  • EH&S-QM Interface

    Purpose

    Specification management in Basic Data and Tools allows you to manage in the SAP system all

    types of data on specifications, such as physical-chemical properties, toxicological data, and

    compositions.

    Specifications can also be components of a product. In the SAP system products are stored as

    materials. So, if materials to which specifications are assigned are to be inspected in Quality

    Management, the inspection plans must also contain the relevant specification data.

    Using the EH&S-QM interface, you can create inspection plans from the data that already exists

    in specification management. This means you do not have to enter redundant data and the

    specification data is consistent in all inspection plans.

    The inspection plans are created in Basic Data and Tools. You can then open the inspection plans

    in the SAP Quality Management component and adapt them to your requirements.

    Implementation Considerations

    See Basic Settings.

    Integration

    For the EH&S-QM interface you will need to have the following SAP components installed:

    Basic Data and Tools

    Quality Management

    Materials Management

  • Interface Functionality

    Creating Inspection Plans

    The EH&S-QM interface creates inspection plans from specification data that is stored in specification

    management. When it creates these specification-relevant inspection plans, the system creates the

    inspection plan header, operations, material assignments, and inspection characteristics. The

    prerequisite for this is that all necessary basic settings have been made.

    Inspection plans are created in the background.

    See also:

    Which Data Is Transferred to the Inspection Plan?

    Creating Inspection Characteristics

    The inspection characteristics are created by the interface from the data relevant for inspection plans

    that is entered in specification management under value assignment. You must specify the relevant data

    in a mapping table. The system can create inspection characteristics with or without a reference to

    master inspection characteristics that already exist in the system. If they are created without a reference

    to master inspection characteristics, the related advantages such as multiple language capability are

    lost.

    Converting Phrases to Codes

    Quantitative and qualitative variants of a specification, methods, and other information can be stored

    under a value assignment type. As phrases are used in specification management to store texts (such as

    qualitative variants) and codes are used in Quality Management, the interface converts phrases to codes

    and phrase groups to code groups when an inspection plan is created.

  • Mapping Table

    Definition

    Mapping tables allow you to specify and assign specification data relevant for inspection plans so that the system can derive the appropriate inspection characteristics from it when

    Creating Specification-Relevant Inspection Plans.

    Use

    You must store all data in this table that is relevant for creating inspection plans. To do this, you specify the required value assignment types and assign them the class characteristics whose content is to be transferred to an inspection plan. When it creates the inspection plan, the system then creates the relevant inspection characteristics that can be further processed in Quality Management (see

    Editing Data Relevant for Inspection Plans).

  • Processing of Characteristics

    In connection with the EH&S-QM interface, it is important that you distinguish between class

    characteristics in specification management and inspection characteristics in the SAP Quality

    Management (QM) component:

    Class characteristics

    Characteristic from the classification system that is entered in the value assignment type for a

    specification and determines the different properties of a specification.

    Values for these characteristics can either be numerical (for example, 1,3) or a text (for example,

    red). In specification management these texts, or qualitative characteristics, are identified in a

    value assignment type (for example, Color) by phrases (see Phrase Management).

    Inspection characteristics

    Characteristic on the basis of which a quality inspection is performed. As for the class

    characteristics there are two types of characteristics:

    Quantitative inspection characteristics

    Numerical characteristics (for example, 1,3)

    The system takes the contents of this type directly from specification management when it

    creates an inspection plan, without any conversion being necessary.

    Qualitative inspection characteristics

    Nonnumerical characteristics (for example, red)

    These texts are identified in Quality Management by codes as opposed to the phrases in

    specification management.

    From the contents of the class characteristics entered in a value assignment type, the EH&S-QM

    interface creates inspection characteristics in the inspection plans when it creates the inspection plans.

    Quality inspections can then be executed as usual in Quality Management using these inspection

    characteristics.

    See also: Which Data Is Transferred to the Inspection Plan?

    Converting Phrases to Codes

  • For qualitative values, the interface converts the phrases and phrase groups entered for the value

    assignment type into codes or code groups that can be used by Quality Management. These codes are

    stored in selected sets that are also created by the interface. This means the characteristic values of a

    value assignment type are grouped together in a selected set.

    When it creates an inspection plan, the system checks to see whether a code was already created from a

    specific phrase in the past:

    If it was, this code is used in future for the relevant phrase.

    If it was not, a new code is created for the relevant phrase and used in future.

    The codes that already exist in Quality Management are not used. The system creates its own new

    codes that are created once by the interface when inspection plans are created and always used in

    future for the same phrases (for information on setting up the respective number ranges, see Basic

    Settings).

