Define Document Types

You define the document types for QM in Procurement in transaction code SM30 - V_TQ09

You can lock the document type from Customizing with transaction OQBB

Unlock the document type from Customizing with transaction OQBC

In this step, you define the document types for the exchange of quality documents with vendors.

Two document types have been defined in the standard system for QM in Procurement:

• Q01 - quality assurance agreement with vendors (QAA)

(Stored in the info record for the material and vendor supply relationship)
• Q02 - technical delivery terms (TDT)

(Stored in the material master)

The settings have been made so that :-

• The output function in procurement (for example, the purchase order printout) can process these documents. Therefore, in the standard system there are only SAPscript texts allowed for this document type.

• You can follow a procedure that complies with the rules for quality documents, for example, whether a new document version is required, if a released document has been changed.

You should check the controls for these document types, but not change them. You should also not define any additional document types for QM in procurement. You can only change the settings relating to the document type, provided that this does not affect the output functions in Procurement. For example, you may want to define a different status sequence from the one contained in the standard system for these documents. To do this, you must temporarily remove the Customizing block on these document types.
