Quality Notification Config

Hi,
My company implemented 4.6C in 2004. At that time, we had configured our Quality Notification types. Nearly 3 years later, I want to optimize their designs but since we have more than 6,000 QNs created by this point, I don't want to risk losing any historical data.. nor do I want to re-invent the wheel in order to redesign what we have.
One improvement I'd like to make is to set up a series of 'tasks' that can be automatically assigned to a QN type upon creation of the QN. Currently, the tasks are created individually which seems like a lot of wasted time if we know upfront that the same 4 or 5 task 'steps' are required. Does anyone have experience with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Charlie

Hello Charlie,
We achieved the same by implementing the following two user exits:
EXIT_SAPMIWO0_001 - Default Values when Creating a Notification
EXIT_SAPMIWO0_019 - Default Values when Creating a Task
We basically hard coded the required values in the user exit EXIT_SAPMIWO0_001
I have the code somewhere and I can look for it if you require.
Cheers !

QM_Control on Required start date in quality notifications

Dear QM experts,
Requirement is,
For Q2 notification type the entries in required start date filed (QMEL-STRMN) to be restricted in such a way so that user can not do entry for last month.
Foe example,
1.     Today is June 12, 2009. If a user is creating Q2 notification today he/she may change the required start date in the past but not before 1st June 2009.
2.     User should be in a position to enter back date in required filed only for the current month
3.     The concept is just similar to period closing activities.
I tried through SPRO-Quality Management-Quality notifications-Notification creation u2013Notification types-Define screen templates-Field Selection: General Screens. Here there is facility to make the field grey, hide or required. One of the limitations is that this is client level setting.
Can the requirement be mapped for particular plant and for perticular notification type?
Thanks is advance
Best Regards,
Anand Rao

Dear Anand
Here are some of the thoughts. Please check and then come back with your feedback
1) Make Priority button mandatory for Q2 notification .VIQMEL-PRIOK. You can do only for Notification type Q2 by using the influencing fields
2) Make required date in grey so that no changes can be done . do this notification Q2
2) Maintain QM priorities SPRO >Quality Notifications > Notification Processing>Response Control> Define Priorities
3) Maintain Priorities in the QM priority in the same config
When you set the priority in the notification required from and end date is updated in the system automatically
4) Use this exit QQMA0018 Deadline setting based on entered priority to make sure that always the date doesnt fall on past date
Hope this gives some idea

Issue ith Long text in Quality Notification.

Hi All,
I have an Issue with Quality Notification long text change functionality.User reported that he can only append the additional text and can't edit the alaready entered screen. When I verified the config for the notification type it shows that 'Log line' check box have been checked and "No text" change Check Box Not checked. We need log lind and the same time user can edit the alkready entered screen. We are using Ecc 6.0 system.
Please guide me to fix that Issue.
Regards,
Senthil

Hi,
you should check in configuration the part "Overview of Notification Type" (Quality Management>>Quality Notifications>>Overview of Notification Type).
When you select your notification type you go to "Format Long text" and there you can disable "No text change". This option is useful when you want to add text but don't want to allow modification of existing text.
Hope this help,
Serge

Change of quality notification document type

Hello guys,
the SAP enables change of notificaiton type, but only if original notification has origin "General notification". Has somebody succeeded to change also notification with origin "Q1 Customer complaint", meaning Quality notification.
Thanks
Br, Jan

In config, you have to explicitly define what changes you allow.
Most of my clients have defined their own not. Types. So we have to define for each one, what other not. type it is allowed to be changed to.
In config, under the Quality Notifications area, select Notification Creation --> Notification Type --> Allowed Change of Notification Type.
It should be pretty clear once you are in there.
You must test the conversion however. Read the config help and it will talk about inconsistencies. The data from the source QN must map ok to the target QN. If you special requirements in the target QN like certain mandatory fields, it might nit be possible to make the conversion. Each possible conversion should be carefully tested.

