Sap Quality Management (sap qm)
SAP Quality Management (QM) assures that products meet stringent regulatory standards, are safe and uniform, and meet company product specifications. SAP QM processes are thoroughly integrated into the manufacturing process.
The Quality Management (qm) process can integrate with the following sap modules:
The Quality Management module covers all classic quality management tasks, such as quality planning (setup of data for QM tasks), quality inspection, and quality control. SAP has several QM terms that are important to note.
Quality Planning: the creation and management of master data that is required to plan and complete inspections.
Quality Inspection: the identification of whether an inspection unit meets specified criteria.
Quality Certificates: documents that contain text, value, and inspection results, which are used to certify the material.
Quality Notifications: the recording and processing of internal or external problems that result from poor quality.
Quality Control: the combination of specification from inspection planning, results from quality inspections, and quality notifications form the basis for quality control.
Test Equipment Management: the management of test equipment in the form of master data records in SAP.
The following figure shows a sample flow that depicts typical tasks in the Quality Management process flow.
This is brief review of the components and processes associated with the SAP QM module. For a more in-depth understanding of the Quality Management module, please review our available SAP Quality Management training.

Sap Plant Maintenance (sap pm)
Plant Maintenance operates the overall maintenance business processes and functions. The Plant Maintenance module allows a maintenance organization to:
Identify, document, and correct failures and degradations of any assets for which they have responsibility.
Plan and schedule activities to prevent or predict failures and keep assets and processes operating within design specifications.
Both Corrective and Preventative maintenance processes exist in the Plant Maintenance module.
Corrective maintenance refers to the activities conducted by the Maintenance Organization to repair equipment of all forms within their area of responsibility. Preventive maintenance is a discipline that uses processes and activities that focus on the prevention of failures or performance degradation before it occurs. The following diagram illustrates the common process for both Corrective and Preventative Maintenance within the Plant Maintenance module:
Subcomponents of the sap Plant Maintenance (sap pm) Module:
Management of Technical Objects - includes master data objects such as functional locations and equipment master records.
Maintenance Processing - includes processing steps such as notifications and work orders.
Preventative Maintenance - includes maintenance planning and work scheduling tasks.
