Question: What are the Basic required Master Data in Quality Planning for Inspection Lot ?

Focus on QM-MM for Purchase Order Goods Receipt Inspection Lot, note the following characteristics:

• Must be Material Master but at least with "Quantity Update" in the Material Type.
• As for Quality Planning Basic Master data, please check the following Link to Blog Posts.

Question: The Confusion of Planned Processes and Event-Controlled Processes in SAP QM presentation.

The following is the Instructor point of view (not SAP): 

Maybe better to be classified instead as Planned Processes vs Unplanned Processes: 

• Planned Processes
• Movement type triggered Inspection Lots (eg: GR with ref to PO)
• Recurring Inspection (for Batches via Deadline Monitoring)
• Source Inspection (Inspection Lot for PO before GR)
• Stability Studies 
• Calibration via Inspection Lot (QM-PM integration for Equipment Calibration)
• Quality Audit
• Unplanned Processes
• Customer Complaint
• Internal Complaint
• Complaint to Vendor
• Defect Recording

Caution, for QM Certification examination purpose, just follow the SAP QM material definitions of Planned and Event-Control Processes, BUT for practical understanding is easier to just grouped the QM processes as Planned vs Unplanned Processes. (the word "Event-Control" sounds nice and 'educated' but serve no purpose in elaborating the difference of the processes in QM). 

(note: there are no right or wrong, just a personal opinion).

Question: Is there a way to reverse incorrect stock posting that was done via UD?

Findings: After UD in QA11, it is not possible to reverse the UD via QA12. Assuming the UD wrongly perform Quantity Posting from QI to Blocked Stock (the intended Qty Posting is QI to Unrestricted). So, the wrong posting for example used Movement type "350" (QI to Block), and via MIGO using "351" to reverse is not possible as the Material activated for QM cannot manually move stocks back into QI stock type. I have tried Activating Inspection type "08" (Transfer Posting), and this also not allow "351" via MIGO to perform the "Reversal". 

Recommendations: see the screen shot above suggested solution by SAP to use SAP user exit QEVA0008 and SAP function EXIT_SAPMQEVA_008 and this will require ABAP developer assistance; from the MM point of view will required OMJJ to allow the reversal movement type to use in QA12 (UD Change with History), QA14 (UD Change without History). 

You can find Exit "EQVA0008" in t-code CMOD, check the Function module EXIT_SAPMQEVA_008 where you can find the example ABAP coding for UD Reversal in Include Programs LXQEVF10 to ZCQEVU10. 

In SAP Note number: 175842, (this is another possibility); where in this OSS note 175842, you can also find a Correction note number: 298389, and in this correction note; there will be object description for the object RQEVAC50 and here you can find the recommended source code for the ABAPer to use as reference to create ZABAP program for UD Reversal.

Answer: QM for Manufacturing offer QM processing for 3 main Modules:

PP-DI (Discrete Industry - Production Orders)

• Inspection type "03" (for Production Order In-Process QC)
• Inspection type "04" (for Prod Order Goods Receipts QA with option for Early Insp Lot before GR) 
• Inspection type "130" (for External Processing PR-PO for Operations via Ctrl Key PP06)

PP-PI (Process Industry - Process Orders)

• Inspection type "03" (for Process Order Order In-Process QC)
• Inspection type "04" (for Process Order Goods Receipts QA with option for Early Insp Lot before GR) 
• Inspection type "130" (for External Processing PR-PO for Operations via Ctrl Key PI06)

PP-REM (Repetitive Manufacturing - Repetitive Planned Orders)

• Inspection type "13" (REM In-Process QC)
• Inspection type "04" (Goods Receipt Repetitive Manufacturing Planned Orders)

Question: Notes on overview of QM for SD application.

Answer: Standard SAP provides the following Inspection Types for QM-SD integration:

• Inspection type "06" (Customer Return Inspection)
• Inspection type "10" (Inspection for Delivery to Customer with Sales Order)
• Inspection type "11" (Inspection for Delivery to Customer without Sales Order)

Similar to MM, QM for SD also offers Quality Info Record (albeit lesser parameters compared to QIR for MM) with the option for Inspection before PGI or Inspection after PGI for Outbound Delivery.

Question: Menu path for Attribute and UD Selected set plus creation step ?

SAP QM uses 7 Catalogs for its Code Groups and Codes:

5 of the Catalogs are used for QM Notification (don't use Selected Sets)

2 of the Catalogs are used for RR and UD (for these 2 will use Selected Sets)

• Catalog "1" for Attributes of Qualitative MIC, the Code Group and Codes are assigned to Selected Set and then the Selected Set assign to the MIC.
• Catalog "3" for UD, the Code Group and Codes are assigned to Selected Set and then the Selected Set assign to the Inspection Type.

Answer: The configuration of the 2 Selected sets above as well as FIORI app for the Processing of RR and UD can be found in the following Blog Posts.

Question: Review notes, step by step for Calibration (PM-QM Integration) process.

SAP equipment calibration is a process that ensures testing equipment, such as meters, gauges, and instrumentation, is set up, checked, and maintained to provide accurate results. The process involves integrating test equipment management from the SAP Quality Management module with maintenance order processing in PM.

Question: Review notes, Dynamic Modification example update to Quality Level.

The dynamic modification rule contains the definition of the inspection stages, the dynamic modification time, and the conditions for the inspection stage changes. An inspection stage specifies inspection parameters such as the inspection severity, as well as the probability that an inspection is to be performed.

Answer: See the following Blog Posts of how to setup DMR and the processing:
