Full reference for SAP Quality Management (QM) transaction codes covering inspection planning, inspection lots, results recording, usage decisions, quality notifications, and certificates of analysis.
| T-Code | Transaction Name | Description & Usage Scenario | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| QA01 | Create Inspection Lot Manually | Create an inspection lot to initiate a quality inspection for a material. Used when an inspection is required outside of automatic triggers (e.g., incoming goods, production). | |
| QA02 | Change Inspection Lot | Modify inspection lot data: sample size, inspection end date, or inspection characteristics. Used to adjust sample plan when physical sample size differs from the system-calculated quantity. | |
| QA03 | Display Inspection Lot | View inspection lot details, assigned characteristics, and current status. Used to check inspection status and review results before recording usage decision. | |
| QA32 | Inspection Lot Selection (Change) | Process multiple inspection lots from a list: record results and make usage decisions simultaneously. Core daily QM transaction. Used by QC inspectors to process the inspection workload efficiently. | ★ Common |
| QA33 | Inspection Lot Selection (Display) | Display a list of inspection lots filtered by material, plant, date, or status for monitoring. Used by quality managers for inspection backlog monitoring and lab workload planning. | ▲ Report |
| T-Code | Transaction Name | Description & Usage Scenario | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| QE01 | Results Recording (Characteristic Level) | Record inspection results for individual quantitative or qualitative characteristics on an inspection lot. Used by QC lab technicians to enter test measurements and attribute results against specifications. | ★ Common |
| QE11 | Results Recording (List View) | Record results for multiple characteristics across multiple inspection points in a list format. Used for high-volume inspections where many characteristics must be recorded efficiently. | ★ Common |
| QE51N | Results Recording (Worklist) | Process results recording for multiple inspection lots from a worklist. Used by lab supervisors to distribute inspection work and track completion of results recording. | |
| QA11 | Record Usage Decision | Make the final accept/reject decision on an inspection lot after reviewing inspection results. Critical transaction: accept decision releases stock to unrestricted use; reject triggers return or rework. | ★ Common |
| QA12 | Change Usage Decision | Modify a usage decision that was previously recorded, e.g., to change stock posting after re-evaluation. Used when initial decision is overridden after management review or additional testing. |
| T-Code | Transaction Name | Description & Usage Scenario | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| QM01 | Create Quality Notification | Create a quality notification to formally document a defect, customer complaint, or improvement need. Used for all quality incidents: supplier defects, production rejects, customer returns, audit findings. | ★ Common |
| QM02 | Change Quality Notification | Update notification with root cause analysis, corrective actions, responsible parties, and completion dates. Used throughout the CAPA process to document investigation findings and track action closure. | ★ Common |
| QM03 | Display Quality Notification | View quality notification without modification for reference and reporting. Used by quality auditors, managers, and external reviewers to access quality records. | |
| QM13 | Quality Notifications List | Display a list of quality notifications filtered by status, material, vendor, or date range. Used by quality managers for CAPA tracking, trend analysis, and open notification management. | ▲ Report |
| T-Code | Transaction Name | Description & Usage Scenario | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| QS21 | Create Master Inspection Characteristic | Create reusable inspection characteristic definitions with specification limits and methods. Used to build the quality inspection catalog. Characteristics are referenced in inspection plans. | ◉ Master Data |
| QS51 | Create Inspection Method | Create and maintain inspection methods describing how a characteristic is to be measured or assessed. Used to document measurement procedures for reference during inspection execution. | ◉ Master Data |
| QP01 | Create Inspection Plan | Create an inspection plan for a material defining what characteristics to inspect and with what methods. Used for new materials requiring quality inspection during GR, production, or final inspection. | ◉ Master Data |
| QP02 | Change Inspection Plan | Modify an existing inspection plan: add characteristics, update tolerances, or change sample procedures. Used when quality standards change, new regulatory requirements are introduced, or process improvements. | |
| QI07 | Release Material for Vendor | Assign or release a vendor for a purchased material after quality evaluation. Used in quality info record management to define which vendors are approved to supply a material. | |
| MCX1 | Inspection Lot Results Analysis | Statistical analysis of inspection results for process capability and trend monitoring. Used by quality engineers for SPC (Statistical Process Control) and supplier quality analysis. | ▲ Report |
