| # Non-Conformance Material Report & Dispositions Process Non-Conformance Material Report (NCMR) functionality allows you to report non-conforming material identified during inspection ( Quality or Warehouse Inspection) or during the movement of the materials and/or when the material is in stock. The material is inspected to verify that the items conform to the relevant specifications and/or drawings. During the material inspection process, if a non-conformance is detected, the material is immediately isolated. This process is applicable to material that is purchased, material that is issued for a production order, finished goods from a production order, issue on a sales order and so on. The NCMR is applicable for following order origins with or without QM inspections. Purchase Sales Warehouse transfers SFC Production EP Distribution Storage Inspection Parameter setting for NCMR To implement the Quality, select the Quality Management (QM) checkbox in Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. Use the Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000) session to implement the NCMR functionality in Quality. If Non-Conforming Material Report Implemented check box is checked, the NCMR functionality is implemented in Quality. If the Log History check box is checked, you can track the changes made in NCMR. The master data set-up Define the types of non-confirming material using the Non-Conforming Material Types (qmncm0101m000) session. Define the severity of non-confirming material using the Severities (qmncm0102m000) session. Define the material review board and owner of the material review board for non-confirming material using the Material Review Boards (qmncm0103m000) session. Define the cause for non-confirming using the Non-Conforming Cause (qmncm0104m000) session. Specify the team or person responsible for non-confirming material in Non-Conformance Responsible (qmncm0105m000) session. The procedure to create NCMR Complete the following steps to create NCMR: Step 1. Generate NCMR Use the Non-Conforming Material Reports (NCMR) (qmncm1100m000) session to maintain the details of NCMR. Based on the order origin ERP Enterprise displays the order details. If NCMR is created manually enter the order origin. Enter the details relating to source order data (if required), lot identifiers, a description of the material non-conformance, some categorization of the non-conformance and information relating to the reporter. Enter the Material Review Board and owner of the NCMR who is responsible to take action against the NCMR. The NCMR is created with status open irrespective of the order origin. Step 2. Submit the NCMR Use the appropriate option in the Non-Conforming Material Reports (NCMR) (qmncm1100m000) session to submit the NCMR for a completeness check and routing decision, to identify the individual responsible for carrying out the non-conforming material disposition. You can change the default NCMR report owner and/or the default Material Review Board (MRB). To change the data you can revert an NCMR with status submitted to status open. Step 3. Assign NCMR Use the appropriate option in the Non-Conforming Material Reports (NCMR) (qmncm1100m000) session to assign the NCMR with status submitted. To incorporate the changes suggested by the owner of the material review board, you can change the status from assigned to submitted. Step 4. The disposition The responsible person/ owner investigates the material non-conformance and if required re-assigns the NCMR to another owner or MRB in the Details Tab of Non-Conforming Material Reports (NCMR) (qmncm1100m000) session. Following are some of the pre-defined dispositions for the NCMR: Rework (to existing specification): This disposition is for non-conforming material that can be reworked without adverse effect on safety, performance, interchangeability, reliability, or quality. The reworked material is returned to the normal flow of material. Rework (to new specification): This disposition is for non-conforming material that can be reworked without adverse effect on safety, performance, interchangeability, reliability, or quality. ERP Enterprise assigns a new part number. Reclassify: This disposition involves the reclassification of non-conforming material and will normally involve the assignment of a new part number. Return to Vendor: This disposition is applicable when the material discrepancy is the responsibility of the supplier and other dispositions are not recommended. Scrap: The non-conforming material cannot be used for its intended purposes and cannot be repaired. Proof of scrapping is required. Use as is: Is for items, parts or products for which minor nonconformance is repeated which can be ignored. Repair to Concession: This disposition is to bring the nonconforming material to an acceptable condition but which may not totally conformed to the applicable drawings or specifications. No Fault Found: This disposition is used when the non-conformance is reported erroneously. Material of this disposition is returned to the normal flow. Step 5. Set the NCMR disposition You cannot change a NCMR with status disposition to a previous status. Step 6. Close NCMR Select the Close NCMR to close the NCMR and status automatically changes to Closed. You cannot change a NCMR with status closed to a previous status. |
