In SAP S/4HANA QM, outgoing quality certificates are generated for outbound deliveries (e.g., inspection type 10 or 11) to provide quality data to customers:

Delivery Item Level (C): Certificates are created at the delivery item level (transaction QC20) because each item in a delivery (VL01N) can have unique materials, batches, and inspection results requiring specific certificate data. The certificate profile (transaction QC01) is assigned to material/customer combinations, and the system generates certificates per item based on this linkage (SPRO > QM > Quality Certificates > Outgoing).

Material Level (A): Certificates aren’t created at the material master level; they’re tied to specific delivery transactions.

Shipping Point Level (B): Shipping points manage logistics, not certificate granularity.

Delivery Header Level (D): While the delivery header exists, certificates are item-specific to reflect individual material quality.

Thus, "Delivery item level" is the correct answer.References: SAP Help Portal - "Outgoing Quality Certificates"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Certificate Creation".

Outbound quality inspections (e.g., inspection type 10) in Sales and Distribution (SD) occur for deliveries:

The Inspection is Skipped (A): If no inspection type (e.g., 10) is active in the material master or quality info record: SD, the inspection can be skipped, a valid option in standard SAP.

The Inspection Occurs Before the Goods Issue is Posted (D): For inspection type 10, the inspection lot is created with the delivery (before goods issue, transaction VL02N), allowing inspection before stock is moved (standard process).

After Release of the Sales Order (B): Inspections are tied to deliveries, not sales order release.

After Creation of the Sales Order (C): Inspection lots are not created at SO creation; they require a delivery.

Thus, "The inspection is skipped" and "The inspection occurs before the goods issue is posted" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Outbound Inspections in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "SD Integration".

Partner determination in QM notifications (e.g., transaction QM01) assigns partners (e.g., responsible person) via:

Assignment to the Notification Type (D): The partner determination procedure is assigned in Customizing (SPRO > QM > Quality Notifications > Notification Creation > Define Notification Types), linking specific partner roles (e.g., coordinator) to a notification type (e.g., Q1 for customer complaints). This is the standard approach.

Notification Origin (A): Origins (e.g., 01 for GR) don’t directly assign partner procedures.

Material Type (B): Material types are MM settings, not linked to QM partner determination.

Material Master (C): Material master doesn’t store partner procedures for notifications.

Thus, "Assignment to the notification type" is the correct answer.References: SAP Help Portal - "Partner Determination in QM Notifications"; SAP S/4HANA QM Customizing Guide - "Notification Types".

Inspection points in SAP QM (configured in the inspection plan, transaction QP01) allow multiple result recordings over time or events for a single lot:

Goods Receipt Inspections (A): For inspection type 01, inspection points (e.g., per container) can be used to record results for partial deliveries or batches, common in procurement.

Inspections with Samples (D): Inspection points support sample-based inspections (e.g., physical samples), allowing results per sample point, as defined in the sampling procedure.

In-process Inspections During Production (E): For inspection type 03, inspection points (e.g., per shift or operation) enable ongoing checks during production, a standard use case.

Inspections for Quality Notifications (B): Notifications (e.g., QN01) record defects or issues but don’t use inspection points, which are lot-specific.

Inspections for Warehouse Defects (C): Warehouse defects (e.g., stock quality issues) typically use stock transfer inspections (type 08), not inspection points.

Thus, "A, D, E" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Inspection Points in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Inspection Scenarios".
