In SAP Business Network Supply Chain Collaboration, aQuality Notificationis a structured communication between buyers and suppliers to address quality issues in delivered products or services. The process involves several stages, including defect identification, root cause analysis, and resolution tracking.
The status of a Quality Notification progresses through various stages:
New: The initial status upon creation.
In-process: Indicates ongoing investigation or corrective actions.
Completed: Signifies that all necessary actions have been taken, and the issue is considered resolved.
Closed: The final status, confirming that the notification is formally closed.
The transition to the"Completed"status typically occursafter the inspection lot is accepted, confirming that the product meets the required quality standards. This acceptance is a critical step, as it verifies that the identified issues have been addressed satisfactorily. Therefore, the buyer updates the Quality Notification to "Complete" when the inspection lot is accepted.
This process ensures that all quality issues are systematically managed and resolved before finalizing the Quality Notification. For more detailed information, refer to SAP's documentation on the Quality Notification process flow.