    Qualitative inspection characteristics in Quality Management can have a positive or negative

    attribute. The class characteristics cover only positive attributes. For this reason, the interface

    transfers a not-OK code as standard to all selected sets it creates as negative attributes (see

    environment parameters under Basic Settings).

    Use of Master Inspection Characteristics

    You can use data from master inspection characteristics when you create inspection plans. Master

    inspection characteristics are inspection characteristics that are intended for frequent use in inspection

    plans or for evaluation across several inspection plans. They make inspection planning easier and more

    standardized.

    You have the following advantages if you use master inspection characteristics when you create

    specification-relevant inspection plans:

    Where-used list

    Multilingual capability

    Reference to batches

  • Processing of Methods

    In connection with the EH&S-QM interface, it is important that you distinguish between methods as

    class characteristics in specification management and inspection methods in the SAP Quality

    Management (QM) component:

    Method as a class characteristic

    Characteristic that was defined in the classification system as a method.

    Inspection method

    Describes the procedure for how a characteristic is to be inspected.

    From the method entered in a value assignment type, the EH&S-QM interface transfers an inspection

    method to the inspection plan when it creates the inspection plan. Quality inspections can then be

    executed as usual in Quality Management using this inspection method.

    Procedure

    You have two options for transferring inspection methods to an inspection plan:

    Specify a phrase as the value of the Method class characteristic for a value assignment type in

    specification management.

    As methods have to be stored as phrases, you must also assign an inspection method from

    Quality Management to the phrase in the header data in phrase management.

    The key for an inspection method is made up from the plant, description of the inspection

    method, and version. As the version valid at the time the plan is created is always used, you do

    not need to specify a version.

    Specify an inspection method directly from Quality Management as the value of the class

    characteristic Method for a value assignment type in specification management.

    This method is recognized and transferred automatically by the interface.

    To be able to access QM inspection methods directly as input help at this point, you must

    integrate the function module EHQM15_INSP_METHOD_CHECK. This function module must

    be specified in the classification system for each characteristic in which the inspection methods

    are to be entered. For more information on processing characteristics in the classification system,

    see Value Assignment Types and Characteristics Setup.

  • Which Data Is Transferred to the Inspection

    Plan?

    The EH&S-QM interface creates the following parts of an inspection plan:

    Inspection plan header

    Operations

    Material assignment

    Inspection characteristics

    In the following table, you can see the fields that are filled by the system in the inspection plan, provided

    you have specified the respective values (see Basic Settings and Editing Data Relevant for Inspection

    Plans).

    If a specification in a value assignment type that is relevant for inspection plan creation contains

    several value assignment instances with identical usages, the system does not transfer this data to

    the inspection plan.Wenn der Prfplan noch nicht vorhanden ist, legt ihn das System

    zwar an, er enthlt jedoch keine Prfmerkmale und Sie erhalten eine Fehlermeldung im

    Protokoll.If the inspection plan does not yet exist, the system creates it but it does not

    contain any inspection characteristics and an error message appears in the log.

    Inspection Plan Header

    Field Explanations

    Description Short text for material

    Plant Validity area for the usage of the value assignment instance

    Status This field is filled with the data that is provided by the profile from the

    environment parameter EHQMEP_PROFILE (Profile with default values) (see Basic

    Settings).

    Usage This field is filled with the data that is provided by the profile from the

    environment parameter EHQMEP_PROFILE (Profile with default values) (see Basic

    Settings).

    Old task list no. The old task list (plan) number is taken from the Specification field (SUBID).

    To lot size As the default, the maximum value is displayed.

    Task list unit of

    measure

    Is taken from the material

  • Operations

    Field Explanations

    Plant Validity area for the usage of the value assignment instance

    Description of

    operation

    This field is filled with the data that is provided by the environment parameter

    EHQMEP_ DESCROPR (Description of operation) (see Basic Settings).

    Control key This field is filled with the data that is provided by the environment parameter

    EHQMEP_CONTROLKEY (Control key for operation) (see Basic Settings).

    Base quantity This field is filled with the data that is provided by the profile from the

    environment parameter EHQMEP_PROFILE (Profile with default values) (see Basic

    Settings).

    Operation unit This field is filled with the data that is provided by the profile from the

    environment parameter EHQMEP_PROFILE (Profile with default values) (see Basic

    Settings).

    Material Assignment

    Field Explanations

    Material The material assigned to the specification

    Plant Validity area for the usage of the value assignment instance

    Customer You may have specified this field in the selection screen when you created the

    inspection plan.

