ERP Quality Management

Overview
The Quality Management component (QM) is part of the integrated R/3 System. With the functions of the Quality Management (QM) module, you can implement the most important elements of a QM system, as specified in ISO 9000. These functions are complemented by other integrated application components of the SAP system (such as MM, SD, PP). The QM application component is not installed as a stand-alone solution, but is integrated in all areas of the SAP business system. The SAP QM module supports tasks associated with quality planning, quality inspection and quality control throughout an enterprise. It sets the specifications for quality and standard testing procedures, controls the creation of quality certificates and manages notifications related to quality. It also stores the quality data for raw materials, goods-in-process and finished goods. At the enterprise level, i.e., at the SAP level, you require quality data to be saved with customer orders and goods shipped and received. Functions in QM Application Components q q q q q q
