Is Quality management module required to be used for vendor evaluation?

Hi,
There is vendor evaluation functionality in MM. Is use of quality management module is mandatory for this? I wish to track the performance of vendor regarding quality (How much he has supplied, out of which how many are accepted and how many are rejected). Can I get this report without using QM?
Thanks in advance,
Satish

you can enter Quality results manually in vendor evealuation, so QM is not necessary for this, however with QM you can get the scores semi-automatic and  automatically.

  • Reference MIC require to be use for Multiple Plants

    Hi All,
    I have created 2 characteristics and asigned it to one class hence with reference of that i have created MICs for Plant X.
    Accordingly i have assinged those MICs to inspection plan which are cretaed for Plant X.
    After get done result recording and UD , values get copied to batch classification and its working fine.
    Now the problem is that perticular class we are using for another class also (i.e Plant : Y) , because same process is happening in Plant X as well as in Plant Y.
    I have created new inpection plan for Plant Y also sepratly and Material assignment also done.
    For Plant Y , this scenario not working , results not gets copied to batch classification
    As per starndard i can create only 1 MIC against 1 Reference.
    Please advise how same refernce MIC would be work for another plant (i.e Y).
    Thanks,
    Abhishek

    Hi,
    MICs are generally created for one plant but they can be used in inspection plans of different plants. I don't understand where is the gap in this discussion. Pl share if I missed out something.
    Second view could be like this. You have a MIC, let say Quality, which is used in both plants but you want it to get linked with different characteristics (Char 1 for X and Char 2 for Y). If that's the scenario, then yes, you would need to create this MIC for Y also and link with second characteristics.
    Frankly saying, I couldn't understand the real issue here. Is master data the issue or updating of batch master ??
    Also check the following path
    QCC0>Basic settings> Maintain setting at plant level> Choose Plant Y> InsLot Completion. Make sure Batch valuation is set on.
    Additionally, Pl rephrase the following statement,
    Now the problem is that perticular class we are using for another class also (i.e Plant : Y)

  • SQL Server Policy Based Management Condition 'conditionname' cannot be used for filtering.

    Using SQL Server 2008 R2, I am trying to create a condition to be used as a filter at the database level.  So for each database, I would like to test the presence of a Database Extended Property using the following code in the Expression/Field:
    ExecuteSql('String', 'SELECT value FROM sys.extended_properties WHERE class_desc = ''Database'' AND name=''somepropertyname''')
    I created the condition using the Database Facet.
    The condition can be evaluated in a policy, but I cannot use the condition as a filter for a policy against the "Database" filter.  If I create a new condition that can be used as a filter and try to edit that condition, I receive the following
    error:
    "Condition 'conditionname' cannot be used for filtering."
    I cannot find any documentation on the limitations of filters.  I am assuming that ANY use of ExecuteSql would not be allowed.  This filter is important because I am testing the @IsEncrypted of Every StoredProcedure, Every Database.  If the
    database extended property is present, I want to skip the test.

  • Quality Management Scoring

    Hi All,
    Can anybody explain me how the system calculates Quality score (which gets reflected in Vendor Evaluation)?.....any formula or principles etc
    Is there any configuration setting the QM side which helps in controlling that score?
    Requirment - It is intended that one critical defect should not be easily overcome by success on other less critical tests. Currently, it has been set in QM as such the quality score is getting 80 irrespective of pass or fail of many tests
    Thanks

    Hello,
    The score *Goods Receipt (main criterion quality)* is calculated as follows:
    1.     If a material is subject to incoming inspection, part of the delivered material is checked by the quality assurance department when goods are received against a purchase order.
    2.     An inspection lot is created. After the inspection or testing, the person responsible in Quality Management then enters a result and makes a decision as to whether the material can be used.
    3.     All the incoming inspection lots are stored in a file with their scores.
    4.     When you run an automatic re-evaluation for a vendor, the system selects all the incoming inspection lots for the vendor that lie within the validity period and calculates the average of the scores.
    The result is the vendor's score for the quality of goods received.
    The *Quality Audit (Main Criterion "Quality")* score is calculated as follows:
    A quality audit has taken place in one of your vendor's plants. This means that either your own company has carried out a check to determine how the vendor ensures that his products are of a high quality, or the vendor has carried out the audit himself.
    1.     An audit lot is created by Quality Management. When the audit has been completed, the person responsible determines a score for this audit lot.
    2.     All the audit lots are stored in a file with their scores.
    3.     When you run an automatic re-evaluation of a vendor, the system selects all the audit lots for the vendor within the validity period.
    4.     The parameter Quality audit is read from Customizing.
    5.     If the indicator is set, the system calculates the average score for all the quality audits in the validity period. The result is the vendor's score for the quality audit.
    If the indicator is not set, only the most recent audit lot is included. This then represents the vendor's score for the subcriterion.
    The Evaln. QM system field on the screen for the main criterion "Quality" shows you the score that was awarded to the Quality Management system (e.g. ISO 9003 with certificate) used by the vendor. It is only displayed if the Prev. QM system field is filled in the vendor master record. The score is awarded by the QM system and is for information purposes only. Display the vendor master record to see which quality system the vendor uses. You can use the content of the field for your own program and have this score included in the vendoru2019s quality score.
    Complaints/Rejection Level (Main Criterion "Quality")
    The score for the subcriterion Complaints/Rejection Level is computed by the SAP component QM Quality Management and passed on to the MM Vendor Evaluation component.
    If the scale for the key quality data in the QM system does correspond to the scoring range in Vendor Evaluation, the Vendor Evaluation system converts the QM data for use in the Vendor Evaluation scoring system.
    The score is calculated as follows:
    9.     On the shop-floor, material A supplied by vendor ACME is being processed in the course of production.
    10.     If the material is OK (that is to say, no quality notifications have been entered for material A during the entire validity period), the vendor is awarded the highest score for the material (100 points).
    11.     If the material is found to be defective, a quality notification (such as a rejection note or nonconformance complaint sent to the vendor) is entered.
    12.     During the vendor evaluation process, the system checks whether the costs associated with the faulty delivery exceed the maximum percentage of business volume defined in the Customizing system.
    In the above example, your business volume with (value of purchases from) ACME amounts to one million dollars annually. The costs associated with defective deliveries may not exceed 0.1 percent of business volume, i.e. $100,000. The costs associated with a quality notification are estimated at $500.
    13.     If the costs that your company incurs as a result of the faulty materials are lower than the defined proportion of business volume, the system calculates a score between 1 and 99 points.
    To do this, the system multiplies your annual business volume with the vendor ($1,000,000) by the parameter Business volume share (0.1).
    The number of accumulated quality notifications (10 in all) multiplied by the cost of each notification ($ 500) is subtracted from this.
    The result is divided by the annual business volume multiplied by the proportion of business volume.
    The result of this is a factor which, multiplied by a hundred, gives a percentage.
    This percentage indicates the quality provided by the vendor in relation to the particular material. The value 95% in the above example means that complaints or rejections involving the vendor ACME only resulted in 5% of the maximum costs allowed, i.e. the quality is very good.
    Note on Scoring Range and Conversion QM - MM:
    Since the minimum points score that can be obtained is not 0 (0 means "not evaluated") but 1, only 99 points are available in the range 1 to 100.
    This is why the system works out how many points out of 99 the value 95% corresponds to.
    The result is 94 points.
    Since the bottom of the scoring range has been moved up by one point (1 point is the worst score not 0), the system adds on 1 point.
    ACME therefore achieves a score of 95 points for the subcriterion Complaints/Rejection Level for material A.
    14.     If the cost of defective or non-conforming deliveries exceeds the share of business volume defined in Customizing (in this case $100,000), the vendor is awarded the lowest score (1 point).
    The score for the subcriterion Complaints/Rejection Level is computed by the SAP component QM Quality Management and passed on to the MM Vendor Evaluation component.

  • Quality score and vendor evaluation?

    Dear Sapient,
    Can any one help me to know how quality score in QA11 or QA12 is hitting vendor evaluation programs?
    Regards,
    Kaushal Rai

    Hi
    Rejection/complaint : This comes from the Following calculation.
    Only consider the Q2 type of notification score.
    If no complaint then this is 100 otherwise following formula:
    The complaints score is calculated from the number of complaints against the vendor, according to the following formula:
    QSc = QScmin + (QScmax - QScmin) * (1 - (N * K) / (F * U))
    QSc = QScmin if  (N * K) > (F * U)
    QScmin  =  Lower limit for QSc
    QKZmax  =  Upper limit for QSc
    N       =  Number of Q-notifications in the applicability period
    K       =  Estimated nonconformity costs
    F       = Share of business volume for QSc calculation
    U       =  Sales of the vendor in the applicability period
    K is maintained at
    QCC0>Quality notification->Information system--->Define NC cost for Vendor Evaluation
    Audit:
    The audit score is either the average quality score for the audits or is made up of the quality scores for the most recent audits. You can also enter an audit score manually.
    This is 07 inspection type average score.
    Again depend upon UD score of 07 inspection type.
    I hope this will help

