You can enrich the purchasing process with additional quality management related documents. Play the following video to learn more.
The Quality Planner sets up the certificate requirement via a respective control key in the material master. This will be discussed in more detail in the next chapter.
Technically, each document corresponds to a document type which is defined in the document management system of the SAP S/4HANA system. For each document, the Quality Planner creates a document info record in the document management system which can consist of a short text and a long text where you maintain quality-related information. If required, they can also store the original file in the document info record. Furthermore, they can use status values to implement version control. In the SAP standard customizing, quality assurance agreements are implemented as document type Q01 and technical delivery terms are implemented as document type Q02, respectively.
Note
You could, for example, print the short and long texts of the document info sets to the purchase order form in order to provide additional information to your supplier. If the supplier must provide a quality certificate, the respective certificate requirement defined in the material master could also be printed on the purchase order form.
