Question - What is the integration between PM and QM in SAP?
Answer -
There are many interwoven activities.
Let us consider one practical issue of Spare Parts purchase.
We prefer to inspect incoming material for compliance of our requirements.
While creating of material master, tick the ‘Post to Insp. stock’ box in the Purchasing Tab.
If we do not want a task list / Result recording oriented inspection, in the Quality tab, choose appropriate selections,
When that Spare is received, it will go to Quality Stock.
Maint. a person can check it and transfer the stock to “Unrestricted Stock” through MB1B via 261 movements, giving a reason as Accepted after Inspection or Rejected.
The above procedure is a practical example of PM QM integration.