  • Quality management( difference between sampling procedure & sample drawing)

    Hi Experts,
    I am very new to quality management module & working in united states. i am trying to find difference between sampling procedure & sample drawing procedure.
    I see that sample drawing procedure is assigned to Inspection Plan & sampling procedure is assigned to characteristics, But i don't know the difference between these two, Please help me.
    Regards,
    Seshu

    Hi,
    SAMPLING PROCEDURE :
    A procedure that contains the rules for determining the sample size for an inspection. The sampling procedure also specifies the type of valuation to use for results recording (attributive, variable, or manual).
    Use
    You assign a sampling procedure to each characteristic in an inspection plan to calculate the sample size.
    Integration
    In a sampling procedure, you must activate the function for inspection points based on a sample-drawing procedure if you assigned a sampling procedure and a sample-drawing procedure to an inspection plan at the characteristic and header levels respectively.
    SAMPLE DRAWING PROCEDURE:
    Definition
    A master data object in which you plan the drawing of physical samples. In the sample-drawing procedure, you specify:
    Which categories of physical samples must be drawn
    How many physical samples must drawn
    The size of each physical sample
    Whether the drawing of physical samples must be confirmed
    Use
    The system uses the information in the sample-drawing procedure together with the information in the inspection plan to calculate the physical sample sizes, and to create physical-sample records when an inspection lot is created.
    Structure
    A sample-drawing procedure contains the following types of information:
    Header data
    The sample drawing header contains the following information fields and control indicators:
    Key that identifies the sample-drawing procedure
    Short text description for the sample-drawing procedure
    Authorization group that limits the access to the sample-drawing procedure
    Text for matchcode searches
    Long text indicator
    Indicator for calculating the number of physical samples on the basis of number of containers in the inspection lot (as opposed to the base unit of measure)
    Confirmation indicator to activate or deactivate the confirmation requirement
    Lock indicator to prevent the sample-drawing procedure from being used
    Usage indicator that shows whether the sample-drawing procedure is currently used in an inspection plan
    Sample-drawing item(s)
    A sample-drawing item contains specific instructions for creating physical samples with respect to a specific inspection lot container type and specific partial-sample numbers in the inspection plan. In a sample-drawing item, you can also specify:
    Which categories of physical samples you want to create (primary samples, pooled samples, and reserve samples)
    The physical sample container you use to draw each category of physical sample
    A factor to increase the quantity of physical samples to be created (for example, if you need to carry out more than one inspection)
    The number of physical samples to be created (fixed number or variable number based on a sampling scheme)
    Integration
    The sample-drawing procedure interacts with the following planning objects:
    Inspection plan
    You assign a sample-drawing procedure to an inspection plan to activate the functions for sample management.
    Sampling scheme (optional)
    If you want the system to determine the number of physical samples automatically on the basis of a sampling scheme, you can reference sampling schemes in a sample-drawing procedure.
    Hope it helps...

  • RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE: The function module "DD_DTEL_GET" cannot be used.

    Hi there,
    I´m trying to launch NWCE 7.1 Webdynpro applications accessing ABAP function with no success.
    The landscape consists of an SAP NWCE 7.1 EHP1 (Trial) and an SAP NW 2004s ABAP (Licensed). NW2004s is configured as Gateway and Message Server for the SLD. I can ping/test JCOs successfully and the SLD seems to work fine. RZ70 and SM59 show no errors in the "R3" side and both systems seem to be well-registered as Technical Systems.

    As far as I know, one of the JCO conectors is used for retrieving metadata, that is, data related to types, lenghts, etc. The FM "DD_DTEL_GET" is used for that kind of operations and the second exception is related to that aswell (com.sap.mdi.ddtypes.DDDataelement.getDescription).
    I don´t know what else should I test in order to launch an RFC function from WDJ and the trial version is about to expire!
    Does anyone know about any oss note or any other tips related to this issue, please?
    I am going to test the conectivity via Visual Composer and see whether it´s possible :S
    Let me know if you need anymore info about the situation.
