Quality Audit

Hi Experts,
I need your inputs on the above subject.
Kindly tell me what transactions i have to check to know the quality of PS implementation or Flow of Transactions with integration of SD,MM,FICO
If any body have in Quality Audit, kindly share your experience
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Pratap

Hi Pratap ,
There are no specific transactions to check the quality of implementation but what can be done is like you can have a self analysis by running the process implemented as per the business scenario.
For example, If somebody has mapped a customer project scenario , then transactions can be run as per the defined process like first we can have quotation -> Project Structure ( creation of wbs elements) -> Project planning (cost planning, budgeting, revenue planning etc.) -> project execution ( procurment of materials, resource allocation, services in project etc.) and so on.
So, like this we can simultaneuosly check whether the budget is being utilized or not ?
Procurment can be done or not ?
Proper posting are being done and reflecting in FICO ?
GR / IR , service entries are going good enough or not ?
Whether billing is going good as per the sales order with respective postings of cost in FICO ?
G/L accounts created in controlling are properly mapped in CO with correct company codes and plants ??? and whether we
are gettind right postings in right controlling area, company codes etc . ?
Similiar things can be checked by different consultants sitting at one place and running a process once simultaneously.
May my suggestion help you upto some extent.
Thanks ,
Dhruv Kumar Malhotra

  • 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.
    You can find this information in help.sap.com
    I hope it helps!

  • Regarding creation of inspection lot origin-03

    Dear all,
                  The standard  behaviour of inspection type 03 is When production order is released inspection lot is created.Client requirement is when particular operation is confirmed only inspection lot to be generated.Is it possible?
    For example in routing there are 7 operations and in the sixth operation is Quality audit opeation
    inspection  lot is created when production order is released,  lot is generated but the requirement is when fifth operation is confirmed only lot to be generated.
    with regards
    kumar

    Hi Senthil Kumar,
    AS per best of my information concern your issue can't get resolved with inspection type 03. But yest at time of confirming the Fifth operation you can get the 04 inspection lot triggered by calling the auto GR at this operation confirm by setting the control key at these operation. and these 04 lot can be triggered more than one time for an order.
    Regards,
    Shyamal

  • Vendor performance reports

    Hi Gurus,
    are there any reports in LIS that show the vendor performance based on quality, on time delivery and etc. we do not want to use the supplier delivery vendor evaluation componenet of the MM. But can anybody please tell me what reports are out there that will meet the criteria
    Thanks
    Anusha

    You can perform standard analyses with key figures (scores) from Vendor Evaluation. The Standard analysis function is integrated in the Logistics Information System (LIS), but it can also be invoked from the Purchasing menu.
    Refer to the documentation LO Logistics Information System to familiarize yourself with the Logistics Information System. You will find information on the functions in the section Standard Analyses and information on key figures in the section How the Key Figures are Calculated.
    Using the standard analysis, you can generate various views of Vendor Evaluation data and generate a graphical display of each view. In contrast to the other analyses and reports in Vendor Evaluation, the standard analysis provides you with
    the cumulative scores from all periods, and
    the score for just one period.
    Standard Analysis and LIS
    The data determined in Vendor Evaluation is written to a special statistics file (information structure S013) within the LIS and from there utilized for analysis purposes. The data (or key figures) are the scores for the following criteria:
    Quantity reliability
    On-time delivery performance
    Adherence to confirmation date
    Inbound delivery (currently not updated)
    Compliance with shipping instructions
    Quality audit (currently not updated)
    Quality of external service provision
    Timeliness of external service provision
    You wish to monitor whether vendor ACME delivers material A on time and in the right quantity. You want to see his scores for the months January, February, and March - both the scores for each month and the cumulative score.
    Procedure
    Starting from the system menu, choose Logistics ® Materials management ® Purchasing, master data ® Vendor evaluation ® Standard analysis.
    You can also invoke the function via Logistics ® Logistics Controlling ® Purchasing information system, Standard analyses ® Vendor evaluation.
    Enter the desired parameters.
    Choose Vendor evaluation analysis ® Execute.
    You will obtain a list of results with characteristic values (e.g. all vendors for a purchasing organization with their scores).
    You can process the list according to a variety of criteria:
    a. Position the cursor on a characteristic value (e.g. a vendor) and choose, for example, View ® Drill down by.
    b. Select the desired type of view (e.g. Material) and confirm.
    A list of characteristic values will appear (for example, all materials for a vendor plus their scores).
    c. Carry out steps a) and b) for the other types of view too, if desired (for example, Month).
    d. For a better overview generate the view via Goto ® Graphic.

