Introducing QM in Procurement The QM component is integrated in crucial phases of the procurement process. It supports the procurement activities by means of functions such as: - Vendor Evaluation
- Vendor block
- Vendor Release for requests for quotation and purchase orders
- Assigning technical delivery terms and quality assurance agreements
- Certificate processing
- Status administration of the supply relationships
- Incoming inspections
- Goods receipt inspections

You can implement the QM in Procurement component as a stand-alone component or together with the Quality Inspection (QM-IM) component. As a stand-alone component, you can use all procurement functions except those for processing goods receipt inspections. To process such inspections, you need the Quality Inspection component. |
