Automatic partner assignment to F2 Quality Notifications

Hi;

Is it possible to assign a partner (other than the creator) automatically to F2 quality notifications (material as reference object)?

Back in my PM days, Partners (VW: Person Responsible) were assigned to reference objects (i.e. Functional locations or Equipment). When a notification was created for a reference object where only one partner was assigned, that partner would automatically copy to the notification. More than one partner would trigger a pop-up window where user manually selected one.

Is it possible to do something similar with Quality notification – other than writing ABAP code?

Best regards

Hello Werner,

In Quality Management, you can define a partner determination procedure (with all required partner functions) and assign partner determination procedure to notification type.

In standard, F2 notification type is assigned to partner determination procedure Q2 wich has the following partner functions :

Q2ABDepartment resp.
Q2HRManufacturer
Q2ITInterested party
Q2KOCoordinator
Q2KUCoordinator
Q2VNVendor
Q2PRPosition Responsible
Q2VUUser Responsible
Q2VWPerson Responsible

Now, coming to the story of copying from reference objects, this will depend on what is the type of partner you are looking for. In quality notifications, especially in F2, if the partner is the vendor, you can assign this function to the vendor field and this will copy the vendor from reference object (wich is actually the inspection lot for the GR) which has in turn taken the vendor from initial PO.

The following function types are available to configure in customizing:

For notifications with customer reference

Customer

Contact Person

For notifications with vendor reference

Vendor

Manufacturer


For internal notifications

Author Function

For all notifications, you can also assign the following function types:

Implementing dept.

Person responsible

Function for paging

Task processor

If you need something else to copy with probably a specific rule, then you need to look for the right user exit to use depending on the requirements.

Hope this clarifies.

Regards,

Ayoub.

I want to clarify if it is possible to have the author field BUNAME-QMEL in the subject tab of a Q2 notification. I have checked the screen areas 035-037 and have found Vendor and Manufacturer only.

The author appears in the Q3 notification . Please confirm if this is  correct. Thank you

Hello,

In PM functional location and equipment are the objects where you maintain the data and at any poin of time when notification raised data copied from these objects.

While in Quality notification we have only material/ SO/PO/ Delivery only these as referrence objects and no where we define any data related to partners.

Customer from SO and Vendor from PO auto populate in fields but yes you need to write the code by using the technical help only : Auto Partner determination In QM notification userexit is available.