  • Vendor evaluation - Price level

    Hi,
    pls can anybody help me to explain procedure how system calculating the sub criteria PRICE LEVEL, PRICE HISTORY , ONTIME DELIVERY,QTY RELIABILITY (Under main criteria PRICE,DELIVERY) in vendor evaluation process.
    Possible give sample calculation.
    Aparji

    Price Level
    This subcriterion compares relationship of a vendor's price to the market price. If the vendor's price is lower than the market price, he/she receives a good score; if it is higher than the market price he/she is assigned a poor score.
    On the basis of the subcriterion "Price Level" you can compare a vendor's price to the current market price at a certain point in time.
    Price History
    This subcriterion compares the development of the vendor's price with the market price.
    On the basis of the subcriterion "Price History", you can determine whether the vendor's price has increased or decreased over a certain period in comparison with changes in the market price over the same period.
    Goods Receipt
    This subcriterion is used to evaluate the quality of the material that the vendor delivers. Quality inspection takes place at the time of goods receipt.
    Quality Audit
    This subcriterion is used to evaluate the quality assurance system used by a company in manufacturing products.
    Complaints/Rejection Level
    This subcriterion is used to evaluate whether the materials delivered by the vendor are regularly found to be faulty subsequent to incoming inspection (for example, on the shop-floor) leading to additional expense and loss of time (due to loss of production, reworking etc.).
    The score (QM key quality figure) is calculated in QM Quality Management and the data passed on to MM Vendor Evaluation. This key quality figure is converted for use in the Vendor Evaluation scoring system.
    On-Time Delivery Performance
    This subcriterion is used to determine how precisely a vendor has adhered to the specified delivery dates.
    Quantity Reliability
    This subcriterion is used to determine whether a vendor has delivered the quantity specified in the purchase order.
    "On-Time Delivery Performance" and "Quantity Reliability" always have to be seen in conjunction. You can specify for each material (in the material master record) or for all materials (in the system settings) the minimum quantity of the ordered materials that must be delivered in order for a goods receipt to be included in the evaluation. This enables you to avoid a situation in which a punctual goods receipt involving only a small quantity of ordered materials is included in the evaluation with a good score for "On-Time Delivery Performance". If this minimum quantity is not delivered, the vendor is not awarded a score. However, in this case the vendor

  • To start with SAP BI/BW

    Hello!
    I would like to get familiar with practical part of SAP BI/BW.
    I went through course materials BW305 and BW310
    I also already completed simple example s. bellow

    Hi Thom Heinemann  ,
    The following websites containing PDF & PPT docs on BI will gain u confidence :
    What is a BW datasource?What is meant by maintaining a datasource?
    A BW datasource is a structure which is created in the source system and replicated to the BW system. Maintaining a datasource in a source system is doing any changes related to the datasource. It could be adding/deleting fields or checking the flags in the datasource like the hide and selection flag. Also, if the datasource is provided in the LO Cockpit, changes can be made there too depending on how the extraction of data is ...

    Creating SAP BW data source definitions

    An InfoCube describes a self-contained dataset (from the reporting view), for example, for a business-oriented area. This dataset can be evaluated with the BEx query.An InfoCube is a set of relational tables that are created in accordance with the star schema: a large fact table in the center, with several dimension tables surrounding it.
    In its esence, Infocube is a data container. Data containers are used as a basis for analysis and reporting processes in SAP BW. Infocubes in SAP BW serve exactly this purpose. Infocubes in SAP consist of Key figures and characteristics. You can find some detailed information on key figures here. Simply speaking, infocube is any repository which contains data. Moving on to the types of infocubes. In SAP BW, there are basically two classes of infocubes. These are:
    Basic Infocubes - These are also called as physical infocubes.
    Remote Infocubes - These are also called as virtual infocubes.
    The basic difference between the above two types of infocubes is that basic infocubes are physically stored in the same SAP BW system as their meta data description. Remote infocubes are stored on a third party custom SAP BW. Both the above types of BW infocubes consist of key figures and characteristics. These characteristics in turn are divided into 16 dimensions. More on that in another post.

