When creating an operation in an inspection plan (transaction QP01/QP02), certain fields aremandatory to define the operation’s purpose and execution in SAP S/4HANA QM:

Control Key (B): The control key is a mandatory field in the inspection plan operation. It determines the operation’s behavior, such as whether inspection characteristics are required, whether it’s a milestone, or if it triggers specific actions (e.g., QM01 for quality inspection). Defined in Customizing (SPRO > Quality Management > Quality Planning > Inspection Planning > Define Control Keys), it ensures the system knows how to process the operation. Without it, the operation cannot be saved.

Activity Type (A): This is relevant for cost accounting (e.g., in Production Planning or QM orders) but is not mandatory in the inspection plan operation itself.

Work Center (C): The work center (e.g., a test station) is optional in QM inspection plans unless specified by the control key. It’s common but not universally required.

Standard Text Key (D): This provides predefined descriptions for operations but is optional and not required to create an operation.

Thus, "Control key" is the correct answer, as it’s the only mandatory assignment in standard SAP QM for inspection plan operations.References: SAP Help Portal - "Inspection Planning with Task Lists"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Operations in Inspection Plans".

The response profile (transaction QMSM) in QM notifications defines automatic tasks via the "Determine Tasks" function:

Task Code Group (A): Specifies the group (e.g., from catalog type 2) containing task codes, defining the task category (SPRO > QM > Quality Notifications > Response Profile).

Task Code (C): The specific code within the group (e.g., "Investigate") is defined, detailing the task to be created.

Cause Code (B): Cause codes (catalog type 5) are for problem analysis, not task definition.

Notification Type (D): The type is set at the notification level, not in the response profile.

Thus, "Task code group" and "Task code" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Response Profiles in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Notification Tasks".

Defects recording for inspection lots (e.g., transaction QE51N) requires specific Customizing:

Assign a Notification Type to an Inspection Type (A): In Customizing (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Inspection Lot Creation > Maintain Inspection Types), linking a notification type (e.g., Q3) to an inspection type (e.g., 01) enables automatic or manual notification creation for defects, a mandatory step for integration.

Define the Report Type (D): The report type (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Defects Recording > Define Report Types) must be defined to determine the defect recording layout and process, a required setting.

Activate the Workflow Template (B): Workflow is optional for notifications, not mandatory for defect recording.

Activate Reference to Existing Notifications (C): This is an optional enhancement, not a requirement.

Thus, "Assign a notification type to an inspection type" and "Define the report type" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Defects Recording Customizing"; SAP S/4HANA QM Customizing Guide - "Inspection Types".

Sample-drawing items in the sample-drawing procedure (transaction QPV2) specify:

Number of Samples (B): Defines how many samples (e.g., 5 units) are drawn per item, a key field in the item details.

Sample Categories (D): Specifies the type (e.g., primary, reserve, pooled) for each sample-drawing item, a mandatory attribute.

Confirmation of Sample Drawing (A): Confirmation occurs in sample management (e.g., QPR2), not stored in the procedure item.

Sample Drawing Based on Number of Containers (C): This is a rule in the procedure header, not an item-specific detail.

Thus, "Number of samples" and "Sample categories" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Sample-Drawing Procedure"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Sample Management".