    Vendor You may have specified this field in the selection screen when you created the

    inspection plan.

    Inspection Characteristics

    Field Explanations

    Valid from This field is filled with the key date you specified when you created the inspection

    plan.

    Change number This field is filled with the change number you may have specified when you

    created the inspection plan.

    Master inspection

    characteristic (with

    plant and version)

    If you specified a master inspection characteristic in the mapping table, the

    corresponding content is transferred.

    The version is always the version valid at the time the inspection plan was created.

    Short text for

    inspection

    characteristic

    The following different cases can be distinguished when transferring a short text:

    If an inspection characteristic is created with reference to a master

    inspection characteristic that already has a short text, this short text is

    transferred.

    If an inspection characteristic is created without reference to a master

    inspection characteristic, the description of the value assignment type is

  • transferred in the language specified in the environment parameter

    EHQMEP_LANGU (see Basic Settings).

    If a number of inspection characteristics are created from one value

    assignment type, the short text is made up of both the description of the

    value assignment type and the description of the characteristic value (20 of

    the 40 characters are available for each part of the short text).

    If a number of inspection characteristics are created from a composition,

    the short text of the master inspection characteristic is transferred if a

    reference to a master inspection characteristic exists. If no reference to a

    master inspection characteristic exists, an identifier from the specification is

    transferred as the short text. The identifier is determined by the system using

    the priorities specified in Customizing for Basic Data and Tools under Check

    Identification Listing for the identification listing D_VALPOS.

    If you also want the long text for phrases to be transferred as the long text for the

    inspection characteristic, you must implement the customer exit EHQM0903 Add

    Long Text Data to Inspection Characteristics.

    Inspection method

    (with plant and

    version)

    If you specified Inspection method as the type of characteristic during

    characteristic assignment in the mapping table, the corresponding content of the

    class characteristic is transferred.

    The version is always the version valid at the time the inspection plan was created.

    Unit of measure The unit of measure is transferred that is specified in the definition of the class

    characteristic.

    Decimal places You specify the number of decimal places in this field. The number of decimal

    places is not taken from the definition of the class characteristic, but derived from

    the entry for the characteristic in the value assignment type. If you specify several

    values with different numbers of decimal places, the greatest number of decimal

    places is always relevant for this field.

    Target value If you specified Target value as the type of characteristic during characteristic

    assignment in the mapping table, the corresponding content of the class

    characteristic is transferred.

    The system does not distinguish between less than and less than or equal to, or greater than and greater than or equal to when it converts the values from specification management, but always interprets the data as "less

    than or equal to" or "greater than or equal to."

    Upper limit If you specified Value range as the type of characteristic during characteristic

    assignment in the mapping table, this field is filled with the upper limit of the value

  • range (see Note under Target value).

    Lower spec. limit If you specified Value range as the type of characteristic during characteristic

    assignment in the mapping table, this field is filled with the lower limit of the value

    range (see Note under Target value).

    InfoField 3 If you specified Additional information as the type of characteristic during

    characteristic assignment in the mapping table, the corresponding content of the

    class characteristic is transferred.

    You can also fill other infofields using the customer exit EHQM0902 Add Data to

    Inspection Characteristics, for example.

    Selected set 1 with

    plant

    When phrases are converted to codes (see Processing of Characteristics) a selected

    set is created provided the codes are not available in any existing selected sets.

    This field is filled if you specified Attributive entry as the type of characteristic

    during characteristic assignment in the mapping table.

    If you want to transfer other contents to the fields, you must implement this using the available

    customer exits (see Customer Exits for the interface).

  • Basic Settings

    To be able to create inspection plans using data from specification management, the following

    prerequisites must be fulfilled:

    1. 1. Settings in Customizing for Basic Data and Tools

    Under Specify Environment Parameters specify the relevant values for the environment

    parameters.

    The following environment parameters exist for the EH&S-QM interface:

    EHQMEP_CONTROLKEY: Control key for operation

    EHQMEP_DESCROPR: Description for operation

    EHQMEP_LANGU: Language for description of inspection characteristics

    EHQMEP_NOTOKCODE: Not-OK code

    EHQMEP_PROFILE: Profile with default values

    Under Specify Validity Area Categories, make sure that the table name T001W and the field

    name WERKS are specified for the validity area category PLANT.

    Under Specify Validity Areas, create the required validity areas of the category PLANT.

    Under Specify Ratings, create the required ratings and set the relevancy indicator for creation

    of a QM inspection plan.

