QUALITY MANAGEMENT (MASTER DATA TABLES)

In SAP QM (Quality Management), the Master Inspection Characteristics

(MIC) and related data are stored in various tables depending on the
context. Here's a table summarizing the key tables associated with MIC

Table Description Key Fields

Name

Master Inspection Characteristics

QPMK (MIC) master data MKMNR (MIC Name), WERKS (Plant)

Texts for Master Inspection MKMNR (MIC Name), SPRACHE (Language), KURZTEXT (Short
QPMT Characteristics Text), LTEXTEKZ (Long Text Indicator)

Assignment of Inspection Methods or MKMNR (MIC Name), WERKS (Plant), PMETHOD (Inspection
QPMZ Catalogs to MIC Method), CAT_TYPE1 (Catalog Type)

Inspection Plan Characteristics

QAMV Specifications PRUEFLOS (Inspection Lot), MERKNR (Characteristic Number)

PRUEFLOS (Inspection Lot), MERKNR (Characteristic Number),

QAMR Results for Inspection Characteristics ORIGINAL_INPUT (Result Value)

Single Results for Inspection PRUEFLOS (Inspection Lot), MERKNR (Characteristic Number),
QASE Characteristics DETAILERG (Individual Result)

Key Details:
1. QPMK: This is the primary table for MIC master data. You can filter by
plant (WERKS) and MIC name ( MKMNR) to retrieve specific details15.
2. QPMT: Stores text descriptions for MICs, including short and long text
fields, along with language-specific details4.
3. QPMZ: Used to assign inspection methods or catalogs to MICs. It can
store multiple rows for a single MIC based on manual or automated
creation2.
4. QAMV/QAMR/QASE: These tables handle inspection lot characteristics,
results, and individual sample results, respectively, linking back to the
inspection lot ( PRUEFLOS) and characteristic number ( MERKNR)13.

These tables can be accessed using transactions like SE16 or SE16N for
querying data or SQVI for creating custom queries.

SAMPLE PROCESSOR

In SAP QM, the key tables related to sample processors and sampling
procedures are as follows:

Table Name Description Key Fields

PRUEFLOS (Inspection Lot), MERKNR (Characteristic

Sample specifications for Number), PROBENR (Sample Number), PRSTUFE (Inspection
QASV inspection processing Stage)1

PRZIEHVERF (Sample-Drawing Procedure), VERSION

QPRVK Sample-drawing procedure (Version No.), GUELTIGAB (Valid-From Date)2

Screen fields for processing

RQPRS the sample master record Used for UI data related to sample master records3

QDEB Sampling procedures Sampling procedure definitions and configurations4

QDPA/ Sampling scheme instructions QDPK (Sampling scheme header), QDPA (Sampling scheme
QDPK and header instructions)4

Key Highlights:
1. QASV: This table holds detailed specifications for samples during
inspection processing, including the sample number, inspection stage, and
acceptance/rejection criteria.
2. QPRVK: Contains data related to sample-drawing procedures, such as
procedure versions and validity dates.
3. RQPRS: Focuses on screen fields for managing sample master records,
often used in user interface-related processes.
4. QDEB/QDPA/QDPK: These tables are part of the sampling procedure and
scheme setup, covering definitions, combinations, and instructions.
These tables are essential for managing sampling processes in SAP QM,
from defining procedures to processing samples during inspections.

INSPECTION PLAN

In SAP QM, the tables related to Inspection Plans are as follows:

Table Description Key Fields

Name

PLNNR (Group Number), PLNAL (Group Counter), WERKS

PLKO Inspection Plan Header (Plant)

PLNNR (Group Number), PLNAL (Group Counter), VORNR

PLPO Task List – Operation/Activity (Operation Number)

PLNNR (Group Number), PLNAL (Group Counter), MERKNR

PLMK Inspection Plan Characteristics (Characteristic Number)

PLM Dependent Characteristic PLNNR (Group Number), PLNAL (Group Counter), MERKNR
W Specifications (Characteristic Number)

Material Assignment to Task MATNR (Material Number), WERKS (Plant), PLNNR (Group
MAPL Lists Number)

Key Details:
1. PLKO: Stores the header information for inspection plans, including the
group number, plant, and validity details.
2. PLPO: Contains operation or activity details within the inspection plan,
such as operation numbers and descriptions.
3. PLMK: Holds the characteristics defined in the inspection plan, including
Master Inspection Characteristics (MICs).
4. PLMW: Provides dependent specifications for characteristics, often used
for tolerance limits and formulas.
5. MAPL: Links materials to task lists, enabling assignment of inspection
plans to specific materials.
These tables are essential for managing inspection plans in SAP QM. They
can be accessed using transactions like SE16 or SE16N for querying data
and creating reports

 QUALITY MANAGEMENT (MASTER DATA TABLES)

In SAP QM, the key tables related to Inspection Methods are as follows:

Table Description Key Fields

Name

PMTNR (Inspection Method), VERSION (Version Number),

QMTB Inspection Method Master Record WERKS (Plant)

PMTNR (Inspection Method), SPRACHE (Language),

QMTT Inspection Method Texts KURZTEXT (Short Text)

Assignment of Inspection Methods or MKMNR (MIC Name), PMETHOD (Inspection Method),

QPMZ Catalogs to MIC CAT_TYPE1 (Catalog Type)

Key Details:
1. QMTB: This table stores the master data for inspection methods,
including the method name, version, and plant details12.
2. QMTT: Contains text descriptions for inspection methods in different
languages2.
3. QPMZ: Used to assign inspection methods or catalogs to Master
Inspection Characteristics (MICs). It can store data for either inspection
methods or catalogs, depending on how it is populated6.
These tables are crucial for defining and managing inspection methods
within SAP QM.

MATERIAL MASTER

In SAP QM, the material master is primarily managed through the Material
Management (MM) module, but certain QM-specific data is integrated into
the material master views. Here are some key tables related to the
material master in the context of SAP QM:
