3 Organizational structure and process description

3.1
SAP Quality Management (QM)
3.1.1 Integration
The QM application uses the integration of SAP to connect QM functions with other SAP components
like material management, production, sales and controlling.
3.1.2 Functions
The QM application supports tasks in quality planning, quality inspection and quality control.
Furthermore, it creates quality certificates and supports the problem management using quality
notifications.
The following components are part of QM:
Master data (e.g. material master, catalogs, inspection characteristics, inspection methods,
dynamic modification rules, sample procedures)

SAP Organizational levels
Automotive Systems
Organizational levels are hierarchy levels for storing SAP data.
CAS (Continental Automotive Systems) distinguishes between central and local systems. Both
systems use their own organizational levels.
3.2.1
Client, company code
The client is the highest hierarchy level. According to SAP a client is a self-contained unit in an R/3
System (e.g. a corporate group) regarding commercial, organizational, and technical terms. Every
client has its own data such as master data and transaction data, user master data and chart of
account.
The company code is the smallest organizational unit for which a complete self-contained set of
accounts can be drawn up on purpose of external reporting. On company code level all supporting
documents for financial statements such as balance sheets and profit and loss statements are
created.
Company codes are implemented using the customizing of financial accounting. For Continental
Teves Europe each country has its own company code.

3.2.2
Purchasing organization
Automotive Systems
A purchasing organisation is an organizational unit responsible for procuring materials or services

for one or more plants and for negotiating general conditions of purchase with vendors.
A purchasing organization can be assigned to one or more plants and a plant can be procured by one
or more purchasing organizations.
In the central system (CSE) the reference purchasing organizations are not assigned to plants. In the
local systems the purchasing organizations are assigned to plants.
3.2.3
Plant
To control stock it is necessary to implement places in the system, where stock is kept. This is done
by plants and storage locations.
A plant is an organizational unit within a company (company code), which produces materials or
provides goods and services. It represents the organizational level for planning and inventory
management and can consist of several storage locations. The plant is the main organizational level
in material management.
4 Master data
4.1
4.1.1
Quality planning
Catalog
A catalog allows an exact definition of inspection results, observations, tasks or decisions, since
perceptions, not rated by numbers, are usually rated differently by different persons. In catalogs these
information is standardized by unique keys and their description. For standardization within a client or
plant you need codes for rating and evaluation. A catalog contains unique, non-numerical data on
plant or client level.
Catalog type
Catalogs used at Continental Teves are valid worldwide. The maintenance of these catalogs is done
by the departments central quality and after-sales service.
Missing or new entries have to be applied for via the central quality department.
The corresponding form can be accessed in the system D10 client 450 via Office Workplace
Shared folders RELEASE UPG MODULES QM-QUALITY 00 GENERAL Request for
addition/change of SAP catalogs.
The hierarchy structure of a catalog may be as follows:

Release 31.09.2003
Page 2
Glossar
Automotive Systems
In catalogs code groups and selected sets are on the same level. The difference between them is that
code groups are maintained on client level and selected sets are defined on plant level.
Automotive Systems
Code groups contain codes. Codes, that are assigned to a code group are also known as
group codes.
Selected sets combine any codes, even from different code groups.
In catalogs the lowest level of information are codes, which are included in code groups and
selected sets.
Code groups and selected sets of a catalog are used to create and collect codes, like e.g. the coded
descriptions of usage decisions, causes or defect types.
SAP standard uses the following catalog types:
The catalog types used by Continental-TEVES in quality management are:
Characteristic attributes (1)

Tasks (2)
Usage decisions (3)
Causes (5)
Defect types (9)
Complaint (D)
Defect locations (E)

4.1.2.6 Selected sets
Automotive Systems
A code group (client level) can have many different entries. A number of 100 codes may be possible.
To reduce the number or to structure these codes, selected sets may be build from these code
groups. The codes can be chosen from different code groups of a catalog. Selected sets are
maintained on plant level.
Especially for catalog types 1 (characteristic attributes) and 3 (usage decision) codes of code groups
should be grouped using different aspects. Additionally the valuations Accept or Reject are
allocated to every code of a selected set. Depending on the inspection (incoming inspection,
production inspection) the selected sets possess only those codes, that fit the inspection type.
The selected sets of catalog E (defect locations) are created by products.
The selected sets of a catalog type can be created or changed using the following menu path:

Sample management
Automotive Systems
If sampling procedures and optional dynamic modification rules are in use, the system is able to
adjust the inspection scope to the quality level. This procedure is not used at Continental Teves.
4.1.3.1 Sampling procedures

Sampling procedures determine the inspection scope and valuation mode for recording results
(qualitative characteristics, tolerances, characteristic attributes, etc.). A sampling procedure is
allocated to an inspection characteristic of an inspection plan if this is set accordingly in the control
indicator of the characteristic.
The advantage in using sampling procedures is that inspection characteristics are not valuated
manually (accept/reject) but can be valuated automatically based upon the procedure.
The maintenance of sampling procedures is done on a comprehensive level in all plants.