Workflow Send Mail when Quality Notification is Complete

Hi All,
I need help related to QN Workflow, which is copy of standard workflow WS24500047.
In this case , when all tasks are marked completed and get stated TSCO in QM02, against individual tasks.
But, on completion of tasks, no mails is being sent to the coordinator, presently.
A mail should be sent to the coordinator, in case all tasks are released and marked as completed.
Please suggest how do I implement the above functionality.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
Thanks for all your answers
We have resolved the issue.
Problem was with the configuration settings
We had to do config settings in 3 places:
1) SPRO/ Quality Management / Quality Notifications / Notification Processing / Activate Workflow template / Click on Activate event linking/ Place cursor on task group / click Object button / select tab workflow template and add the custom workflow / Go back and then open the workflow from the list and activate the events
2) Add the events in transaction SWE2 for the custom business object.
3) Add the events in the transaction BSVW for the custom busines object.
Thanks and Regards,

Quality Notifications-F4 values for "Department responsible"&"Coordinator"

I would like to create few F4 values for "Department responsible" & "Coordinator" for Quality notifications Please let me know how to do it.

Dear Vemula Anji
You can give the coordinator in the F4 if you have set in the config for partner type as Coordinator (user) ,
partner function KU and partner type as US which means you are relating it to the SAP user.
You can use organisation Unit ie the dept responsible only if you are using SAP HR. You can create the same using PP01 t code choosing the object type.
Hope this helps

BADI or Userexit For QM01(Quality Notification)

Dear Experts,
I want to add some extra fields in QM01 .
Is there is any BADI or userexit available for QM01(Quality Notification).
Please give me some solution.
Regards,
Sanket.

Hi,
SPRO-->Quality management >Notification> Overview of notification types-->Select the notification & 90 give the customer specific screen area
this is the process where we will add the screen...
Go to Function group is XQQM in SE80....create the screen which you have added in config...example 0090 ....
No wgo to includes tab you will see one z*TOP include there you declare the fields you want on this custom screen ....
example : dist type char3.
In the PBO and PAI validations you can make for the added fields as we do in normal Module pool.
In the PAI event create a module and pass the values to the structure VIQMEL.
for example if your added field is dist.
Pass as
VIQMEL-dist = dist.
Go to cmod create a project ,give the enhacement QQMA0001.
In the exit EXIT_SAPMIWO0_009
Pass those values to the req structure which needs to be populated.
example :
i_viqmel-dist = dist.
move-corresponding i_viqmel to e_viqmel.
--> Go to standard table where the values need to be updated(qmel) add one append structure with the req fields
Thanks,

Quality Notification checkered flag configuration

I am looking for the configuration for the checkered flag (completion flag) for completing the a quality notification. We are looking to gray out this flag to not allow completion while in QM01 transaction.
Thanks!

Are you able to complete notification @ QM01? If you go with standard configuration then it will not allow you. Have you changed it? then re-do your config change.
If you go with standard notification config and if you clikc on "put in process button - green flag" or "complete button - black flag" then system will throgh you error saying "save notification first so that a notification number can be assigned".
Without assigning notification number, which notification number system will put in complete status?
I hope this helps to understand system behaviour & expectation.

If Quality notification as follow up action fails

Dear all
I have a situation where Quality notification is configured as a Follow up action once the UD is made.
So I am getting Create notification screen once UD is filled and SAVE button is clicked.
In Case some wrong data is entered in the Create notification screen and I am coming out of Notification without saving the notification.
The status of the inspection lot is getting flipped to UDed as expected.
But is there any setting where i can define if the Followup action is not successful( Notification not created), then wont make the UD of Inspection lot also. (OR some user status will get updated saying Notif not created etc..)

Hi Navdeep,
Thanks to Anand for his correct feedback.
Please note that as per standard SAP, unless and otherwise there is a defect created, there can't be a 1:1 link with inspection lot with the notification, though in the notification header table there is a placeholder available (QMEL-PRUEFLOS) to capture this inspection lot field. You are trying to use a follow-up action wherein, after UD you are always creating a notification based on business case. I believe, the FM you are using in follow-up action, is not presently populating QMEL-PRUEFLOS. So there can't be a link to find out when there is failures in notification creation, but UD happening successfully.
You can try out the below approach -
Approach - 1
During the UD save process, there should be additional checks happening. Ask the follow-up FM to update QMEL-PRUEFLOS or TEXT field with inspection lot for all successful notification creation and UD update, and send a confirmation email to approver or task processing partners, or the UD processing user ID (This email part can be skipped in case if this is not required). In case of any failures in notification creation at save, it should truncate the UD save process too and send a message to UD processing user for this failure.
Approach - 2
You can create a batch job running at the background to validate for which inspection lot there is no notification created, even though UD is done. Send a mail to the UD processing user to create a notification, as that is not created. User can then create it manually it by updating TEXT field in notification in foreground.

