Automatic usage decision (UD) in SAP QM (configured via transaction QA16) requires:

No Inspection Characteristic Was Rejected (A): All characteristics must be accepted (e.g., valuation "A") for the system to proceed automatically (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Usage Decision > Define Automatic UD).

All Required Inspection Characteristics Were Confirmed and Completed (B): Required characteristics (marked in the plan) must have results recorded and valuated (status RREC).

There Are No Defect Records for the Inspection Lot (E): Open defects block automatic UD, ensuring quality issues are resolved first.

Activity Recording Finished for All Operations (C): Activity confirmation (e.g., time) is optional and not a prerequisite.

All Inspection Operations Completed (D): Operations completion isn’t mandatory; characteristic completion is sufficient.

Thus, "A, B, E" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Automatic Usage Decision"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "UD Processing".

To record inspection results for an inspection lot (e.g., transaction QE51N):

The Sample Determination Has Been Performed for the Inspection Lot (A): The lot must have its sample size calculated (status "SAMP" or "INSP") based on the sampling procedure, a prerequisite for result entry (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Sample Management).

The Inspection Operations Are Released for Inspection Results Recording (B): Operations in the inspection plan must be released (status REL) to allow result recording, ensuring the lot is ready (transaction QP01).

The Inspection Methods Are Part of the Inspection Specifications (C): Methods guide execution but aren’t a condition for recording.

The Inspection Specifications Have Been Assigned to the Inspection Lot (D): Specs (e.g., material specs) are linked implicitly via the plan, not a separate condition.

Thus, "The sample determination has been performed for the inspection lot" and "The inspection operations are released for inspection results recording" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Prerequisites for Results Recording"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Inspection Lot Processing".

In SAP S/4HANA QM, the action box in quality notifications (e.g., transaction QM02) triggersfollow-up actions, which can be documented as:

As Task (C): Activities from the action box (e.g., "Send email") can be created as tasks in the notification’s task tab, using catalog type 2 (Tasks). This is a standard option for actionable steps (SPRO > QM > Quality Notifications > Define Action Box).

As Activity (D): Activities can be logged in the activities tab (catalog type 8) to record completed actions (e.g., "Email sent"), documenting the execution of the action box entry.

As Cause (A): Causes (catalog type 5) describe why an issue occurred, not action box outcomes.

As Item (B): Items detail defects or problems, not action documentation.

Thus, "As task" and "As activity" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Action Box in Quality Notifications"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Notification Processing".

Sample-drawing items in the sample-drawing procedure (transaction QPV2) define sample categories:

Reserve Sample (A): A standard category for samples retained for future testing (e.g., stability), maintained in the procedure.

Pooled Sample (B): Represents combined samples for collective testing, a defined category in sample management.

Primary Sample (D): The initial sample taken for immediate inspection, a core category in the procedure.

Initial Sample (C): Not a distinct category; overlaps with "Primary sample."

Sample for Storage Condition (E): Not a standard category; storage conditions are attributes, not sample types.

Thus, "Reserve sample," "Pooled sample," and "Primary sample" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Sample Management in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Sample-Drawing Procedure".

Control charts in SAP QM (e.g., during results recording, transaction QGC1) monitor characteristic values against statistical limits. Rejection is based on:

Action Limit (D): The action limit (upper/lower control limit, UCL/LCL) is the threshold beyond which a characteristic is rejected, indicating a process is out of control. In Customizing (SPRO > Quality Management > Quality Inspection > SPC > Define Control Charts), exceeding this limit triggers rejection or further action (e.g., defect recording).

Warning Limit (A): Warning limits (e.g., 2-sigma) signal potential issues but don’t automatically reject the characteristic; they prompt monitoring, not rejection.

Moving Average Line (B): This tracks trends but isn’t a rejection threshold.

Center Line (C): The center line (mean) is a reference, not a limit for rejection.

Thus, "Action limit" is the correct answer, aligning with SPC rejection rules.References: SAP Help Portal - "Statistical Process Control in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Control Charts".

Defects recording for inspection lots (e.g., transaction QE51N) requires specific Customizing:

Assign a Notification Type to an Inspection Type (A): In Customizing (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Inspection Lot Creation > Maintain Inspection Types), linking a notification type (e.g., Q3) to an inspection type (e.g., 01) enables automatic or manual notification creation for defects, a mandatory step for integration.

Define the Report Type (D): The report type (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Defects Recording > Define Report Types) must be defined to determine the defect recording layout and process, a required setting.

Activate the Workflow Template (B): Workflow is optional for notifications, not mandatory for defect recording.

Activate Reference to Existing Notifications (C): This is an optional enhancement, not a requirement.

Thus, "Assign a notification type to an inspection type" and "Define the report type" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Defects Recording Customizing"; SAP S/4HANA QM Customizing Guide - "Inspection Types".

Dynamic modification levels in SAP QM determine the granularity at which inspection scope changes (e.g., reduced to full inspection) are applied in an inspection plan (transaction QP01):

Characteristic Level (A): Modification can occur at the individual characteristic level within an operation, allowing specific MICs to skip or intensify based on their quality history.

Inspection Lot Level (C): The entire inspection lot can be modified (e.g., skipped), based on the quality level for the material or combination (e.g., material/supplier).

Operation Level (D): Modification can apply to an operation, adjusting all characteristics within it based on performance (e.g., operation-specific skip).

Inspection Type Level (B): Inspection types define the process (e.g., 01 for GR), but dynamic modification is not set at this level; it’s tied to plans or lots.

Work Center (E): Work centers are execution locations, not a level for dynamic modification in QM.

Thus, "Characteristic level," "Inspection lot level," and "Operation level" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Dynamic Modification in Inspection Planning"; SAP S/4HANA QM Customizing Guide - "Dynamic Modification".

Inspection points in SAP QM (configured in the inspection plan header, transaction QP01) allow multiple recordings within an inspection lot. Standard types include:

Inspection Point for Sample (A): Used for physical samples (e.g., per sample drawn), defined via inspection point type "1" (sample-based) in Customizing (SPRO > QM > Quality Planning > Inspection Planning > Define Inspection Point Types). Common in goods receipt or production.

Inspection Point for Functional Location (C): Type "3" supports inspections tied to functional locations (Plant Maintenance integration), used for equipment or facility checks within QM.

Inspection Point for Equipment (E): Type "2" links to equipment master records (PM), enabling equipment-specific inspection points in QM processes.

Inspection Point for Incoming Certificates (B): Certificates are managed separately (e.g., quality certificates in procurement), not as an inspection point type.

Inspection Point for Defects Recording (D): Defects are recorded within inspection points, but this is not a distinct type; it’s a function of existing types.

Thus, "Inspection point for sample," "Inspection point for functional location," and "Inspection point for equipment" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Inspection Points in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM Customizing Guide - "Inspection Point Types".