Master inspection characteristics
Automotive Systems
Inspection characteristics describe what should be checked. They define inspection requests for
materials or products. To make inspection planning more comfortable, inspection characteristics can
be created as master data called master inspection characteristics. As an advantage inspection
characteristics do not have to be created for each inspection plan. Master inspection characteristics
can be referenced or copied to inspection plans.
Another advantage for maintaining inspection characteristics is, that where-used lists are created and
master inspection characteristics can be replaced using a mass change (if they have been
referenced).
The following chapters describe, how master inspection characteristics are created, changed,
displayed or deleted.

Defects recording:
If this flag is set, a defects recording is carried out when rejecting the characteristic. Prerequisite for
an automatic defect recording is, that a defect code (from catalog 9 = defect types) is entered in the
inspection plan. If no defect code is entered, a warning message will appear at saving the inspection
plan.
Required characteristic:
Results have to be recorded for this characteristic before a usage decision can be carried out.
Optional characteristic:
Results do not have to be recorded for this characteristic before a usage decision can be carried out.
After acceptance:
This flag is used for conditional characteristics. This characteristic will be inspected only if the
previous required characteristic of the same operation has been valuated A (acceptance). The flag
is used e.g. for expensive inspections, these are carried out only when the former characteristic has
been accepted.
After rejection:
previous required characteristic of the same operation has been valuated R (rejection).
E.g.: If a visual inspection detects a burr, the characteristic has to be rejected. A conditional

Release date Up to this date you are allowed to purchase material from the vendor in the
defined plant. If there is no time restriction, enter 31.12.9999.
If the release date has expired, purchase orders cannot be created anymore. Scheduling
agreements can still be created! Only a warning message will appear. A manual delivery schedule
cannot be created for the scheduling agreement! If the delivery schedule is created automatically
by the MRP run, this date is not taken into account and the delivery schedule will be created.
Release quantity For a purchase order the system checks if the purchase order quantity
exceeds the released quantity (purchase order quantities from different purchase orders will be
accumulated). A purchase order can be created only if the released quantity is not exceeded. If
the released quantity is blank and the released quantity is activated, no purchase order can be
processed. It is allowed to create scheduling agreements! A manual delivery schedule cannot be
created for the scheduling agreement! If the delivery schedule is created automatically by the
MRP run, this data field is not taken into account and the delivery schedule will be created.
Block The vendor is blocked because of quality reasons. This block is valid for a certain plant.
The quality level for this material/vendor combination is set to permanent inspection. Furthermore,
the responsible MRP controller (MRP 1 view of the material master record) is informed via an
express mail (see below). Permanent inspection is valid for the corresponding plant.
Blocking function and blocking reason will be printed on the sample drawing instruction. Use
blocking reasons starting with 9X only.
If a vendor should be blocked completely, block him via the vendor master data.

purchasing functions like e.g. creating an inquiry or purchase order the system checks if the QM
system of the vendor meets the required QM system entered in the material master record. If the
requirement is not met, the purchase order cannot be created (customizing). This data field is not
used because the system uses the QM system of the material master record.
Inspection control The inspection control decides whether an inspection lot is created or not.
Following options are available:
"Inspection active if vendor is not certified" - An inspection lot is created if the material master
record demands it and no other function forbids it.
"No inspection" No inspection lot is created even if the material master record demands
one.
"Inspection active independent of vendor certification" An inspection lot will be created even
if a skip should be used according to the QM system of the vendor. This is the usual entry at
Continental-Teves.
Vendor source inspection Defines the inspection type for the source inspection at the vendor. If
the source inspection is done at the vendor, additionally, set the flag Source insp. no GR. This
avoids that an additional inspectional lot is created when posting the goods receipt. (Not used at
Continental Teves because inspection lots are not created and therefore no SRS data exists.)
Certification control Controlling the certificate receipt. It defines what kind of certificates are
necessary.
The status profile is used to control the material/vendor relationship, i.e. it contains the valid status
of the material/vendor relationship. An inspection type is allocated to each status.

next incoming inspection and the task list for
series will be allocated. According to the
inspection type 0102 a skip is not possible and
the usage decision has to be made manually (no

If the usage decision for the inspection lot of
the samples has been made and the result is
OK (samples are accepted), the status profile
will change from voab to seri. The next
incoming inspection will use inspection type 01
(incoming inspection) and the task list for
series will still be used. If inspection lots with inspection type 0102 still exist, the usage
decision has to be made manually, because an automatic usage decision with the according

