Quality Certificate

To meet quality standards and to comply with regulations, it is mandatory for some products to be accompanied by a quality certificate containing details specific to the batch. To create a quality certificate, first we need to create a certificate profile in the system. To do that go to tcode QC01.

Enter the certificate profile name and choose the certificate type and press enter. In this example, I will be choosing E21. Certificate type is also one of the fields in QM material master view. While performing GR, it is necessary to confirm whether the certificate is enclosed or not

Add SAPscript Form Name as QM_QCERT_01. If there is any requirement to create certificates for Accepted lots only then click on the checkbox. Enter inspection lot origin and inspection type for which the certificate has to be created. 

Next click on Characteristics overview

Enter the serial number, in the characteristic category either choose MIC or class characteristics.

Enter plant and MIC that has to be printed in the certificate. All other details will be popped up after pressing enter. If needed they can be changed as per business requirements.

We can also assign materials for which this profile can be used.

After adding all the details, release profile and save.

Next go to tcode QC15 and assign profile to material/customer combination or material or material group.

Enter material or materials and check valid on date. Click on execute.

Enter the profile name, version and certificate type and press save

Next go to QC21. Enter the inspection lot number for which UD has to be performed.

Next when you click on execute, this pop up appears. Choose the recipient.

This is how the certificate looks.
