pop-up dialog box for the sample confirmation with all
the details.
29
Click on save and change notification button. The system should show another pop
-up dialog box for physical
sample drawing confirmation
Click on continue to confirm the sample
30
3.4. Create Initial Inspection Lot
In below screen, in Action Box, Click on Action Initial test Inspection lot
The system shows a pop-up dialog box for specification selection. Enter the Grou
p and Group
counter and put Initial Inspection lot as Short Text and click on Create Inspectio
n lot.
31
The System show another pop-up dialog box for flexible specification selection s
creen where you can select
the required test as well as change the specification of the test as per the req
uirement and click on copy to
create inspection lot. Alternatively, you can click on copy all button to copy a
ll the specification if you are using
the required inspection plan.
The system should create the inspection lot. You need to process the inspection
lot separately.
32
I hope everyone on this forum for Quality Management must be aware of the inspec
tion lot result recording and
Usage Decision. So, I will not describe the same in details.
3.5. Complete Initial Inspection Lot
You need not to perform the this action from the Quality Notification action box
if you use the standard UD code
provided for making usage decision for stability study as those UD code contains
the follow up action to do this.
You can see the same in the below screen shots.
33
34
If you use custom UD codes without follow up action, you need to click on the ac
tion box for Complete Initial
Test as per below screenshot
35
3.6. Define Storage Conditions
In below screen, in Action Box, Click on Action Specify Storage Conditions
The System shows a pop-up dialog box for defining the storage conditions. Select
the required Storage
Conditions and distribute the sample quantity for the selected storage condition
s. Click on save and change
notification button to save the same.
36
3.7. Create Testing Schedule
In below screen, in Action Box, Click on Action Create Testing Schedule
37
The system shows a pop-up dialog box for create test schedule. Select the Mainte
nance Strategy and Define
the Scheduling period and Click on create Testing schedule, save and change the
notification button to create
the testing schedule.
Note: You must define the scheduling period greater than last station. E.g. If y
ou are planning for 3, 6,
9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60 Months then you must put value greater than 60 Months.
In this case I am putting 72 Months (I always ask the client for the maximum per
iod for stability study
and ask them to standardize a fixed value to be defined as scheduling period to
avoid any confusion)
E.g. if client say that they do stability maximum up to 60 Months, I tell them t
o standardize 72 Months. If
they say 36 Months then I tell to standardize 48 Months.
38
Now, you should be have a question in your mind Why????
Because, if you are using time-key date in maintenance strategy then system will
not create last station
in maintenance schedule.
E.g. If you have 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60 months stations and if you defi
ne the scheduling period as
60 Months. The System will create the test schedule till 48 months and will not
show 60 Months station.
Because the system consider 1 month = 30 days and if you calculate 30 days x 60
Months = 1800 days.
So, if your start date is 12.07.2016 then you are scheduling up to 1800 days i.e
. till date 16.06.2021.
But as per the time-key date strategy it should be 12.07.2021 which is greater t
han 16.06.2021. So, the
system do not create schedule for 60 months station. Although, the system will g
enerate the inspection
lot for 60 Months when 12.07.2021 date is reached. So, it is up to you to follow
the same or not.
But, I recommend to use my suggestion if you are using the scheduling data for r
eporting purpose.
3.8. Change Testing Schedule (Assign Inspection Plan)
In below screen, in Action Box, Click on Action Change Testing Schedule (here I
have changed the
text for the action to fit to my clients requirement)
The system shows a pop-up dialog box asking for Do you want to edit the testing s
chedule for
the study and return to the study? click on Yes.
39
The system navigates to Change Maintenance Plan screen.
Here, you select the Maintenance Item (each maintenance item represents a storag
e conditions selected in
previous step) and click on Item Tab
40
In below screen, you can see the details of the maintenance item.
Click on Cycle Item, you will see nothing in that tab.
41
Come back to Item tab. Enter Group and Group Counter (basically assign the inspe
ction plan to a storage
condition) then navigate to cycle item tab to see the assigned time points
42
43
Now, use the Navigation buttons to navigate between items.
44
45
46
Now, Click on Save on below screen.
The System saves the maintenance plan and navigates back to the notification scr
een.
47
3.9. Store Stability Samples
In below screen, in Action Box, Click on Action Store Stability Sample
48
The system shows a pop-up dialog box for Store stability Sample. Select all the
storage conditions and choose
the sample location and click on save and change the notification button to stor
e the sample.
49
3.10. Complete Test Scheduling
In below screen, in Action Box, Click on Action Complete Test Scheduling
50
The System shows a pop-up dialog box asking for Do you want to set the status "Te
st Scheduling
Completed" and return to the stability study? click on yes.
The system perform the action of completion of test scheduling.
3.11. Define Start Date of Study
In below screen, in Action Box, Click on Action Define Start Date of Study
51
The system shows a pop-up dialog box for defining start of cycle. Check / Change
date and click on Save and
Change notification button to complete the action.
Note: The dates are very important for the stability study. Below is the order f
or the different dates. If
you deviate from the order then you will mess up the stability study notificatio
n and you may need to
close the same and create new one for the same.
Initial Sample Creation Date <= Initial Sample Confirmation Date <= Store Stabil
ity Sample Date <= Start
Date of Study.
You cannot define the start date of the study as back date (if initial sample is
created on current date) /
Future date
3.12. Deadline Monitoring for Due Stations
You need to schedule a daily background Job with Transaction IP30 with proper va
riant to create inspection lot
for the stability.
You need to process the generated inspection lot for Result recording and Usage
Decision.
52
I hope everyone on this forum for Quality Management must be aware of scheduling
a background job as well
as inspection lot processing. So, I will not describe the same in details.
3.13. Complete Study and Reporting
Once all the stations are completed, you can use action box item. Complete Stabi
lity Study to complete the
study.
Also, you can Use Actions Display Objects for Study to see the object linked to
the stability study notification.
It shows Quality Notification, Initial Physical Sample, Initial Inspection lot,
Physical Samples for Storage
Conditions and Their inspection lots and Maintenance Plan.
You can use the action Display Stability History to display all the result recor
ding history till date for the
stability study. This action is also available while result recording of the sta
bility study inspection lot. There is a
command button below the sample.
There are many other things that you can customize as per your requirements.
I hope this document will be helpful. There are many possibility in the stabilit
y study with SAP QM. You can
explore the same.
