SAP PP QM Integration connects Production Planning with Quality Management to enforce rigorous quality standards throughout manufacturing. It enables automatic inspection lot creation during production order release, in-process quality checks at operation levels, defect recording, and final Usage Decision (UD) clearance before moving goods to finished stock.
Key characteristics and aspects of SAP PP QM Integration include:
-
In-Process Inspection Lot (Inspection Type 03):
- Automatically triggering inspection lots upon production order release or milestone completion.
