SAP Quality Management
Supply Chain & Manufacturing
SAP QM Consultant, SAP QM-PP Consultant, SAP QM-MM Consultant
SAP QM (Quality Management) embeds quality checks into logistics processes. Inspections can be triggered automatically at goods receipt, during production, before delivery or on a schedule.
QM records inspection results against specifications, makes usage decisions that release or block stock, manages defects and complaints through quality notifications, and issues quality certificates to customers.
In S/4HANA, QM is part of manufacturing and supports Fiori apps for inspection and defect management. Regulated industries pair it with batch management, electronic records and audit management.
