SAP Quality Issue Management

]No business process always runs perfectly and so quality deviations are part of day-to-day business. These include, for example, production and logistics problems, but also incoming customer complaints or deviations in the area of suppliers. That is why every company needs processes and tools (including dashboards and analytic apps) to detect, document, track, successfully correct and, last but not least, avoid quality deviations at an early stage.

The SAP Quality Issue Management Module (SAP QIM) provides a comprehensive software solution for the efficient management of all quality-related issues in a company. It is based on the proven SAP NetWeaver architecture and offers seamless integration into existing SAP and third-party systems.

End of SAP QIM support in 2027

It has been known for some time that regular support for the SAP Business Suite, with its central component SAP ERP 6.0, will end in 2027. Customers can delay the end of support until 2030 by purchasing Extended Maintenance. Alongside the Business Suite, support for SAP NetWeaver will also be discontinued. Despite this announcement regarding the end of support, DHC will continue to offer consultancy services for companies which are currently using SAP QIM or require a transitional strategy. With our help, you can optimise your current systems, develop a migration strategy and prepare for the future in the SAP environment in good time.

For companies that use SAP QIM and switch to S/4HANA, the quality notification is a good alternative. The functions of SAP QIM are replaced by the integrated quality notifications in S/4HANA. With the switch to S/4HANA, companies experience a further development of the existing quality management processes. For example, the Q-notification enables improved, deep integration into the central ERP system.
Migrating to SAP S/4HANA and using Q-notifications instead of SAP QIM is therefore an important step towards a modern and efficient quality management solution. Companies benefit from improved functions, faster data processing and better integration into the overall S/4HANA architecture.

SAP QIM data migration to SAP S/4HANA

Companies should start preparing for the migration at an early stage. To do this, they need to analyse their current quality management processes and migrate their SAP QIM data to the future solution. Meanwhile, they need to ensure that all users are properly trained.
The DHC team for Development Services has used its many years of experience in SAP custom development to develop a solution for migrating SAP QIM data to SAP S/4HANA. The software enables secure and efficient data transfer to the SAP S/4HANA system by converting QIM issues into Q-messages.
