QM Catalogs / Codes / Selected Sets

Hi,
Can any one please explain what exactly are Catalogs, Code groups, Selected Sets and their codes?
Regards,
Pavan

hello
1) Catalog are codes defined to manage and standardize information. It consists a set of codes which can be used for different functions
In Standard SAP different catalogs are defined for 1. characteristic attribute u2013 mailing used for qualitative result recording . 2.- task catalog 9 . defect catalog, E u2013 Defect locations etc.
This helps in analysis better
2) Code groups are defined within a catalog type
For eg in catalog 1 characteristic attribute you can define colour as code group. Code group actually holds a set of codes
3) Codes make up the lowest level of a catalog. They can describe, for example, a characteristic attribute, a defect type, a defect location or a usage decision.
For eg for code group colour the codes can green , yellow, white etc
4) Selected sets define whether a particular code is accepted or rejected. This defined for each plan
So code group colour , code green is acceptable, yellow is rejected
You can check this link which has given all the details

Code groups, codes & selected sets during UD

Dear Friends,
Can I create my own catalog types.
I have created my own catalog types.
1) For Usage Decision (R)
2) For Defets recording (P)
During defect recording the system is picking the code groups & codes created by me and which are assigned . It is not showing other ones.
But during Usage decision it is picking all the code groups, codes & selected sets attached to standard UD catalog "3".
I am unable to understand how the system is behaving like this.
I have created my own notification type Y1. I have created my Catalog profile (YQM000001).
I have assigned this profile to inspection type.
I have assigned this notification type to inspection type.
In the catalog profile YQM000001, I have assigned two catalogs (R & P).
In catalogs & catalog profile for notification type, problems field assigned the catalog type "P".
One more issue while recording the defects I am getting notification type as Y1 (created by me) but the catalog profile is showing standard one "QM0000001".
I am unable to understand these all. Do anybody has got any solution.

Dear Anuradha,
There is no need to create separate catalog type for your problem of displaying specific UD codes while giving user decision. You can assign the specific 'UD selected set' from catalog type 3 ( User decision) in SPRO ' Maintain inspection type' for QM. Following is the path you can assign the desired UD option you need to see while recording UD:
SPRO >> Quality Management >> Quality Inspection >> Inspection lot creation >> Maintain inspection types >>execute >> select the inspection type say '01' and view details >> there will be field UD selected set, assign the specific selected set made for your plant and save.
By doing this when you go for giving any UD, codes defined by you only will be displayed (not all).
Didn't understand your issue related to notification, but in same above screen you can also assign notification type for particular insp. type.
Looking at your requirement there is no need to create separate insp type or notification type just make proper use of existing one and do proper assignment.
Please let me know if you have any problem in resolving this.
Best Regards,
Shekhar

Catalogs and selected sets

Hi, how catalogs qs41 and selected sets qs51 are related? can u pls explain with one example?

Hi
There is one best thread for this....
Re: Code group & selected sets
In addition to that
catalogs : Are the code Gr & codes.
selected sets :Selected set are the codes which are from different code gruops in simple language.
Say example defect code 9:
code gr X -->has codes
                               A:
                               B:
                               C:
Code Gr Y-->has codes
                                  E:
                                  F:
                                  G:
Now I will create a selected set with codes like
Selected set XY-->has codes
                                           A:
                                            C:
                                            F:
                                            G:
That means from different code grups I have selected some codes which I have added in one selected set.
similerly only few codes of one code group can be added in to selected set.
This is advantage of selected set.& how they are related.

Catalogs and Selected Sets for end user

Hi
When we enter a code in Char. Attribute catalog or a selected set code, the system requires transport request. How can my end user maintain, catalogs and selected sets after go live?

See following steps. You will need BASIS people to set this up. Also check OSS notes as they have some notes on this.

