SAP Quality Management (QM) on S/4HANA is a fully integrated module that supports quality planning, quality inspection, and quality control throughout the supply chain and production processes. It ensures that products meet defined quality standards and compliance requirements across procurement, manufacturing, and sales. With S/4HANA, the QM module benefits from a simplified data model, real-time analytics, and integration with other modules like MM, PP, SD, and EWM, providing end-to-end visibility and control over quality processes. The course is designed to give learners a strong foundation in managing quality processes, performing inspections, handling notifications, and integrating quality with business processes in a modern digital ERP landscape.

1. Importance of QM Projects & Role of an SAP QM Consultant on S/4HANA
Why SAP QM Projects Matter
They ensure product quality across procurement, production, and delivery. QM processes are integrated into logistics flows to meet compliance and ISO standards SAP CommunitySAP Help Portal.QM Developer / Consultant Role
Define and configure core QM data: inspection plans, master inspection characteristics, code groups, catalogs, sampling, etc. SAP LearningSAP Training
Build integration points with MM, PP, SD, etc., ensuring seamless process flow across modules SAP CommunityERPGreat.
2. Types of SAP QM Projects & Consultant Role in Each
Project Type Consultant Role Greenfield Implementation Design QM processes, configure master data, inspection planning, notifications Brownfield Upgrade to S/4HANA Map QM custom logic to S/4 best practices, retrofit code groups, convert inspection plans Rollout Project Adapt global QM setup to local plants—local customizing, catalog translations Support / Maintenance Troubleshoot defect codes, notification flows, sampling, and inspection discrepancies 3. Naming & Coding Standards in QM Projects
Naming Conventions
Catalog Types: Numeric codes like ‘9’ for defect types SAP Learning
Use consistent code group and code naming with leading zeros to maintain alphanumeric sort order SAP Learning.
Coding Standards
Not technical code—standards apply to customizing: inspection plans named with prefixes for plant or process type, catalogs with clear contexts.
4. Key Project Documents in SAP QM Projects
Common documents used in SAP QM implementations:
Project Charter / Management Plan — Define scope, stakeholders, objectives, costs, risks Scribd.
Business Blueprint (FS / FDD) — Document “As-Is” and “To-Be” QM processes, inspection planning, notification workflows.
Technical Design Document (TDD) — Custom enhancements: custom catalogs, sample routines, interfaces.
Test Documents (UTP) — Unit test plans, test cases for inspection lots, notifications, integration with MM/PP.
Issue Log / Risk Log — Track defects, bugs, installation or configuration issues Scribd.
5. How to Prepare These Documents
Project Charter: Outline current quality pain points, propose QM on S/4 process improvements, milestones Scribd.
Blueprint (FS/FDD):
FS: Capture QM requirements—inspection types, sampling logic, code groups, notification flows.
FDD: Technical specs—for catalog creation, determination logic, integration points.
TDD: Detail each custom config or enhancement: e.g., code group setup via transaction QS41, sample determination rules, notification workflows.
UTP: Define test scenarios—goods receipt/inbound inspection, usage decisions, notification creation, dynamic inspection scope.
Issue Log: Record issues with categorization and next steps as per SAP Activate recommended approach Scribd.
6. Code Review Tools & Quality Checks
Quality Gates (QG)
Apply Quality Gate checks at the end of project phases (e.g., Blueprint, Realize, Deploy) to ensure deliverables meet expectations SAP Community.Code / Config Quality Tools
While ABAP-driven code tools like Code Inspector, ABAP Test Cockpit exist, in QM projects you’re more focused on configuration quality, catalog consistency, and ensuring compliance with business needs SAP Community.
7. From Basic to Advanced QM Objects—Concepts & Use Cases
Basic Data Concepts:
Material Master (QM view), inspection characteristics, code groups, catalogs, sampling procedure—foundation for QM flows SAP LearningSAP Training.Inspection Planning & Execution:
Inspection plans, reference operation sets, task lists, creating and processing inspection lots, recording results, making usage decisions SAP TrainingSAP Learning.Advanced Concepts & Notifications:
Setup of quality notifications, defect recording, corrective actions, catalogs usage in notifications (e.g., root cause, task codes) SAP TrainingSAP Learning+1.
8. Interfaces & Integration Technologies (Analogous to BAPIs, Exits)
While QM doesn’t rely heavily on ABAP enhancements, the integration layer includes:
Standard QM Integration: With MM for goods receipt inspections, PP for in-process defects, SD for delivery-based inspections SAP CommunityERPGreat.
Document Management: Quality certificates, documents in inspections, DMS/ ArchiveLink for doc control SAP CommunitySAP Help Portal.
Custom interfaces may use BAPIs or IDocs, but this is typically rare in pure QM implementations unless integrating with external quality systems.
9. Support Phase & Ticket Handling
Support Activities:
Troubleshoot record issues—missing code values, incorrect sample sizes, misrouted notifications, usage decision anomalies.Tickets / Tokens:
Use SAP Solution Manager or Cloud ALM for issue tracking, logging tickets, assigning, tracking, and resolving issues per SAP Activate guidelines Scribd.
