Vendor Approval by QA

Hi gurus,
I want to control vendor approval through QA department. Please advice how can I map the same in QA module.
Thanks
Sachin

Hi,
You can activate the vendor approval by QA at material level. That means, you will have to maintain the 'QM in Procurement active' tick for the required material at the required plant & then maintain the Delivery Release contriol key.
Then you can maintain the Quality Info Record through transaction QI01 for the required material / vendor / plant combination with the approved date / quantity & other details. If required you can block the vendore also.

Vendor approval for outside operation

Hi,
I am trying to define a process for vendor approval for an external operation. We have service operations on our production orders and we are not using the 04 but only the 03 inspection type. Since the service operation is for account assignment F (production order) and does not have a material as a line item, how do I prevent the 101 goods receipt for the production order in case of an unapproved vendor was sent the service operation. Usually businesses do this as they have a vendor who is approved for other processes and hence the assumption is that he will eventually be approved and is good enough for an additional process. So they purchase at risk. If we had a 04 inspection type I could have given a one time skip MIC for the vendor approval and controlled it there. But since we dont have 04 inspeciton type how do I control this.
I am pretty sure this is a common scenario and someone on this forum might have had implemented this.
Thanks

Hello,
You can use scheduling agreement for your vendor approval process. For approved vendor you can set your rules and grouped all approved vendors in scheduling agreement. based on that system will take only those vendors from that grp and depend upon terms and contracts w.r.t scheduling line system will allow for PO.
I am not a MM consultant but yes you can take this as refference and ask MM consultant how to execute the same in your case.
Secondly for vendor approval you have any process like testing of its product or service or any document verification etc. ?
if it is there then just maintain the Q- Info and put quality controls over vendor master. w/o quality approval system won't allow to use the unapproved vendor.

Vendor Approval Workflow error

Hi,
I tried (unsuccessfully so far) to turn on the standard workflow for Vendor approval (conveniently called: VendorApproval)
However when I try to change a vendor (thus triggering the workflow) I receive the following message:

Thanks in advance for reading!

After some more trial and error, the error was caused by a user. After the user was removed from the list (user list was based on a query using a specific role), the workflow worked correctly.

Hi Surya,
Whenevr you do "SHOP", under source of supply system will propose preferred vendor based on the list which we maintained on product level or product category level....if we not maintained these lists then system will propose you the last vendor of shopping cart.....

How can I manage a vendor approval process in SAP?

Please guide With regards to vendor approval Process & also share if u have case study

HI
Use me61 transaction code.
If you are talking about the approval of vendor such as prototype sample, ppap sample and regular supply, and if this is your flow, then, by activating the profile in the quality info record for each material / vendor combination, the functionality can be made use of. Check whether this meets your requirement.

Workflow WS14000030 for vendor approval from OPI

Hi,
 The task TS14007942(approve creation of vendor) is included in the workflow WS14000030(Vendor One-Step Approval). Also included the agent assignment (Rule 00000157 for Manager).
It is given in help.sap.com as below ..
A vendor that has been transferred to the EBP System via OPI provisionally receives the status locked (all documents containing this vendor temporarily lose their validity). The system now checks the authorization of the purchaser / requester relating to transaction BBPMAININT:
· If the purchaser / requester possesses the change authorization, the 0-step approval workflow WS14000043 starts and the vendor is released immediately.
Depending on the Customizing settings, a workflow notification follows.
· If the purchaser / requester does not possess the change authorization, the 1-step approval workflow WS14000030 starts and the manager of the purchasers purchasing organization receives a work item with a request to approve or reject it.
When I checked the same,
 The Transaction 'BBPMAININT' is under the package 'BBP_BUPA'. There is only one authorization object under this package by name 'BBP_BUYER'.
 The documentation says "The object consists only of the field Activity.The activity has only one variant, 70 for 'Administration'; in other words: an 'All or nothing' as far as the data of the purchasing company is concerned".
can anyone help me in running the workflow??? How can I restrict the authorization for the transaction BBPMAININT.
Thanx,
Sivagami.R

Hi
Please try this ->
You have to assign authorization for changing shopping carts during the approval process. This is controlled by means of a role-based attribute BBP_WFL_SECURITY, and is set in the transaction PFCG on the Personalization tab page. There are four possible levels of authorization:
1) High: Workflow is never restarted.
2) Medium: Workflow is restarted based on start conditions.
3) Low: Workflow is always started.
4) No: No changes to the shopping cart allowed during approval.

