22. Quality Certificates in detail — SAP QM

Purpose of Quality certificate:

A quality certificate certifies the quality of goods. The chemical or physical properties of goods can be recorded as:

• Inspection results
• Characteristics for the batch

Quality certificates must be created for the outbound delivery of the goods.

When we get a certificate from Vendor it is called as Incoming certificate what we give it to customer is an Outgoing.

Depending on the scenario outgoing certificate can be printed at inspection lot/batch/delivery.

Print certificate we need result which is taken from inspection lot results.

CERTIFICATE PROCESSING:

The certificates for the delivery items are created when goods are shipped. The certificate creation process can be automated.

You can monitor the receipt of a quality certificate with and without inspection lot processing, independently of the time of goods receipt.

If the quality certificate is electronically transferred with the formatted data, this allows an automatic transfer of results from the certificate to an inspection lot Via the results data origin entered in the inspection plan or in the material specification you characteristically control whether the data is copied from the electronic certificate or whether is should be checked itself.