    2. 2. Other Settings

    Under Tools ABAP Workbench Development Other Tools Number

    Ranges(transaction SNRO), edit the number range intervals for creating codes, code groups, and

    selected sets.

    The following number range intervals exist:

    EHQMN_CODE (number range interval for codes)

    EHQMN_GRP (number range interval for code groups)

    EHQMN_SLST (number range interval for selected sets)

    We recommend that you use the customer exit EHQM0901 to generate your own keys that

    contain letters, for example, making them easier to recognize. You also have the option of using

  • the specified number range intervals as a counter for the objects in the customer exit. For more

    information, see the documentation on the customer exit.

    In Customizing for Basic Data and Tools under Specify Types of Characteristics you have the

    option of adding your own types of characteristics.

    In the mapping table specify the value assignment types with information relevant for

    inspection plans so the system can use this data to create the inspection characteristics. To do

    this, proceed as described under Editing Data Relevant for Inspection Plans.

    3. 3. Prerequisites in Basic Data and Tools

    You have created specifications and the relevant data according to your requirements in

    specification management.

    You have assigned corresponding materials to the specifications.

    Under Usage you have specified the appropriate rating and the validity area. Under Validity

    area enter values of the category PLANT to distinguish between validity areas for inspection

    plans and other validity areas. Set the usage to Active.

    In the phrase management header data you have assigned an inspection method to the

    relevant phrases so that the method can be recognized when inspection plans are created. You

    also have the option of specifying the inspection method directly from Quality Management in

    specification management (see Processing of Methods).

    4. 4. Prerequisites in Quality Management

    You have created the relevant master inspection characteristics if you want to use them.

    These master inspection characteristics must have the status Released.

    They should also be in the form of Incomplete copy model or Complete copy model as they are

    unlocked by the interface as Reference characteristics.

    You have created the relevant inspection methods. These inspection methods must have the

    status Released.

    5. 5. Prerequisites in Materials Management

    In the material master for the relevant materials you have created the Quality Management view

    for the plant for which the inspection plan is to be created.

    6. 6. Authorizations

    To create inspection plans you need authorization to be able to create inspection plans in

    Quality Management.

    To edit the required basic settings you need authorization to be able to edit the specification

    data in Basic Data and Tools.

  • Result

    When you have made all settings and fulfilled all the above prerequisites, you can create inspection

    plans using data from specification management (see Creation of Specification-Relevant Inspection

    Plans).

  • Editing Data Relevant for Inspection Plans

    Use

    In addition to editing the basic settings, you must make certain assignments so that the system can

    create the relevant data (for example, inspection characteristics) from the value assignment types that

    exist in specification management in the inspection plan. You make these assignments in the central

    object for the EH&S-QM interface, the mapping table.

    The class characteristics that you edit in specification management are used to create inspection

    characteristics.

    There are two possible scenarios:

    You want to create an inspection characteristic from a value assignment type.

    You want to create a number of inspection characteristics from a value assignment type (for example, in the case of compositions).

    Prerequisites

    You have edited the basic settings.

    Procedure

    7. 1. Call the transaction CGQM.

    A table appears where you edit the data relevant for inspection plans (mapping table).

    8. 2. Enter the value assignment types relevant for inspection plans in the Val. asst type column.

    9. 3. Select a value assignment type and choose Characteristic assignment.

    The dialog box appears where you can assign characteristics.

    10. 4. Enter the class characteristics whose content you want to transfer to the inspection plan.

    11. 5. In the CTyp column, specify how the content of the characteristic is to be formatted in the

    inspection plan (for example, whether it is a value range or a method). Depending on the

    characteristic type it is processed differently (see Processing of Characteristics).

    The MstrCharac and Plant columns are only significant if the additional parameter

    characteristics function is available. This function is not included in the standard system.

  • Therefore, characteristics of the type Condition also cannot be transferred to inspection plans in

    the standard system.

    12. 6. Confirm your entries.

    The table for editing the data relevant for inspection plans appears again.

    Steps 1 through 6 are the minimum requirement to be able to create an inspection plan. The system

    generates one inspection characteristic per value assignment type when the inspection plan is created.

    According to your requirements you have the following additional options:

    If you want the inspection characteristic to be created in the inspection plan with reference to a master inspection characteristic and therefore want other data to be transferred from the master

    inspection characteristic, specify a plant and a master inspection characteristic.

    The key for a master inspection characteristic is made up from the plant, description of the

    master inspection characteristic, and version. As the version valid at the time the plan is created

    is always used, you do not need to specify a version.

