Define Control Keys

In this step, you define the control keys for QM in procurement.

The control keys in the material master are defined at plant level. They contain a range of control options that are explained in the F1 help.

Activities

1. Determine which material groups can have the same control settings.
2. Define the control keys for each material group.

Further notes

You must carry out the following additional activities, depending on how you defined the control key:

Define technical delivery terms for material and plant.

Define quality assurance agreements for material, vendor and plant.

Release material, vendor and plant.

Define certificate types and certificate processing activities.