Selected Sets for Catalog code - 9

Dear all,
I am aware that Selected sets can be created only for Catalog type 1 & 3. But in our business we have classified different type of defect codes in type 9. Evenhough I am attaching specific catalog defect type in MIC, when I see it in the notification screen, whole list of defect type is showing. Is there any possibility to group the defect codes according to the plant? (For your info - We have 4 different plant and each one of them has to use different catalog type as product manufactured is different)
Regards,
R.Ponniah ;

hi,
Use catalog profile for specific defect type, plant wise it is not possible in std SAP, better to define catalog profile and assign all defect type code grp. in that profile and assign that profile with ur notification type. goto config (SPRO)-> Quality Notification>Defect Recording-> define notification type----> and maintain all in that pop- up one by one.
Defect type is not plant specific.

Selected set assignment to code group

I have maintained a catalog " S", under which i have maintained code groups and codes in QS41, but here the usage indicator is deactive. I cannot select it.
Now when i use QS51,i am unable to view the codes. the selected set is empty. In this case how to assign the code groups and codes to seleccted set.
any help, i am new to qm

There is some confusion you have in code gr & selected set.
In simple words -->in QS41 you create defect codes & code gr for catalo types like 1,3,9 etc.
But in QS51 you combine different codes from code grs to form selected sets.Practically selected sets are only used for Characteristics attributes(1) and Usage decision(3) and by default they carry valuations.
For catalog defect type (9) I would suggest to add and create your own codes and code groups as per business requirement in QS41.You should not actually create selected set for catalog 9.

Code group & selected sets

Can anybody please tell me,
Why & when it is necessary to maintain code group & selected sets. Where it is then use. What is releation between them.Will appreciate if explain with suitable example from industry. Please helpout.Newcomer in QM.

HI
code groups are used in Notifications and quality result parameters.
Code groups are used to combine and structure codes within a catalog type
code groups at client level to group codes that have the same contents or relate to one another, within a catalog type. Codes, that are assigned to a code group are also known as group codes.
When you maintain the code group index, the system locks the required catalog type for other users. However, if you use the individual maintenance function, only the required code group is locked.
these are can ot create by plant wise.
1.when you have material which measures by means of color then you canhave code group color and codes of red ,black etc..
2.if you have defect codes then you can mention them
3.if you have problems of perticular part, then in notification by use of codegroups and codes you can enter the data.
A selected set contains a combination of different codes at plant level, for example, coded descriptions of characteristic attributes (such as color, shape, surface characteristics), defect causes or usage decisions from different code groups.
selected sets to combine codes from several code groups for processing that are allowed or useful for a particular application.
Codes that are copied into a selected set are known as set codes.
When you maintain the selected set index, the system locks the required catalog type for other users. However, if you use the individual maintenance function, only the required selected set is locked.
4.with combinationof code and code groups you can create the selected sets , canbe used in Usage decission.(ex:aprroved, no approved,ok, not ok etc)
Code groups are createsd by Qs41

Displaying long text maintained for selected set codes in result recording

Hi Gurus,
I have maintained qualitative mic.For this mic i have defined selected set codes & for these selected set codes i have maintained long text.
My client requirement is that this long text should be visible while doing result recording for the mic.Is this possible.
Regards
Amit

How can they expect that? Long text can be... well.. long....... How can you include that on the same screen as results recording. What if you have 5 charac with long text? What if each selected set choice has long text and you had two choices for each? That's ten sections of long text on one screen? Impossible.
Printing the long text on the cert shouldn't be a problem. You just have to get someone to code it into the layout set.

Where Used for Code groups or Selected Sets

Dear all,
can any body plz tell me how can i know which code group or selected set is used in what qualitative MICs.
either any report or transaction...
thanks in advance
zeeshan

Hi Zeeshan,
According to my information,,,
For Code Group
In QS41/42/43/44, reach up to the second screen "Change View: Codes" Overview. And then click on the "Used in Selected Set" Or short key "CntrlShiftF3"
For Selected Set.
I think no such std sap report is available. But what you can do is use the work bench CWBQM in display mode,,,,,
- CWBQM---> select the "Current Working Area" as "Q_OPR_000000000010".
- Apply the Basic Selection or Additional Selection Criteria" and then press Cntrl+F7.
- the list of the MIC data will be available here.
Or
You have to write done a query SQVI
Or
Develop a customized report.