Existing Quality Notification takes long time to open for certain vendors

Hello Gurus,
I have users complaining about the wait time( 2 t0 5 mintues) when opening of an Quality notification in QM03 for certain vendors. For soem vendors its fast and they always fast but for some it takes really long time and it always long.
I tried the sql trace but nothin out of ordinary compare to the ones both kind slow and fast.
Any help or idea would be really appreciated1

Dear Khan
I think you need refer this to SAP itself. This is more of some program error than your execution. Please check this note if it can help you

Email and sms alerts against Quality Notifications

I need to send an e-mail and an sms alert to various people within the organisation and to the respective vendor whenever I create a Quality notification. I also need to attach a copy of the print out of the notification in Smart form alongwith the mail. Please suggest.
Regards
Sudhir

Hi,
You can send the e-mail to all concerned via standard workflow or via using some exits at the time of saving of notification also.
Thanks

Automatic Creation of Quality Notification

Dear All,
In standard SAP whenever defects recording is done for an inspection lot and saved,automatically a quality notification is also created.In my business scenario they will record defects for almost all the inspection lots hence resulting in a huge number of unwanted quality notification which then later wont be processed at all.
Hence i wanted to know whether anything can be done to stop auto creation of notification.Is there anything which i could in IMG or any setting to avoid that???
Expecting your valuable comments
Regards
JR

Hi
i wanted to know whether anything can be done to stop auto creation of notification.Is there anything which i could in IMG or any setting to avoid that???
1.This is very much possible through SPRO setting.
QCC0>Quality planning>catalogs>select defect calss->
like for Minor defect-->remove Raido button & make it No active function
Just a suggetion ...what you can do for all Critical & major type of defect keep "Active Notification"
for Minor type of defects keep "No Act fuction"
this will reduce unnecessory notification.
2.If you permanently want to remove all notification after defect recording then
Go to Inspection type setting in SPRO & remove notification against inspection type.
QCC0>Qul insp>Insp lot creation-->maintain inspec type.

Polish letters not displayed correctly in quality notification long text

Hello,
in quality notification: when trying to write text in Polish language, some non-english letters are displayed incorectly.
I did not find possibility to change the text language as in e.g. sales order texts. Using PL as login language solves the situation if MS Word view of long text is opened but not if text displayed in notification in "SAP view". Anyway different login language is not desired solution.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Br Jan

Is there any possibility of upgrading?
2.5.2 is over 5 years old now and there are many improvements and bug fixes for language support in newer versions.

Quality notification - more reference objects

Hello,
business need is to have quality notification with possibility to refer either production order or purchase order under one notification type.
By standard this seems not possible as:
Complaint Against Vendor references to Purchase order
Internal Problem Report references to Production order.
But in section "User-specific notification" is mentioned
A user-specific notification type has the same basic structure as the standard, predefined notification types. The screen layouts, reference objects, and tab indexes, however, may differ from those in the predefined notification types, depending on how you customize the user-specific notification type.
But I have not found a way in customizing to enable this.
Advice appreciated.
Br, Jan

Thanks for the asnwer, but I think this does not solve my problem.
In the configuaration for "Notification Header and Screen Areas" I do have
- notification header screen H500
- customized screen O550 (BADI)
and both are needed.
The BADI is used to customize refernce object screen, not reference documents screen. But my idea was to change reference document screen area in a way, that both purhcasing and production reference documents are visible in there.
I only managed to get the vendor screen by adding screen area 037 to "Extended View: Tabstrips and Screen Areas" But adding purhcase document as reference to Reference documents remains my problem.
I am kind of able to make the vendor screen visible by e.g. adding screen area 037 Partner overview screen (table control).But creating a new pop-up window for notification reference, where both options (pur ord, prod ord) would be available with copying functionality - in my opinion this requiers completely custom coding.
