Adding Supplier details

Question

Expert,
We are buying an engine assembly from our Vendor, but there is no visibility for us to verify that Fixed Process Control(FPC) (quality)requirements have been met by the engine. So we need to know the details of the inner parts of the engine and whether the vendors have been FPC(quality certified) approved. In addition of these datails we should be able to identify the each part number in the engine assembly. These all should be monitere in SAP QM during the inspection, please let me know that how can we setup/customize our qm system for this requirement.
Have a great day!!!!
Thx

Hello Susan
Some suggestions
1) If your client is doing inspection at vendors place then in SAP QM you can initiate Source inspection where in you can inspect the material at vendors place. You can integrate this result to the GR inspection
2) Quality system of the vendor can be maintained in quality info record - If a  material is activated for QM in procurement, the system initiates the following check whenever purchasing functions are carried out (for example, when a request for a quotation is made or if a purchase order is created):whether the vendor's verified QM system, according to vendor master record or quality info-record (for a combination of vendor/material) meets the requirements for QM systems as specified in the material master
In carrying out the check, the system relies on the defined assignments for target QM systems and actual QM systems in the Customizing application.If the check is unsuccessful, a warning message is issued when a request for quotation is initiated and an error message is issued for all other procurement activities.
3) You can define different operation for incoming inspection plan -  in first operation you can define MIC's related to identification and in next operation you can define the actual inspection mics etc.