    Extract Structure
    In the extract structure, data from a DataSource is staged in the source system. The extract structure contains the amount of fields that are offered by an extractor in the source system for the data loading process. You can edit and enhance DataSource extract structures in the source system. To do this, in the BW Administrator Workbench choose Goto à Modeling à Source Systems à Your Source System à Context Menu (right mouse click) à Customizing Extractors à Subsequent Processing of DataSources.
    Transfer Structure
    The transfer structure is the structure in which the data is transported from the source system into the SAP Business Information Warehouse. It provides a selection of the extract structure fields for the source system.
    Use
    The transfer structure provides BW with all the source system information available for a business process.
    An InfoSource in BW requires at least one DataSource for data extraction. DataSource data that logically belongs together is staged in an extract structure in an SAP source system.
    In the transfer structure maintenance, you determine which extract structure fields are transferred to the BW. When you activate the transfer rules in BW, an identical transfer structure for BW is created in the source system from the extractor structure.
    This data is transferred 1:1 from the transfer structure of the source system into the BW transfer structure, and is then transferred into the BW communication structure using the transfer rules.
    A transfer structure always refers to a DataSource from a source system and an InfoSource in BW.
    You get to the maintenance of the transfer structure using the InfoSource tree of the Administrator Workbench. The context menu of the source system belonging to an InfoSource provides you with the maintenance marker using the function Maintain Transfer Rules.

    SAP Business Information Warehouse
    SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) is the name of the Business Intelligence, analytical, reporting and Data Warehousing (DW) solution which is one of the major enterprise software applications produced by SAP AG. It was originally named SAP BIW, (Business Information Warehouse), but is now known as "SAP NetWeaver BI".
    SAP BW consists among other things of components for data management (Data Warehousing Workbench), extensive data modeling capabilities, an embedded analytical engine, a suite of rich front-end analytical tools refererred to as Business Explorer (BEx), and operational tools used for importing the most current transactional data into the system. It may be helpful to consider layers that make up the structure of SAP's BI solution:
    Extraction, Transformation and Load (ETL) layer - responsible for extracting data from a specific source, applying transformation rules, and loading it into SAP BW system.
    Data warehouse area - responsible for storing the information in various types of structures, including multidimensional structures called InfoCubes.
    Reporting - responsible for accessing the information in data warehouse area and presenting it in a user-friendly manner to the analyst or business user.
    Planning - Provides capabilities for the user to run simulations and perform tasks such as budget calculations.
    SAP's BI application is a very pervasively employed data warehouse / analytical enterprise software solution, often utilized heavily by companies that essentially run their business on SAP operational systems such as SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP ERP, traditionally known as SAP R/3). SAP's BI solution contains a large number of predefined "extractors", a very significant amount of pre-defined business content in the form of InfoCubes, master data (i.e. objects representing the entity for "Customer", or "Material"), authorization roles, query views and reports all delivered in the software by SAP. Some of the significant benefits of this approach include the ability to leverage SAP's substantial business knowledge from many years of developing extremely sophisticated software systems for the world's largest companies, typically shortening project development cycles in the process. The pre-defined business content can be modified to meet an organization's specific requirements, while at the same time taking advantage of general aspects of these delivered data models and reports that are somewhat foundational and have broad application in business, government, and education.
    SAP BW is now part of a suite of SAP applications called SAP NetWeaver. Other components of SAP NetWeaver include SAP Enterprise Portal (EP, called SAP NetWeaver Portal as of Release 7.0), Web Application Server (WAS), SAP Process Integration (PI, or previously XI, i.e. eXchange Infrastructure) and Master Data Management (MDM).
    The 7.0 version of SAP BW was released in June 2006 as part of the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (aka 2004s). This new release includes many new features, such as next-generation reporting and analytical features, major data warehousing enhancements, and possibility to use innovative techology for query performance optimization called "BI Accelerator". BI Accelerator (or BIa) comes as an external applicance, i.e. complete hardware with pre-installed software. BIa requires separate licence fee.
    From SAP NetWeaver 7.0 on, the term SAP BW is obsolete, and instead it is referred simply as "SAP NetWeaver BI" - i.e. "SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BI".
    According to SAP, more than 12,000 installations of SAP's BI solution exist.