Inspection planning
Automotive Systems
The inspection plan defines the inspection operations and the inspection characteristics going to be
inspected. The inspection plan that is included in the QM module is related to routings and rate
routings of Production Planning (PP) and to master recipes of Process Industry (PP-PI). These task
list types differ only slightly. For inspections in production additional inspection plans do not have to
be maintained. Inspection characteristics can be defined in routings, rate routings or master recipes.
At Continental Teves separate routings or inspection routings are used with a group counter 50.
You can create inspection plans for different usages, e.g. inspection plans for incoming inspections or
inspections in production. The correct selection will be done via the inspection plan usage.
An inspection plan can be created:
copying a reference operation set
copying an existing inspection plan
referencing to a reference operation set
manually
4.2.1
Task list types
4.2.1.1 Reference operation set

Reference operation sets are task list types that cannot be used directly for inspection planning or
production planning. Usually they are not related to a material (even if it is possible) and carry an
independent identification number and description. The reference operation set contains operation
and characteristic sequences often used. The reference operation plan can be referenced to
inspection plans on operation level, i.e. the inspection plan and reference operation set are linked.
Every change of the reference operation set results in a change of the linked inspection plans. All
inspection plans containing such a reference can be listed using a system report. The report includes
next to the list itself several maintenance functions. Reference operation set can be used for copying
instead of referencing, too.
The number allocation is done manually.

4.2.1.2 Inspection plan

The task list type inspection plan is used in the QM module to process quality inspections in
procurement and production. Typical inspection types are the inspection of goods receipts or goods
issues. Inspection plans contain all functions of reference operation sets. Because of this the manual
deals only with the inspection plan itself.

method, sampling procedure and dynamic modification rule. Depending on the type of characteristic
qualitative or quantitative requirements for checks and result recording can be determined. When
allocating the task list to material (mandatory), vendor (optional) or customer (optional) additional
default values can be maintained. This means that there is no need for you as an inspection planner
to create redundant inspection plans if you have to modify vendor-specific or customer-specific target
values.

When recording single values, the following types of results are supported:
Number of defects
For an attributive single value recording based on the number of defects, enter in the column
valuation of the Single Values screen area the valuation (accepted/rejected). If it is rejected you may
be asked for a defect class. The system updates the values in the fields Inspected, No. of defects and
Nonconforming.
Measured values
Enter the measured values for the unit to be inspected. The system valuates the measured values.
Those that lie within the tolerance range defined by the upper/lower limit (section: specs) are valued
A (accepted) in the Val column. Measured values that lie outside the tolerance range are rejected. If
a measured value is rejected (R), the system enters the defect class of the code predefined in the
task list in the Defects Class column.
After a measured value is entered, the system updates the data in the fields Inspected,
Nonconforming, No.above, No.below and x-bar.
If no confirmation of measured values has been planned for an inspection characteristic with a singlesided or double-sided tolerance range, you only confirm the valuation (OK / not OK) for each single
unit. After the valuation is entered, the system updates the values in the fields Inspected and

Making usage decisions
Automotive Systems
The usage decision, short form UD, is the final step within an inspection using inspection lots.
Depending on the inspection type and the settings of the material master record an inventory posting
from quality stock may be necessary.
Generally the following procedures can be distinguished when making a usage decision by a
necessary inventory posting:
Entering the UD and transferring the quality stock (detailed description in chapter 4.1.3.2)
Transfer from quality stock only

This may be necessary if the material is needed before a UD is made, e.g. because of a
production shortage.
If the UD is taken, no results can be changed or recorded anymore for the inspection lot, except for
long term characteristics. Furthermore, defect recordings or changes of defect recordings are not
possible. Only the defective quantity can be changed.
To mark an inspection lot respectively, which means that the UD can be made, all required
characteristics of the inspection lot have to be closed.
Usually it is possible to make a UD without closing all required characteristics (see Skipping required
characteristics 4.1.2.5).

Quality notification
Automotive Systems
Complaints are processed in SAP using quality notifications. The different kinds of quality notifications
have basically the same structure and provide the same functions. Some of the data on the different
screens may differ according to the different quality notification types.
5.2.1
Structure of quality notifications
The SAP quality notification is includes the header and item data (defect items).
To each notification a material number is allocated. Defect items are used to control several defects of
a material. The defect itself is described by defect type, defect location and a cause (customer
complaint only). Apart from defect descriptions also control measures can be governed by the quality
notification. Responsible persons and planned dates can be allocated to these measures to supervise
them. Measures can be allocated to the header of the notification (usually immediate measures) or to
defect items (corrective or preventive measures).
5.2.2
Quality notification types
Quality-related problems can occur in different business, organization or production areas and can be
of different kinds. To detect the different causes of these problems, the system distinguishes between
different quality notification types. This chapter deals with vendor-related notifications only.
Depending on the application area (goods receipt, production, customer complaints) different
notification types are used:
Q2 for notification of vendor-related problems
('notification of defects') in the goods receipt
Q3 for notification of problems in production
('Internal problem notification)
('notification of defects') in production
('notification of defects) based upon customer complaints