Shyamal

UD - Selected set code does not exist

Dear All,
We have create material in 0001 plant. It is consumable material and QA is not required. But by mistake Inspection flag was activited in material master.
Now material received is in QA Stock. We have created inspection plan and not inspection lot is in REL status.
During UD system shows following message :
"Selected set code does not exist, or data entered is incomplete"
Is there any way to take stock in unrestricted without doing any QA activity ?
Thanks and Regards,
Nirav

Hi,
Why don't you simply complete the Stock posting using 'Inspection lot stock' tab in QA32?
If you only need to take the stock out of QI and doesn't need Usage decision then why do bother about it.
Besides, this error comes when the UD selected set defined in Configuration is not maintained for the Plant.
To check this, Follow this path,
QCC0> Quality inspection> Maintain inspection type. Select the Relative inspection type and see what is maintained.
Once you maintain this Selected set for the plant 0001 using QS51, you won't get this error. Other way, define that selected set in the configuration which is already maintained for the plant.

Selected Set codes problem in QS41

Dear Experts
I am working in a support environment.
I need to change the description of selected set code which has already created in QS51.
The problem here is, the codes under a particular code group is shown in QS51 but it is missing in QS41.
Normally after creating the codes in QS41, we assign it in QS51.
In my case it is not there in QS41 but it is assigned in QS51 and description is greyed out in QS51.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards
Bala

Dear Bala
Please check the reason why these codes are missing. There might be some deletion.
What you can do is create these datas again in QS41 and then update the QS51 again. This is the only possibility I see

Extension of MIC/code-group/selected set to other plants

Hi Experts,
In any plant even if we do not extend the MICs, groups and selected sets, we can go ahead with result recording and usage decision if we can include the MIC/selected set, etc. from some other plant in the inspection plan. Is it therefore necessary to extend these parameters to all plants in the landscape ? Experts please suggest if there is any other reason for extension.
Best regards
Sm.

No. The plan is assigned automatically. If the only assignment is to the central plan then the central plan will be picked automatically.
When you go into the material assignment you enter in the plant Id for the material being assigned.
If material 1000023 is in plants 1000, 1001, 10002 and 1003 and you create the plan in plant 1000 you would then have 4 assignment in the plan assignment area of the plan.
1 1000 1000023
1 1001 1000023
1 1002 1000023
1 1003 1000023
(1 is the group counter)
The automatic search for the plan is not limited to plans in the plant of the inspectiion lot.

Data transfer of Selected sets (QS51) using Function modules

Hi All,
I am doing data migration of Selected sets (TCODE QS51) using function module. I have tried using BDC recording but it is not working in background.In foreground it is giving information error on second screen as field RQSKT-AUSWAHLMGE is not present on screen 1000.. In foreground I am pressing enter after this error its working fine but in background the execution stops there. So I am trying function modules QPAM_SELSET_CODE_CREATE and QPAM_SELECTED_SET_CREATE
The fields in template I have are KATALOGART(Catalog), WERKS(Plant),AUSWAHLMGE(Selected set) ,KTX01(short text), STATUS(status),CODEGRUPPE(code group), CODE (code), KURZTEXT (short text for codegroup),BEWERTUNG(Valuation code), FEHLKLASSE(Defect class)
QPAM_SELSET_CODE_CREATE contains fields KATALOGART, WERKS,AUSWAHLMGE ,CODEGRUPPE,CODE which I need and While stand alone testing of this function module I am geting error as follows with the data filled :
Runtime:        6.496 Microseconds
Exception       WRONG_KEY
Message ID:          QS                         Message number:           299
Message:
No entries were found in catalog 1
MAN WERK K AUSWAHLM CODEGRUP CODE
300 WI10 1 DDTEST   THREADS 1
QPAM_SELECTED_SET_CREATE contains KATALOGART , WERKS,AUSWAHLMGE , KTX01 which I need and it requires Language key fiels KSP01. I specified it it executes successfully but in transaction it is not there. some FMs contain some fields and not all fields so I want to know which one to use ? Can anyone give me sample code how to use these FMs?

Note 381286 - Code grps + selectd sets:Transport request requestd
Note 592418 - Composite SAP note: Transport of code groups and codes
But I do not recommend a modification because the system does not generate request for that in the production system.
This means you can maintain catalog directly without transport in the production system.
Only development or test system ask you a request number.

Luke