    The contents of the class characteristics specified under Characteristic assignment overwrite the

    attributes of the master inspection characteristic.

    If the specification is a composition, different inspection characteristics can be generated from the individual ingredients. In this case, proceed as follows:

    1. a. Select the Composit. field.

    2. b. In the Specification column, specify the individual specifications in the composition.

    3. c. Specify master inspection characteristics if necessary.

    As no characteristic values are specified for compositions, you do not need to assign

    characteristics to the value assignment type under Characteristic assignment.

    If a number of different inspection characteristics are to be generated from a number of class characteristics in the value assignment type, proceed as follows:

    4. a. In the Characteristic column, specify the controlling class characteristics according to whose

    contents separate inspection characteristics are to be generated.

    5. b. In the Char. value column, assign the characteristics their contents.

  • If the characteristic value specified here matches the contents of the corresponding characteristic

    of a specification, the system creates an inspection characteristic.

    6. c. Specify master inspection characteristics if necessary.

    You must list the value assignment type several times in the Val. asst type column as required

    and assign the characteristics in each case under Characteristic assignment.

    If a number of value assignment instances exist for a value assignment type, you can generate different inspection characteristics from these data records.

    7. a. In the Characteristic column, specify the controlling class characteristics according to whose

    contents separate inspection characteristics are to be generated.

    8. b. In the Char. value column, assign the characteristics their contents.

    If the characteristic value specified here matches the contents of the corresponding characteristic

    of a specification, the system creates an inspection characteristic.

    9. c. Specify master inspection characteristics if necessary.

    You must list the value assignment type several times in the Val. asst type column as required

    and assign the characteristics in each case under Characteristic assignment.

    In the Function module column you can use a function module to define yourself how specification data is to be converted to an inspection characteristic.

    With composition properties, specifying function modules is not permitted.

    As an example, use the function module EHQM09_BUILD_CHA_NO_COMP to develop

    analogous modules.

    13. 7. Save your entries.

    Result

    You have assigned the specification data relevant for your inspection plans in the mapping table. You

    can now create inspection plans.

  • Determining Group and Group Counter

    Use

    You have the option of specifying the group and group counter yourself using the customer exit EHQM1101 Determine group and group counter when you create new inspection plans. For more detailed information on implementation, see the documentation for the customer exit.

    If you do not use the customer exit, the group and group counter are determined as follows by the system:

    The system determines whether a group already exists for the material and plant for which the inspection plan was created.

    If one exists, the inspection plan is added to this group.

    If not, the system attempts to determine the group using an old plan number. If the system cannot determine a group in this way, it specifies a new group and a new group counter for this inspection plan.

    Procedure

    Call the customer exit EHQM1101 Determine group and group counter and implement the enhancement according to your requirements.

  • Customer Exits

    In the standard system, the following enhancements have been included for the EH&S-QM interface:

    Name Description Used to

    EHQM0601 Add data to inspection plan header

    Add additional values to the existing inspection plan header when creating inspection plans

    EHQM0701 Add data to the material assignment

  • Creation of Specification-Relevant Inspection Plans

    Purpose

    You can create inspection plans using data from the specification database.

    Prerequisites

    You have edited the required

    Basic Settings and the Data Relevant for Inspection Plans.

    Process Flow

    If one or more inspection plans is to be created or updated (for example, as a result of changed specification data), enter the required selection criteria.

    Based on the selection criteria, the system displays a series of possible inspection plans in a hit list. In the hit list you can choose the plans that you want to create.

    When you have created plans, you can display the process in a log and check for any potential errors.

    After you have corrected any errors, you create the respective inspection plans again and thus update the existing inspection plans.

    In Quality Management you can call and adapt the created plans as required.

  • Creating Inspection Plans

    Use

    If new specifications were created or data changed in specifications that are relevant for quality

    inspection, you can create one or more inspection plans for these specifications.

    One inspection plan is created for each combination of specification, rating, plant, and material. You also

    have the possibility of grouping ratings together. In this case, an inspection plan is created for every

    combination of specification, plant, and material. If, during creation of the inspection plan, data is found

    to overlap in one value assignment type for one specification, a message to this effect appears in the

    log. In these overlap cases, no data is transferred to the inspection plan from this particular value

    assignment type.

    You have the option of assigning a change number to inspection plans. To do this, you must have

    created the corresponding change numbers in engineering change management in Logistics and

    approved the change number for use in inspection plans.

    Prerequisites

    You have edited the required basic settings and the data relevant for inspection plans.

    Procedure
