Hi,
Kaushal,
"If a quality assurance agreement or a vendor release is required for a material, you must create a quality information record (quality info record). The quality info record determines how the material can be processed further."
When a quotation or purchase order is created, the system checks whether a quality info record is required and available for the combination of material and vendor.
The system also checks whether the vendor and material-vendor combination is blocked or released for quotations, purchase orders and/or goods receipt. The execution of this check depends on the setting of the QM in procurement control key in the material master.
The quality info record displays a vendor block specified in the vendor master, the vendor's QM system, and the lock date.
Now answer for the second question:
What dat we mainatain into it?
I think that answer I have already answered in your last thread regarding the same Subject, but anyways let it here again.
As I guess you are asking about the "Release Until" field under "Release Date", here the date to be maintained up to which you need the Q - Info Record to be work.
E.g.: -If you have some agreement with the Vendor and the agreement/contract will be valid up to 31.12.2010. And On 31.12.2010 the contract must be verified and then if required then will be renewed. And this contract is regarding some quality agreement then the QA/QC must have control over it so SAP has provided this facility with released until, enter the dt;- 31.12.2010 in this field. And system will let you create PO/GR till 31.12.2010 only. From 01.01.2011. It will block it automatically.
As live example of this quality agreement you can take some regulatory certificate of vendor, and assume it expires on the 31.12.2010, then you can put that at released until.

Dear Shyamal,
I got the answer of my question.
Can you tell one thing more here?
What is quality assurance agreement or vendor release?
Where do i do this setting where system checks whether a quality info record is required and available for the combination of material and vendor?
How is vendor master maintained related to quality.

Ooooooooooops,
To many questions at once, Kaushal!!!
Anyways I'll try to ans one by one....
All of first the QA Agreement is a document that mentioned the dialogue between the Vendor's commitment regarding quality and the QA/QC of the company. This is mainly used for Pharma/Health Care/Food etc industries. I have Pasted an example documentation of the same refer it to have better idea about it.
Now from SAP Point of view.
If a quality assurance agreement is required by the procurement key set for the material, you can enter one by choosing Edit ® Quality agreement from the menu bar. In the window that is displayed you enter the required data that identifies the quality assurance agreement that is stored in the document management system.
Document type (default: Q01)
Document identifier
Identifier for the relevant section of the document
Version of the document
If you do not enter a quality assurance agreement when you create the quality information record, the system issues a warning message and allows you to continue.
Detailed information on creating documents in the document management system is provided in PP - Document Management.
Where do i do this setting where system
checks whether a quality info record is
required and available for the combination
of material and vendor?
In material master->QM view->Activate the Procurement data.
The system will not allow any vendor to create PO accept the Q- Info Record is there in the system for all plants.

Shyamal