Vendor Approval Process

Dear Experts,
I have a requriement from our company, that when opening vendor code, we want multiple release prococedure, means first sourcing team approve the vendor in system , then QA Team approve the vendor, then Supply chain team approve the vendor in the sytem, then finally the vendor should be approved by CEO. Then vendor is treated as active in sap.
How to achieve this, I have not seen such release procdeure for vendor, please suggest me some workaround, if there is no direct procedure.
My requirement is urgent.
Regards
Ishu

Hi,
This is something not in standard SAP. The approval process of the vendor should be done internally by the management and not supported in SAP. There is only a transaction to create vendors either XK01, MK01 or FK01 all of which are single transactions. The person who creates vendor in your company can be restricted to use the tcode unless the internal approval process done by the management to create the vendor.
Other way is you can think of blocking the vendor which you donot want to use in the procurement activities, this will restrict unwanted vendors entering into the system even by accident.

Shiva

Vendor Approval & Selection

hi
pl tell mehowto configure below given requriment
The QM component monitors the release of supply relationships in stages. You can define certain statuses such as model series, preliminary series, and production series through which the deliveries of a material from a certain vendor must pass in sequence. The system then generates inspection lots with an inspection type that matches the next status of the supply relationship and it updates the statuses automatically on the basis of the usage decision. When the last status is reached, the system uses the inspection type 01 for all further goods receipts

Need some graphics card advice for using 3D and Adobe

Below are the specs for the workstation I just bought. I'm planning on upgrading the graphics card to a GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB. The chassis is pretty small, and I'm concerned that it might get too hot. Does anyone have any advice as to whether this machine can handle this card, and whether or not I should by extra fans, or a water cooling system for the card? Thanks in advance!

Email and fax support M-F from 9am-6pm EST

Here are the major failings of that "workstation":
1) The power supply is much too weak to handle an upgrade to a GTX 570. Heck, that PSU might not have been capable of actually handling even its claimed 350W - but more like 200W. As such, it's barely capable of handling even that "workstation"'s base configuration with integrated Intel HD 2000 graphics. You will definitely need a new power supply (at least 550W, but preferably 750W to 850W) right away before you can even upgrade the graphics card at all.
2) That PC has only one hard disk. Adobe requires a minimum of at least one additional hard disk (preferably two or more additional disks) in order to run Premiere Pro acceptably well.
3) Change out the H67 motherboard for a Z68 motherboard. H67 cannot overclock the "limited-overclockable" i7-2600 CPU at all. And even with a Z68 motherboard, the fastest that you can run that non-K i7-2600 would be 3.9GHz.
4) As you stated, that small case will not be enough. You will need a much bigger case to handle the load from Premiere Pro plus all of the hardware upgrades that I'm suggesting.
Also, keep in mind that the company only offers "lifetime" technical support if you don't tinker with the PC's innards at all - not even a minor hardware upgrade or only for a vendor-approved hardware upgrade such as RAM. Once you open that case for a non-vendor-approved hardware upgrade (e.g. an upgraded power supply, an upgraded GPU or upgraded cooling), you will no longer have technical support from that company that you're getting the PC from.
As currently equipped, that system will run about 25 to 30 times slower than a fast PC. Look at payal's 622-second result running 5.0.3 on the PPBM5 results list, with the same CPU, chipset and integrated graphics as your system: It is already more than 12 times slower (in terms of the Relative Performance Index) than a fast system - and that system is already running two disks. With only one disk for absolutely everything - the OS, media, projects, previews, cache and exports - it would be much slower than even that because SATA is only a half-duplex interface, not a full-duplex interface. As a half-duplex interface, SATA can only deliver data transfers in one direction at a time. However, video editing programs like PPro require simultaneous reads and writes. This means that the single disk must wait for data transfers in a given direction to be completed before any data starts transferring in the opposite direction.

Availibility check in 3rd Party sales..

Hi !! Gurus,
How availibility check is done in 3rd party sales.
As material is going from vendor to the customer directly. Whether we have to maintain some storage location saying vendors material ?
Regards,
Atul

Hi Atul,
There is no standard solution, But most of the clients follow these steps..
maintain vendor storage location or depository - This is similar to reqular storage location.
When vendor updates his stock on weekly basis update your stock in that storage location.
everything similar to regular storage location, but availability and other factors are not as accurate as clients own stock.
Some times clients even follow availability request form procedure too.. In which they will send a form/ just word document to reserve the stock at vendor location. SO will be on block for vendor approval...once they recieve approval from vendor, they will process document.
Let me know, if you have any questions/concerns
Regards
Gopal
